illustration friday: ancient

This week's theme is ancient. I don't have much time to put forth for this week's contribution...the flood gates are about to burst open with company, company and more company (all of the overnight variety). With that knowledge in the back of my head I began my brainstorming. The first thing that came to mind was a row of columns depicting each of the orders: ionic, doric, corinthian. I thought, "ugh, not today." Then I thought of obsolete computer hardware: the abacus, Commodore 64, 486. Again, I thought, "ugh." Finally, along those lines of old computer stuff, a vision of 5.25 inch floppies began dancing in my head. I thought, "aha! Simple and ancient too."
