S is for Surly
I made this book about ten years ago. I got stuck on the N train one night on the way to a party in Brooklyn. I was bored and impatient sitting on the train, so I wrote down this alphabet. The funny thing is that in the end, I wasn't that late for the party.
I now regret my choice for the letter X (and not just because I spelled it wrong). Ten years ago I was still a purist, and was determined to have my x word actually start with the letter x. If I were making this today, I would use exasperated for X.
Needless to say, I will not be including this piece in my portfolio.
