A drawing

This is a museum label beside a picture. The drawing comes first, and everything about it comes after.

From top to bottom

  1. At the top, the site header: my name, which goes home, then links to Writing, Work, Signal, Tools and Resume, then Set for you, where you choose the drawings, theme and motion.
  2. A link back to all the illustrations.
  3. The drawing, large.
  4. Links to the previous and next drawing, and where this one falls among them. The left and right arrow keys go there too.
  5. The title of the piece the drawing belongs to, with a link to read it. On this page the heading comes after the drawing.
  6. What the drawing was meant to show, what was asked for, and its three colors.
  7. Why these three: how the colors were picked, with a color wheel and the steps.
  8. At the bottom, the footer: a note on how this site is built, links to Illustrations, Pens and Accessibility, this Describe this page button, then GitHub, LinkedIn and email.
