As an exercise for UTK’s Typography Class, we were asked to gather our own content in order to practice laying out a book. At the time, I was so overwhelmed by the experiences of moving to Knoxville that I decided to write them down and use them as my content for the book. The content soon evolved into a series of mostly true short stories that reflected on what it meant to “grow up.” All chapter titles were spray painted, photographed, and edited on the computer. Illustrations and script were freehanded with pen, then scanned and edited on the computer.
