Prompt:<\/strong> Sam at Stanford

I started out wanting to do a Stanford graphic that had nothing to do with either Sam and John’s fight or Jessica’s murder.<\/p>\n

The lunar chart is there in deference to the moon imagery of the card, and because it could either have a totally legitimate academic purpose, or be helping Sam keep an eye out for werewolves.<\/p>\n

The Stanford postcard is just a little thing I threw in because I liked the dual meanings that the rest of the card had; you think of postcards as a cutesy thing to keep in touch with home when you’re on a trip, but this is just a blank piece of cardstock hanging on Sam’s wall.<\/p>\n

Finally, there’s Dean’s necklace tangled around Sam’s arm like a root or a vein. You can look at this as Sam the wallflower hanging on for dear life to a comforting reminder of home, or Sam the kid who wants to be normal but is inescapably bound by a life spent with his family. For my money, I think there’s a little bit of truth to both.<\/p>\n
