To read or to relax
Just when most of the northern hemisphere starts its summer break, students in the Philippines go back to school. Our summer months are April and May, and the school year begins in June and ends in March. Which means that the Rizal Library of the Ateneo de Manila University is full of students again. Though whether they're inside to do research or outside hanging out at the water feature, is another question altogether.
Weatherford Texas

This picture was taken in 1939, and shows a group of men at a Farmer's Market. You can see that someone has brought a calf to sell. It looks small enough that it could be butchered at home. Also note that everyone in the picture is very trim.
Domestic Update:
OK, I think it is important that we understand the nomenclature, so for your viewing pleasure, I present my "grubbing hoe" below. You notice that one side has a flat, sharp head. This is used to get up things like prickly pear. Prickly Pear has a big heavy root, and you need to get the root up, you you have to use this end to grub down so you can pull the whole mess out.
Notice that the other end has a sharp point, or pick. The pick is used to pry rocks out of the ground. You hit the ground with it right next to the rock, and then pry the rock out. Notice the ground around the grubbing hoe does not have any prickly pear or big rocks. This is in the circle in front of our house. It was covered with cactus, lots of big rocks, algarita bushes, and tassajia. This summer I have been working to clear all this mess out from in front of the house. With the nice rains the last few days, the native buffalo and mesquite grass should come in quiet nicely, and make the circle look good. I don't plan on watering it, but as it rains, it will green up.
How to Tag Graffiti Alphabet Letters
Graffiti street art does not always have to be done outside. You can learn the alphabet by practicing your tag in the paper, adding slowly grow, and develop your own style. Many people start with a tag write my name in graffiti, but to fully develop your style, start by tagging alphabet.
Things You Need to prepare:
- Pencil
- Eraser (either vinyl or crushed)
- Mixing equipment
- Book sketcher
- Markers
Using sketchbooks and pencils, explore and take impressions style. Are Asian, Indian, Persian, or Arabic, thinking dynamically as you move smoothly. Think dramatic. Your tag is your signature, and only when you learn to sign a check, you should feel comfortable. Make sure that you can still read the alphabet.
Step 2:
Add the element tag by deleting the final letter. You can add an arrow to give a sense of direction. Add the developing world such as spinning or complementary to the structure of the letter. Symbols can be added to your alphabet as well.
Step 3:
Because the letters are so important, it is important to develop a pattern of letters. The best place for beginners is with the bubble letters. Use a circular motion which is different from the wrist to the paper. Letter overlapping but not connected.
Step 4:
After sufficient sketches, using strong lines to outline the letters with markers. Use dark colors to add a shadow, and third, to add a lighter color of light, like stars, or light sources. Because the letters are fat, you can add extra symbols or writing on the papers. Use lowercase letters to write, or symbols specific to you.
