I’m currently the only TA assigned to permanetly work the print desk on Saturdays, so last night I did 5 pages. Here’s one:

This post doesn’t need a longer title.

When I get home I am adding “digital cat portrait artist” to my resume.

You might think I am joking.

Belatedly uploading the flier I made for the belated first SSND meeting!
