These short, quick illustrations were first used to help translate terms for English language learners I worked with in the year they were made. Over the years I have continued to rely upon the simple nature of the figures in illustrating other concepts.

In other words, this is my brand of stick figure. I use it for quick illustration of a concept or for personal play. They have been helpful on different levels.
