Pictures of what Could Have Been by Jenny B. '25
drawings i made for blog posts that i didn't end up posting
I’ve been cleaning up my collection of drawings in Procreate, and I keep coming across drawings for blog posts that I decided not to publish. I thought it’d be fun to show some of these!
Better Call Tim???
Date: ??????
Premise: I don’t remember what the vision was. I think I was designing an ad for MIT?
Reason for discontinuation: Not sure, but MIT should pay to display this on one of the digital billboards at TD Garden.
“More suggestions for MIT merch”
Date: March/April 2024
Premise: I saw a notebook in the MIT Coop that said Th-I-N-K (Thorium, Iodine, Nitrogen, Potassium) on the cover. In my dismay, I decided to make a sequel to my “suggestions for MIT merch” post.
Reason for discontinuation: I drew a lot of sketches but only liked a few of the ideas, so I was too lazy to commit to the whole thing.
Crying Tim Fountain
The STATASEAT
A life-sized doll of Tim the Beaver, with a built-in AI that you can have conversations with!
I drew this with my left hand and I’m really proud of it MIT Coop please reach out to me PLEASEEEEEEE
“Job Openings for MIT Students! (because we can’t all be Iron Man)”
Date: September 2024
Premise: A list of (totally real!) jobs that are recommended for MIT students. Jobs included “Lab Ghost” and “Background MIT Student Who Witnesses How Freakishly Smart the Protagonist Is”.
Reason for discontinuation: I couldn’t come up with enough ideas.
Not a drawing, but wanted to include this
The Harvard x MIT fanfic that I gave an in-class presentation on
Date: February 29, 2024
Premise: I took a class where the first project was to take a story that we’ve already written and tell it in a different medium. I didn’t have any written stories that I was comfortable enough to share, except for this fan-comic that I made with some friends when we were incoming freshmen. It was a wholesome, non-sexual story about how the anthropomorphized characters of MIT and Harvard fall in love. I animated some of the important scenes with GIFs and then put them in a slideshow. The professor gave me an A.
Reason for discontinuation: My common sense kicked in before I made a post about it.
IAP drawings
Date: January 2024
Premise: I stayed home for this past IAP (Independent Activities Period) so I thought it would be fun to draw moments that I thought were funny or memorable.
Reason for discontinuation: I forgot
Notes app illustrations
Date: Somewhere in 2023
Premise: I drew some of the things I wrote in my Notes app.
Reason for discontinuation: A mystery that shall forever be shrouded in mystery
