amazing tapes

hand drawn, from life, onto my laptop, with a finger, not a mouse, as if i have a never ending supply of ink at the tip of my finger, do i prefer this or a pen, is it really important that i decide?

this was pen and it was cold and noisy and i felt awkward stopping to do it, concentrating on the space between buildings on a busy street

the side of a truck, cold again, almost stinging my legs against the metal bench, more awkward, timed to a minute so i dont try to make it right, much prefer that, 1 minute to get some lines and sort them out,

A Mercator map can never fully show the polar areas, since linear scale becomes infinitely high at the poles. Being a conformal projection, angles are preserved around all locations, however scale varies from place to place, distorting the size of geographical objects. In particular, areas closer to the poles are more affected, transmitting an image of the geometry of the planet which is more distorted the closer to the poles
