#0016

Here are some pictures I scanned from schoolwork. Mostly Antebellum Writer doodles.

Kenji. But first, these two. Kenji in "fighter's high." I don't know the technical name.
Aha. His sister being a slut.

Practicing. Thoreau and Alcott. Thoreau would reguarly practice his lectures in front of Alcott, who would critique him best, he thought.
Boat buyer. Hawthorne and Thoreau. Thoreau offered his boat to Hawthorne after they sailed for a bit in it, and thinking it was just about the most amazing boat ever, he bought it. He didn't quite realize that it was Henry's skill that made the boat sail so well, however.
Ice Skating Invitation. Hawthorne and Thoreau, again. Hawthorne carved into Emerson's windows, so he was a bit careful around him for awhile.
Editing. Somewhat hard to read. Margaret Fuller and Thoreau had somewhat of an enemy-relationship. Fuller didn't like much of Thoreau's additions to The Dial, and refused to publish many of the ones he sent to her. There was a rumor, however, that went around that they were to get married. They didn't exactly enjoy that.
Campfire. One of the first doodles I did of Channing, before I had a reference. Here, they're about to accidentally burn down the forest.
Group. An old group square.
Ice Skating. Thoreau was artsy, Hawthorne was smooth, and Emerson was cautious.
Yelling. I don't know.
Self-publishing. Hard to read, again. Thoreau was none to pleased with the expenses coming with his self-publishing, especially given the fact that A Week didn't sell well.
Boat trip. Hawthorne and Thoreau again. In a boat.
House making. Emerson hired Alcott to build him a summer house, envious of Thoreau's Walden hut. He forgot the fact that Alcott was a bit spacey, however. The house was never lived in.

Your Thoreau (& co.) doodles are fabulous. Unless you mind I'd like to put some up on my LJ. Also, the friend who was startled by Thoreau's actual appearance was Daniel Ricketson.
