Rogue Chair

2010-06-19T15:19:00.001-04:00

"Despite the manner in which his parents met, and despite the fashion in which licorice-mustached, dollhouse enthused, gum wrapper-artist Milton Grayson Rogue was born, the gosling son had a loving upbringing. Without fuss, he made friends with everyone he encountered: bus drivers, neighbors’ kids, soccer referees, teachers, gardeners, cleaning ladies, waitresses, clerks, pediatricians, stray cats, and even the dentist. He was a good-natured Peter Pan tyke with more than enough dandelions smashed in his pockets and glitter in his hair to warm any frigid face." - J.J.

. and the chair in which Milton will now sit.

Different beats better.

Of course, that's what I keep telling myself.

POEM 5, by Kayla Bowen, is called "The Language of God":

"The noise falls: like color
onto a canvas;
the silence holds it up, unbroken."

This last version is the accumulation of my art marathoning until 5 AM this morning. I wanted to suggest sound in waves and as noise, color, and life. I'm seeking opportunities to push it further, or create a more interesting composition, and also, to apply some reverence in there that I feel the poem resonates.

Poem Four: Barnburner of a Fiddle Tune

2009-05-03T23:27:00.005-04:00

I skipped "Poem Three" for the time being due to the fact that I had no source materical for the illustration I wanted to achieve [and that would be a shot of a plain subway wall].

SO. Poem Four by Kayla is called "Lines", and the imagery is that of a clothesline and the transgression from wet to dry, stained to clean, worn down to lifting.

Here is the progression :

. . . bum, pretty happy with this last version. It's more grunged-up, the horizon line is angled to throw some more dimension in there, and there's more "sky noise".

2009-04-04T13:21:00.009-04:00

In my online web design class, for our first project, it was required to design six web page spreads for an music site, keeping a careful eye on rectilinear edges, color, graphic text, and table formation. Each of the five pages after the home page had to represent a musical artist, and all of the artists needed to be from completely different genres of the industry. The second step of the project will be implementing these in Dreamweaver, adding music files and rollovers. . . . which is fantastico, since I don't know diddly-squat about how to do any of that.
