Navigation Shorts
Description: India Navigation was an American record company and independent record label that specialized in avant-garde jazz in the 1970s and 1980s. It was founded by Bob Cummins, a corporate lawyer who helped jazz musicians with legal matters. Its catalogue included Arthur Blythe, Pharoah Sanders, Hamiet Bluiett, Chico Freeman, Cecil McBee, and the Revolutionary Ensemble. In addition to this, some recordings of minimal music, such as Arnold Dreyblatt, Phill Niblock and Joseph Celli, or Tom Johnson, also appeared.
Description: This fascinating design centers on the star-nosed mole, one of nature’s most extraordinary creatures, known for its highly specialized sensory organ. Its distinctive star-shaped nose, made up of sensitive tentacles, allows it to navigate complete darkness with unmatched precision. In this artwork, the mole becomes a symbol of perception beyond sight—an embodiment of adaptation in environments where vision fails. The intricate, radial design mirrors neural pathways and sensory mapping, emphasizing how the mole interprets the world through touch. Each branch-like extension suggests a network of information, transforming the creature into a living compass beneath the surface.
Description: A monochrome graphic displaying a compass rose with eight main points. The cardinal directions (N, E, S, W) are prominent. Intermediate directions like NW, NE, SE, SW are marked. The words 'intercardinal' and 'dinel'/'tedinnl' (likely misread of intercardinal) appear written along the circular path.
Description: Space compass hand-drawn illustration featuring a rocket ship as the compass needle pointing toward the stars.

Drawn pixel by pixel in MS Paint with wobbly tick marks and flat imperfect charm. Perfect for space explorers, adventurers, motivational quote lovers, and anyone still finding their orbit in the universe.
