Description Today
I will
speak in neon
while holding my skinny fists
like antennas to the heavens.

My fingerprints will delude me
But, it’s okay; I’ll be fine,
Because I am just a dot on a piece of paper
Hypnotized
By your(?) eyes.

You can’t attack me
Can’t attack me
Attack me
Me
For I am face
Less

But I am smiling
I am smiling when you
Hold me upside down.

And if the sky was full of water
I can jump UP and splash into it.

[anti – depressants are a bad idea,
what is bad,
is not here.]

Experimental / "coffee table" book.

I scanned in oooold paintings and sribbles from my artbooks in highschool for this. Lines from bands and other random places mixed together. Sorry the file's so big. I'm having several die cuts in this book, hopefully i won't fuck up while cutting.

Edit*

Okay so, media: Spraypaint, acrylic, watercolour, charcoal, collage + colour pencils + digital. The paintings i used for this were actually done in highschool, just 'digitialised' them for the book. Oh and photographs, i managed to blow up some without losing quality since my camera's a piece of crap.

Size is A6, i felt small would be a better fit for this, i don't know why, miiight be because it's cheaper to have more pages. Including the cover it is 48 pages, originally the plan was for 80 pages, but i am really short on time.

Anyway, i'm proud of this, and won't be tweaking anything at all, except maybe move that play button a liiitle to the right and fix some commas here and there. But yeah that's it.

Thanks to ^depthskins !

I just finished the package, and preparing the slide show for presentation for this tomorrow. Hopefully it'll go well.

Great job! This is stunning - both the poetry and the art hold up to eachother and are fantastic. I can't imagine one without the other. You certainly deserved the daily deviation.
