MARGINAL FIGURES
p.s. Please know I am fully aware of my artistic capabilities, or lack thereof. There’s a reason I usually stick to writing! 😛
Mandingueira 
I’ve been doing the same thing since 8th grade. Definitely a good way to pass the time during class, haha.
My Applied Mechanics notes were all full of Aú Malandros…
Haha you’re awesome guys…nice to know it’s not just me! 😛
Ezra Jennings suggests a Victorian Lit. class of some sort. If you wanted to combine Victorian fantasy with doodles I would recommend .
Opium, Gothic undercurrent, the proto-feminist “New woman” movement, the Yellow peril, fear of aerial bombardment, it’s all there.
Haha! Nice observation/deduction skills, Robin =P It was exactly a Victorian lit class…Victorian novels, to be exact. Thanks for the recommendation! I’ve only seen the movie, but I’m sure the book is much, much better.
Great stuff Jo! I haven’t yet drawn much as I don’t attend classes but I do write poetry. Sometimes I’ll write poetry about Capoeira and think of them as little “american ladainhas” if you will. I’m going to start learning Portuguese this year so I can translate them and actually use them in the roda! If I do take a class at a local school for Portuguese then you can bet your stars I’ll be doodling all the while!
LOL really, Pipoca?? XD Thanks…in that case you’d be super-impressed with my friend’s stuff, who is an actual artist (in addition to just being a bored student, like me) 😛
Wow, that’s awesome! Have you done songwriting or poetry outside of capoeira before? Looking forward to your first recording 😉
