The Liner

Thumbnails Detail 16 comments

The entire senior class of Hamline University, Saint Paul, Minnesota, 1925, each drawn in one hour a night--with a few days off--from November 17, 2004 to February 17, 2005.

Drawings are in pen and ink and watercolor, or colored pencil and watercolor, and are each about 2 1/2 by 3 inches.

Each picture description shows the various clubs that the students belonged to, what their majors were, and what they wrote in the yearbook.

Pictures courtesy the collection of Sybil Jones.

Any questions or comments are welcome; please e-mail me at interrobang [AT] gmail.

If you would like to be drawn in the style of the Liner, I charge around a hundred dollars per portrait, depending on the size.

If you would like to purchase a 16" x 20" poster of the Liner for $35.00, please e-mail me.

Please see also the followup to this project, A Year in Comics, and my polyoramas.
