Description
TodayI 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.
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.

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.

This hits on a heart string. It makes me wanna dig out old pens and write poetry. Love it love it love it. The skinny fists part is a stunning image, really hits you. Makes me happy.
