found images are interesting. drawn. painted. scratched. spray painted. etched. rubbed. scribbled. doodled. burned. carved. sometimes they’re conscious. sometimes sub-conscious. sometimes unconscious. they can be thoughtful or thoughtless. sensible or senseless. on tables. paper. walls. trees. bathroom doors. skin. most always they’re simple doodles that are done to pass the time because the person was bored or perhaps it was a way to help them concentrate. sometimes they’re meant to inform. to offend. to annoy. to inspire. to educate. to assert existence. or to insert resistance. they can be for play during work. they can be art or vandalism. they can be intricate or simple. they can be racist. sexist. whatever-ist. in fact, most of the time, they are.

being a teacher, i see many around the school. being an image maker, i’m constantly aware.

if you see some somewhere, share them with me and i will post them here.

here’s a few that i found in a classroom where i teach…

there’s something about that little triangle that i found interesting. why would somebody draw a triangle? was it a conscious thought?

ready 2 party.

that’s a beautiful eye. the detail and care given to the drawing during class says a lot. but what? i don’t know.

peace.

despite some crappy weather, this vacation was a pretty good one. it was my second winter break during my second year of teaching. i do have to say that i wasn’t expecting the two feet of snow in flagstaff…nor the rain in the desert outside of phoenix in the superstition mountains…nor the cold temps in vegas…it was just nice to be out of chicago. here are some images from the trip below…and here’s the link to my flickr site
