We were given a random book to which we had to respond creatively. I got Cliff: A Celebration, which was photographic documentation of one of his tours. Cliff has performed and recorded on and off with [his] backing band, The Shadows.

The 12 words are done!

I would like to have used the upper case K and J, but GALAXY used three letters which I hadn't used so it was more economical in the end. I'm still not convinced about the D, but it's not quite a backwards Q!

Book

2010-02-09T21:19:00.004Z

[copying this over from my Graphics blog ] This is the result of the book binding brief, we had to produce a book based on three words (Site, Body, Object) picked at random, and using a limited colour range - I chose brown, green and yellow:

Hospitals

Apes

Sweets

[I love bookbinding.]

Final few pages from the concertina book -

Loading Mercury With a Pitchfork - Richard brautigan
Loading mercury with a pitchfork
your truck is almost full. The neighbors
take a certain pride in you. They
stand around watching.

Karma Repair Kit: Items 1-4 - Richard Brautigan
1. Get enough food to eat,
and eat it.
2. Find a place to sleep where it is quiet,
and sleep there.
3. Reduce intellectual and emotional noise
until you arrive at the silence of yourself,
and listen to it.
4.

And here's the whole book -

I might do a couple more but I have a bunch of other stuff to do before term starts again.

AS Level results came out on Thursday - 3 As and a B!

Monoprinting = a pile of poo!

Extract from Crow Maiden - Richard Brautigan
After you have learned all their secrets
and think the way they do
and your love caresses their feathers
like the walls of a midnight clock,
they will fly away and take you with them.

And you will go where crows go

And you will know what the crows know.

EARLY SPRING MUD PUDDLE

THE CURVE OF FORGOTTEN THINGS - Richard Brautigan

Things slowly curve out of sight
Until they are gone. Afterwards
Only the curve
Remains.

I'm not normally one for poetry, but some of these are beautiful -

This is my final piece for the 8 hour AS art exam. A portrait of Leo's brother, Bertie -

And this is the summer project. We have concertina books and have to illustrate beat poetry. We have to find interesting ways of incorporating the text into the illustrations.
This is how it's looking so far -

The first one -

Color as Beginning - Richard Brautigan
Forget love
I want to die
in your yellow hair

And the second -

We meet. We try. Nothing happens, but - Richard Brautigan

We meet. We try. Nothing happens,
but afterwards we are always embarrassed
when we see each other. We look away.
