Comma Commute
I moonlight doing legal copyediting for my friend Al. I usually do this work during my commute to and from my regular job at HAP. This page collects all the times I wrote “comma” on the last five or six briefs that I worked on. I’m never sure how many peaks and valleys I put on the double-M in comma when I write it out on the bumpy train.
Here’s a painting of the comma collection. Inkjet and watercolor on paper. Hi, Al!
