All it takes is a blackout to realize how much we rely on electricity. What's your most memorable story from a power outage?

I lived for two months without power in a group living situation in a house in Metairie, Louisiana (right near New Orleans.) We used the fireplace for heat and went out collecting abandoned grocery store pallets to break up for wood. We used lanterns and candles and didn't get anything that needed refrigreation for food. I was offline which was the hardest part of it for me. I spent a lot of time reading or playing roleplaying games with housemates till I moved and got power again.

"Crating" objects that aren't boxes to use perspective to scale them diagram, Pitt Artist Pens on ProArt sketchbook paper.

I think my Perspective article is one of the longest, most illustrated ones I've done. I did a bunch of diagrams day before yesterday and then I went back to it today and while writing needed to do several more. It was fun.

More blather about fruit and whatever )
Enjoy!
