Day 199

Benjamin Franklin said there were only two things certain in life: death and taxes. But I’d like to add a third certainty: trash. And while some in this room might want to discuss reducing taxes, I want to talk about reducing trash.

Day 200

I’m always on the lookout for free art material. Trash that most people throw away, I salvage, and turn it into something worth keeping. I made this book with a pamphlet that came in the box with the new mouse I bought for my computer. I’m also in the process of making a mini book with something else that came in the box, which I’ll show you sometime soon.

What I did for fun: LÜSCHER COLOR DIAGNOSTICS to see what my favorite colors said about my personality. It’s a bit dated, and the results are on the negative side, imo, but it literally only took two seconds to do, so..eh.
