My buddy Nic agreed to make me a book press out of some plywood I had, and in return asked only two postcards. Pretty sweet deal, right? Then I asked his preference of collage, drawing, or quote. He asked for quotes.
Gorramit.
I didn't have any good Nic quotes on deck, so I browsed Wikipedia's list of eponymous laws. He's sciencey and works in an office; there had to be something useful in there. Hofstadter's Law is as good a place to begin as any. I started with a sketch to see how well the text filled a postcard.
And then I took a stab at it.
Almost nothing about that worked out how I wanted it to, so I decided to have at it again switching from drawn guidelines (which I thought, incorrectly, I could blend out) to whitespace guidelines.
