i helped zoey with a school project by doing a little journeyman artistry. she’s working on a powerpoint that describes how the whole “century project” thing got started, and i drew some comicky icons to match. here they are, with (minimal) explanations.
some come from books.
the scarlet letter (1850):
moby dick (1851):
north and south (1855):
crime and punishment (1866):
to the lighthouse (1927):
hiroshima (for 1945):
and
nineteen eighty-four:
and a couple more come from pop culture.
star wars:
punk rock!
