So you all don’t all think I’ve just been sitting on my ass all
semester, here’s a link to a gallery with some of what I’ve been
working on.

And please be nice, I’m just learning.
The Linguistics Student Union, of which I am a part primarily for the
use of the common room, has a blackboard in the aforementioned common
room which is used for random bits of linguistics humour in lieu of
graffitti. Currently it contains design ideas for LSU t-shirts,
which only go to show what incredible dorks we are. Some of the
better ones include:
WWND (what would Noam (Chomsky) do) inside the stylized Christain fish.
Linguistics: serious affecting my ability to talk english good.
Pro-drop it like it’s hot!
I may be a cunning linguist, but don’t ask me about labial spreading!
And
most memorable piece of information in my English lecture this
afternoon: Charles Darwin married his cousin. How perfect is that?
Yes, this is the education I’m paying the big bucks for. Go figure.
So here’s what you do.
Go buy a nice set of pencil crayons. Not the cheap crap you got
for school in grade three, but the nice ones from the stationary/art
supply store.
Read the name of one. Sharpen it (use one of the good solid metal
hand sharpeners. Be careful not to go too sharp or the lead will
fall out.). While sharpening, free-associate with the name.
Just follow the chain of images. When it’s sharp, try and
transcribe the images, using that colour to write.
Rinse, repeat.
When you’re done, you’ll have a set of rainbow-coloured creative prompts.
I came out with the seed ideas of at least two poems, a short story and
a couple of drawings, and that’s without even delving into most of them.
Let your mind play.
