feels like home

I can't remember if I mentioned that the Durham Neighborhood College project isn't just audio: one of the team members also offered to have his daughter draw cartoons to represent each person's responses. The idea is that we'll play the audio, and as each person speaks hold up the cartoon that represents them.

We had a bit of trouble coordinating over the past week, and since the project is due only a few days from now, I asked a cool girl I know to also do drawings as a backup. She took it really seriously -- she took notes while I was talking to her! -- and she started working on them last night.

Fortunately it was just a miscommunication with the person on our team, and we're going to have drawings from his daughter too. Personally I don't have a problem with using both. There's going to be five us standing there, we can have two people holding up the cartoons. And the two girls are different ages: the daughter is 7 and my friend is 12. That's a big jump in how kids experience art, and their interpretations are going to look fairly different. I think it would be worth showing both sets of cartoons. But I'll wait and see how the rest of the group feels. We're having a meeting tomorrow night to finalize things so I guess we'll decide then.

Here's the first of my friend's cartoons. I love it. It represents the person who said "Durham feels like home."
