I used to write and paint and stopped years ago because I stopped seeing the point. This is really making me want to start doing stuff again - extinct your imagery is just brilliant, the last poem lost quoted is totally first rate

extinct - i am still working on some illustrations. did some sketching today and had a mess about in photoshop. it occurred to me that if u want them for a book, then a black and white and line based sort of thing would look better than a colour and solid image?

what u think about that? if u dont know what i mean i will show you some images from a book of poetry by Con McCloskey, which are pen and ink and very good. i might just put them up anyway...

the poem that went with this image:

my weird little 2 minute friend

standing at the bar with a

full pint of lager

dabbing away dots of froth to create

a very convincing opera-singing

female monster

thing, with

flailing arms an open mouth a heaving bosom and 2 little eyes

wailing

out of my drink

before i finally get bored of watching

it sing

and wash it

away

forever

violeta is 23

violeta is extremely beautiful

violeta studies philosophy

violeta works in a hotel

violeta has the body of a gymnast

violeta likes the mountains up north

violeta is all romanian

violeta drinks pints of lager

violeta is a little crazy

violeta is positive about life

violeta is exciting to watch

violeta wants to go to london

violeta lives with her family

violeta has had a bad day

violeta will be at work later on

and i'll be on a plane back to london

and now i've been back a week

and can't get her out of my mind

hey,

I like the idea of black and white. But as the poem in itsself holds a lot of contrasts as such im not sure how that would work?

Any way to be black and white with one other colour?

i guess its down to the printers - most poetry books are black and white exclusively inside except for the cover. yeah its possible to have a colour.

well let me know anyway! plus is there a time limit for this project?

hugs

Wow lost! You have some definite talent there! And you too extinct. And verbena, I think you are right. We should all make a bpd book on our artistries. That would be so cool. I'm up for it. :)
