i helped zoey with a school project by doing a little journeyman artistry. she’s working on a powerpoint that describes how the whole “century project” thing got started, and i drew some comicky icons to match. here they are, with (minimal) explanations.
some come from books.
the scarlet letter (1850):

moby dick (1851):

north and south (1855):

crime and punishment (1866):

to the lighthouse (1927):

hiroshima (for 1945):

and
nineteen eighty-four:

and a couple more come from pop culture.
star wars:

punk rock!

now here’s a right-handed one, from new year’s eve. (what can i say: we had artsy fartsy holidays, this year.)
still blind, but this one is about 2-3 lines, instead of just a single one. (the glasses are zoey’s.)

the following few drawings you’ll see were done under the following constraints:
1) drawn with my left hand (i’m *strongly* right-handed),
2) using a single line (the pencil didn’t leave the paper), and
3) as “blind” as possible (i.e. i tried – maybe 80% successfully – to *not* look while i drew).
here’s one i drew on christmas eve – or what has come to be called “craftsmas.”
