Thanks to my combination of cheapness and my desire to be at Yale for as long as possible, I stayed on campus during Spring Break, deciding that every day I'd hit one of JE's whiteboards. Here's week one's adventures.I wanted to be as spontaneous as possible with these, just pack a dry erase marker, find an open whiteboard, and draw. My three rules were: tag once daily before midnight, don't tag it if the suite seems occupied, and do not be seen.
First up was "my" suite. Easy. The only guy living there was a total hermit, if he existed at all.
Fun Facts: I was going for Kamigawa sorta.
Next was the suite across the hall.I later learned that at least one person was still living there over the break, so I erased it, quite happily, actually.
It's kind of ugly. But it does Remind me of someBody I used to know...
Next a suite downstairs.Easter Eggs: Death Star, Millennium Falcon, TIE fighters, Star Destroyers, "my nightmare."
Fun Facts: Not really my nightmare, but I was scared of aliens for a long time.
Baa: I'm afraid of the dark.
And across the hall from yesterday for day four.Easter Eggs: An apple from either Paradise Lost or Death Note.
Fun Facts: They say Superman's the greatest!
Baa: But I disagree.
Entryway A sucked about using their whiteboards, even A21, who had a 4 color marker set hanging unused off their board! I found B to be the opposite: theirs were mostly already taken up.
Leaving my entryway, I found the emptiest B board I could, which had a guy on it already, so I just did some tweaks.Man, it's ugly. Kinda reminds me of Sam Waterston.
Easter Eggs: "Pablo was he" references a name I liked to introduce myself as Freshman Year.
Fun Facts: It's supposed to seem like someone defaced my tag.
Baa: I like introducing myself with fake names if I don't expect to ever be named/remembered afterward or if I don't think the other person really cares.
This was a fun one. It had a grid on it, so I turned it into a game of breakout.Entryway C was fun to draw in because it was still crawling with people, so I had to really dance around them in order to draw unnoticed.
I felt like a real little tagger, dodgin' the coppers and stuff, except I wasn't destroying a building for "art."
Fun Facts: Tagging where it's literally JUST a dude's name isn't art.
To close the week, I made some blue squiggles into a little sky scene.Fun Facts: I don't normally draw my clouds so bubbley.
Baa: I try to draw my clouds like Eiichiro Oda does.
Ok, so that was week one of my first Spring Break spent at home--Yale.
