coordinate brainstorming: Marquis de Lafayette

hi everyone!

my newest obsession is the musical Hamilton, if you haven't had a chance to check out the original Broadway cast recording or see any clips online, i really urge you to give it a shot! Hamilton brilliantly tells the story of Alexander Hamilton through modern beats and insane lyrics penned by Lin-Manuel Miranda, who also performs as Hamilton himself.

one of my favorites in the OBC is Daveed Diggs (pictured at right), who plays both the Marquis de Lafayette and Thomas Jefferson. in today's post, i will be taking inspiration from his Lafayette look into an ouji coordinate.
