i had gotten really into digital illustration and spent basically all my time using a wacom drawing tablet as a teenager.
in all of these old self-portraits i always depict myself with a black jacket and some kind of red accessory.
what i love here is the lack of any attention to detail and the very distinct vibe this has that is present in a lot of amateur digital art from a decade ago.
i've grown quite a lot as an artist since this was drawn and it's fun to see how i viewed myself at a different point in time.

listen carefully when i tell you this.. you have the right of way in just about every situation. it is the car driver's responsibility to not hit people. now i'm not condoning jumping into traffic here. you should still make responsible decisions as a pedestrian.
BUT
you must feel empowered to exercise your right of way.
is a car trying to roll thru a stop sign while you're crossing and attempting to cut you off? keep walking. get in their way and make them slow down. look directly at them thru the windshield. mouth (or shout) the words "thank you" and smile at them without breaking eye contact and without breaking your stride. bonus points for slowing down your pace and making them wait even longer.
this is my daily retaliation against car-centric infrastructure. make them think, at least for one single moment, about their mistake and remind them that roads are for people before they are for cars. always.

frankly, arugula is just that girl and i use it all the time when i need to add leaves to my diet. also consider a nice arugula salad with parmesan, black pepper, olive oil, a white vinaigrette, and even sardines if you're feelin crazy ;)
