Art by Northwest (AxNW)

My good friend and dorm-neighbor, Ethan, enlisted me to help with filming this thing last spring. It was an intro for an upcoming skate video, but it ended up not making it in due to time-constraints. But, people should still be able to see it!

Also, my skateboard I made for him is “in it” at 0:25.

I want to read TFiOS…

But feel like I may not be able to handle it without being near my girlfriend / be able to function for classes during / afterward.

Cause I’m susceptible to feeling things.

But-but, It’s snowing this week—maybe I can build an igloo for us nerdfighters where we can escape the world and be all post-TFiOS with each other, and be in an awesome igloo at the same time.

A formula for teen relationships. 

A really nice explanation of Colin’s Theorem from my novel An Abundance of Katherines. The theorem really works (not because of anything I did but because it was created by noted mathematician and state representative Daniel Biss), and it’s surprisingly accurate, although of course imperfect.
One side note: The formula completely fails if you make the Dumper/Dumpee differential zero, which was a joke that Daniel and I put into the formula, our thought being that if you think hard enough, the dumper/dumpee differential is NEVER zero.

Even upside down I know where this is.Been in that tunnel so many times this quarter, looking for the subversive art.

Graffiti dump!

The last of what I’ve been hoarding, most of it is very recent.

The price of school politics. I would’ve preferred urban art. Maybe someone should chip it into art, like Vhils (aka Alexandre Farto).


Side of Humanities building.


Molded-people chilling by the steam installation on South Campus. They were plinking from the drops of rain, so I guess they enjoyed the buffer from the steam.


Basketball-Seattle stencil headed past Academic West and East.

My contribution: A sticker-back paper Sharpie’d and then cut with an exacto.

Lagging on graffiti

Been snapping photos as I see them, but then I lose the motivation to post them after my day of classes and homework. I’m cracking the whip and dumping stuff now.


Head crab on Eco building

The Irish Taoist wheatpasted on Chem Building


Wheat-paste-slathered Irish Poet against Miller Market. Above on this cardboard were the words, Would you read my book? (Probably, it looks interesting, especially after the ad):


Friendly, Nameless jellyfish on the Fairhaven side of the Tunnel.


New art by Leeves (sp?), who has also done the Cerebrus puppy, and a few other things around campus. (Fairhaven Tunnel)

Tree Art

I was walking on campus and noticed some hanging pieces on the trees by Old Main. Here is all the art I saw. (Really good stuff, too—art major, maybe?).

This is what I felt like at WWU during (the) Election Week(s). People’s faces and empty promises duct taped all over campus, and the maintenance crews painted over one of the most beautiful stencils on campus—a flower.

Class of 2011, most indebted in history
by Samantha Wohlfeil

“Students would have to work 47 hours per week, year-round, at Washington state minimum wage to pay for Western’s cost of attendance for three quarters,” said Iris Maute-Gibson, Associated Students legislative liaison. “In 1988, students would only have had to work 27 hours per week at their minimum wage to afford school.”
In 1968, students would have only needed to work seven hours per week, she said.

The Western Front,
May 17, 2011, page 3

Hopefully Wohlfeil quoted Maute-Gibson correctly, there seems to be a lot of Corrections run in the paper as of late.
