Richard,
...The 'Seahorse' piece was amazing. I think this must
of been a change for you, to work on something that
wasn't along a 'political ad' line or really even
a scene for that matter. It's very peaceful yet the
background is murky rather than bright and the
'mechanical wheels' are a great balance to the
structure of a SEAHORSE and yet quite contrary to
their being and... life. I think I'm gonna have a
lazer copy done as big as the machine can do and find
a poem or even a stanza somewhere in my head that
will correspond. After looking at the 'GAP' piece,
which is cool by the way, I wonder if you remember
commercials or ads by 'Benneton'. They're a clothes
and perfume company with a logo ← United Colors
by Benneton.
... As for poems I've been trying very hard to convert
dreams that I've jotted down to actual poems. It's
been very difficult.
Here's an example of one to deal with:
Sept 21st/96
A black spider jumped from a piece
of sliced meat. It was bouncing, then
attacking me. I caught it in my left
hand. It started to grow some kind of
skin coloured shell. It got under my skin
between index and thumb. It
changed each time I looked at it. It
became an elephant with the trunk
facing my wrist.
Well, I'll write again soon.
Happy Drawing,
Lisa
