Okay.. For serious right meow.
If I could find a guy that was a typographer/graphic designer.. I would fall instantly in love. I mean.. just.. head over heels in love.
I know it probably wont happen.. but shit, a boy can dream can’t he?
Current project.
Blue Citrus
Relevant to my last post.
Inspired by the Neutral Milk Hotel song “In the Aeroplane Over the Sea”.
Today’s project.
Whelp…
That project is finished.
On to the next one!.
I am going to Calligraphy the second half of Hamlet’s Soliloquy. I did the first hald A while back. Now to finish it.
I need to apprentice.
I am really lagging on my calligraphy and kind of losing my touch.
I need a reason to do it. Someone to motivate me or something. I just don’t have any of that.
I have so many idea’s too.. Ho Hum.
A Clear Midnight
Walt Whitman
This is thy hour O Soul, thy free flight into the wordless,
Away from books, away from art, the day erased, the lesson done,
Thee fully forth emerging, silent, gazing, pondering the themes thou lovest best,
Night, sleep, death and the stars.

So, Here it is. I am happy with it, though there is still a lot of work to be done on it. and I mean A LOT!
I shaded the letters and reworked some letters.
There is still a bunch of wonkiness in the lines because I have been a little shaky lately.
I told @rehanadraws that I would post some pics of a project I am working on.
This is it so far.
I’m not using any basis for the letters, just what is in my imagination and what I think will look good. I am having serious trouble with the “D“‘s and the second “E” but I am pretty happy with everything else.
planning on re-calligraphing.
I am going to work on my “Death & I” poem.
I always find I need to be in a cheery mood to write about death and the such. it helps.
This work is rad. I want to go home and paint with a broom.
