This morning I amused myself by going through some spiral notebooks of lecture notes. The above is from one of my favorite college courses, English History. The professor would tell stories, not drill names + dates. It was one of the first times history was really interesting to me. He had a fan club that would sit in the front row, lavishing complements, giggling at anything remotely humorous + I'll even bet that at least one of those ladies wrote "I love you" across their eyelids a la Indiana Jones.
My notes from this class are scattered with sketches of weapons + farm tools, but mostly weapons.

I hated history classes in high school, so it's hard to believe that I ended up getting a degree in history. The difference? I discovered social history, which was not about memorizing dates, leaders, etc., but about how people lived in different places and in different eras. I can understand why you liked this class with stories rather than facts.
BTW, cute illustrations!
Morning Star is such a cheerful weapon name.
your weapon notes/drawings are so awesome!
has the makings of an interesting print...perhaps a limited audience; one with strong stomachs. I think a tasteful image of the arrow in the eye could be quite compelling.
