2D texts, on paper, gel pens

⏱️Overview

These are decorative texts, drawn on paper. I was using (up to) about 26 colorful gel pens and few regular ballpoint pens too. The text in above picture is Experience (my favorite one).

✍️Motivation

Back in technical high school I was very disappointed at the level of education there (mainly stuff from 1980). And also extremely bored, especially on history and Polish (literature) lessons 🥱.

After all, that stuff was already in the elementary school, and I thought I will get rid of those crappy non technical subjects.

So yeah, this was my sudden and creative outcome at the time, which (at least partially) fixed the boredom and made something cool with the time. I didn’t expect it would happen.

📖Education

Few off topic rants in own chapter here.
I never accepted the garbage I had to learn and did only bare minimum. There was no chemistry at all and history was for 4 (of 5) years? Now that was serious bullshit 😡. Religion was also at schools, when I started moving to atheism, I wrote about religions here. I’m pretty sure it’s just this government’s way of shoving patriotism and Christianity into people’s minds. They didn’t teach basic laws at all or anything useful either from non-technical subjects.

The CPU they were teaching was mainly crappy Z80 and 8086 (was in my 1st PC, 10 years ago), MCU was 8051. But fortunately we had some cool visits to college from high school, with practical lab exercises on hardware. Yeah mainly still Z80 and 8086 with peripheral devices (e.g. DMA controller), ugh. But there was some theory from 80386, and just one very cool ADSP2104 DSP lab exercise. I remember we borrowed some catalogs for it and ADSP 21065L. Those were heavy and cool to read/watch, we didn’t have internet back then. Sadly such DSP CPUs were out of reach for us to use anyway, so just an unreal fantasy to make own digital effects back then.

🔍Details

The words in pictures from gallery are as follows:

  • Cathedral, Catedral (t upside down), Experience, Revolution, Reality. The rest is easy to tell.

The green crystal hammer style is quite different and funny, normal one is the violet.
There is also the eye gem symbol, a simpler version from my later painting. I only drew 2D things.
