Ink on Stationary • 3″x6″ • Free to a Good Home

I filled a rainy day at the beach by filling a tablet of beach-flavored stationary with face-filled doodles. Tell me one good reason why I should put them in an envelope and mail them to you and I’ll put them in an envelope an mail them to you.

It’s Orphan Week at toddmarrone.com. All of the images posted this week were designed for someone for something and ended up nowhere as nothing.

Based on Frank Lyman’s Think Trix system of educational reflection and inquiry, I designed these flashcards for teachers to print, cutout and distribute. After a short reading, lecture, presentation etc., students would shuffle the cards and take turns randomly choosing. Each card prompts the chooser to digest, assimilate and react to the information in a different way.

I sent the images to Mr. Lyman, assuming that he would applaud my efforts and invite me to dinner. He did not.

When UsedWigs Radio was a brand new podcast, I was given the task to brand it. Consequently, a ragtag band of powder-wigged monsters were born. I killed them soon after but one evolved into the beloved Wigbot of today.

Once upon a time, I was invited to design a poster for a San Francisco music festival. Later upon a time, someone else was.
