Digging through the dusty corners of Dropbox and stumbled onto my very first illustration attempts I was 21, had no drawing ability, and was making little "illustrated charts." Most based off quotes I liked. Drawn on scraps of coloured paper with tiny micron pens Such throwback

Wish they weren't so tiny and grainy, but I hadn't learned was "resolution" was yet and had to salvage them from Tubmlr Some of them are very Tumblr... Also had yet to learn to be subtle and nuanced with my young socialist opinions 😆

My earnestness was showing, but I still find them terribly amusing. I think younger me was the funnier version.

@Mappletons

these are all awesome — perhaps you'll find yourself going back and recreating your favorites with all the skills you've acquired since making these! Or not :)

Ha that’s a good point - hadn’t properly thought about the fact I could just remake them in higher res. Probably too attached to the notion of “the originals are the real version” but that’s a bit silly
