It was the last night of illustrator class. There was a quiz. I skipped to the last question, which is reproduced verbatim here:

8. Draw an pear and high light it using the gradient mesh tool.

I guess I still had Demuth on the brain from that show at the Whitney I saw last week. Sorry about that, Charlie. And tangential apologies to Billy Billy, too.

Looks like the official fruit of limeduck is in fact an pear. Go figure.

I’ve been doodling with Illustrator lately, and have been making some spurious maps and other odds and ends to sharpen my skills. Fortunately for you, dear readers, there’s only about 3 weeks left on my trial software.

This bogus transit-style map of places in my personal orbit is definitely derivative of the Boston system where it’s more or less located but I also owe gratitude and apology to the fine folks at the Strange Maps blog, who brought to my attention the Kabbalah system map and Mark Ovenden’s Transit Maps of the World book.
