Mobius

Moving is a good time to organize and prune the junk one has collected over the years. While doing so I found several old notebooks. I've scanned the contents of one of them. I wrote and drew in this one eight to ten years ago, while working as a security guard previous to my jobs in graphic design and print production. Among the contents were experimental systems of numeric notation, a keyboard arrangement for the phonetic alphabet, and a short and light narrative of the fantastic, complete with an encyclopedic excerpt and background introduction. I now present a sample of my younger self, unedited.
