MISSION▪X SUMMARY Garrett Forthofer
Over the past eight weeks, I have done quite a bit. I’ve begun writing a short story that I plan to work on over the summer. It is about a group of guys who are passionate about cars. The big event that occurs is the introduction of autonomous cars (cars that drive themselves), along with a new law that prohibits the driving and owning of manual cars.
This forces the populus to drive autonomous cars: hence the name “Autonomous Anonymity.” The basic plot is the revolt started by this group against the government in favor of manual cars. After around 3000 words of that, I began to lose interest.
I ended up switching activities in order to remain productive. I began to do drawings along with writing that had meaning to me. I’ve been doing that ever since, as I found I enjoyed it. Mr. B. insisted that I do lettering in order to relate it to LA, and so I ended up coming up with little “sayings” to go along with the illustrations. The “sayings” are 100% mine. I did not find them on the internet or hear them anywhere. It is completely possible that it may be a famous saying, though I am unaware of such instances.
My inspiration for the drawings mostly originates in the negative thoughts of days passed. It ended up being a small form of venting some excess emotion. This does mean that most of the drawings have some sort of negative theme, though. I do have emotions other than negative ones, just not very many.
