I have been, on occasion, accused of being juvenile because (at least in part) I love to draw on walls. Though, I understand the general relevance of the argument, I would like to point out, in my defense, that
- I generally keep my wall drawings within the space provided by the giant white board in our living room (which I believe is mine, but I’m not quite sure).
- My drawings are far more sophisticated than a five-year old’s: I use shapes, colors AND words.
- In addition to using the aforementioned, I also title the drawings, adding another level of general “coolness”.
- Wall drawings effectively communicate to the whole apartment, at once and at their leisure, what is on my mind.
- Wall drawings are the only remaining evidence we have that some cultures ever existed, thus I am helping to preserve a time-honored tradition while leaving potential messages for future generations.
