An eye test chart, presumably from a time when more people were illiterate.
My family and friends know me way too well. From my parents I received the Glee DVD box set for seasons 1 and 2, A Central Perk apron and a Super Mario chess set. The best friend got me this awesome Beatles poster, which I promptly bluetacked to my wall as you can see, as well as two packs of hair clips (I'm addicted to them, I can't stop buying them for myself haha) and the Rewiggled CD (which is basically heaps of awesome bands covering Wiggles songs). I am so, so thankful. Merry Christmas y'all :)
Original shot with my iPhone 4, then processed with the Percolator app to give it the "psychedelic circles" effect. The original image is below.

My girl has a lot more rouge on her cheeks than it shows thru the scan....Ah well, I'll have to figure the scanner out soon.
I liked the Clarity prompt from www.dblogala.com this time.
Of course, i will need to work on my drawing perspective (I guess that's what all this practice is about, huh?)
Anyways, thanks for looking

As Chinese doesn't have an alphabet, and reading small characters from a distance is not that easy, these symbols are used for eye tests. One just have to say up, down, left or right. So the top five would be up, left, down, up and right. How far down can you get?
Harry Truman wore "coke bottle" thick glasses from early childhood which made his eyes look huge. He volunteered for the army at age 32 in 1917. He memorized the eyechart because his severely defective vision would have prevented his enlistment. Before sailing to France, he was fitted to several pairs of both eyeglasses (pince-nez) and spectacles. Most of this time he wore a zyl rimmed fingerpiece pince-nez.
Truman earned the respect of the men under his command for his personal bravery under fire and his "no nonsence" leadership style he exhibited during his presidency.
To life, to life, l'chaim, I hear the echoes of Zero Mostel singing from Fiddler on the Roof, when I saw this chart of the Hebrew alphabet on a friend's wall. At first glance it looked like a typical eye examination chart, which was appropos, since the friend in question is an optometrist. ; )
Sometimes, you find yourself in an airport or a meeting and you realize what you need to make you feel better is right there on your Blackberry.

When I found these rusted metal E-shaped pieces half buried in the desert, I was immediately reminded of the "Tumbling E" eye charts:
All characters on the Tumbling E chart are capital letter "E’s" in different spatial orientations (rotated in increments of 90 degrees). I remember these as a child, using my hand (with my fingers extended) to show which direction the "fingers" of the E were pointing: right, left, up or down.
Found art assemblage. Made with found metal panel and found metal "E-shaped" pieces. Hand-painted acrylic numbers.

I have this light hanging up on my bedroom wall as a reading lamp. Being short sighted, I have a love-hate relationship with eyecharts, but I really do love this one.

I have no idea why I took a picture of an eye chart. I guess it was because it was 4 am with nothing else to do.
Movie posters. Popular quote "A martini shaken not stirred" from movie "James Bond" in eyechart style.
