Graphic arts
One of our first little tasks.
'Draw an Ouroboros'
Naturally I decided to make mine out of sweet wrappers.
I swear my sketchbook is just full of litter!
I really like the idea of this symbol though.
I think it'd make a cool tattoo.
The Ouroboros (or Uroborus)[1] is an ancient symbol depicting a serpent or dragon eating its own tail. The name originates from within Greek language; οὐρά (oura) meaning "tail" and βόρος (boros) meaning "eating", thus "he who eats the tail".[2] The Ouroboros often represents self-reflexivity or cyclicality, especially in the sense of something constantly re-creating itself, the eternal return, and other things perceived as cycles that begin anew as soon as they end (the mythical phoenix has a similar symbolism)

Truth hidden in verse
I've just revisted a book I was reading a couple of summers ago. 'Catcher in the Rye' . Being the strange creature I am, I underlined random words/sentences as I went. Anything that grabbed my attention.Now looking back on the underlined bits I taken photographs and am going to attempt putting a few together. If you've read the book, you'll know the character Holden Caulfield as a somewhat troubled and discontent narrator.
