So, now I have an LJ image.
Awhile ago, I got some calligraphy pens. They were very nice calligraphy pens, with a good grip, a variety of nibs, and an annoying tendency to get clogged with paper fibers. I use them. Rarely, but I do.
Completely unrelated to these pens, I noticed one day (in class, actually, but that's neither here nor there) that I could merge my first and last initials into one symbol. This idea thrilled me. Soon after, I got out my sketchbook, flipped to the first empty page, and started playing with the concept using my pencils.
Shortly after this point, my mom suggested drawing the logo with my calligraphy pens. Awhile after that, I scanned the pages from my sketchbook. I had some idea at this point about posting all these images on my webpage, but then I realized how poor the drawings were. Anyway, it's just a sketchbook. Not everything in there is worth saving.
Anyway, today I opened some of these scanned pages in Photoshop, copied one scribble out of the four pages full of scribbles, and saved it as a 100 px by 100 px GIF. Then I uploaded it to my new Livejournal account here.
