“Feel” Project Part 7: Colors, Making Cuts, Memes and Such
I started a slideshow on Google Slide and put some placeholder images and text for different layouts along with some notes and variations for designs and font choices. Can’t think of a good font. I may use my handwriting. BuzzFeed tells me it’s “stupid easy” to turn my own handwriting into a font. Calligraphr is…

“Feel” Project Part 6: Looking for Glimmers
Here’s a PDF of the project: FEEL (October 18, 2017 Version) I would consider this a very early stage. This period of time is about sifting for the gold, the right tone, the right words, the right feeling. I don’t know where the gold is in this but I’m getting some glimmers. How do I know when…

“Feel” Project Part 5: “You can’t make a mistake”
“You can’t make a mistake” It’s time to listen to more Alan Watts. Though I agree wholeheartedly with Nick Tait’s comment on this particular video: “Why do people always put music to his lectures? It gives this sense of false sentimentality that is out of context with the speech. As a musician I find it…

“Feel” Project Part 2: I’m Not Going to Pretend
I’m not going to pretend like I know what the hell I’m doing with this “feel” project. I’m not going to pretend like I know where it’s going. I am going to pretend that blogging about it matters and will affect the development in a meaningful way. Something that I want to resolve is the…

“Feel” Project Part 1: A New Project About “Feel”
I will be sharing progress and notes on this project as it develops, to get an authentic journal of what happens as it happens. This is like a behind-the-scenes look as I try to make this next project happen, even if it mutates into something else entirely. I have a general sense of where this might…

“…making sure you carry your necessary rectangles…”
“You step through a rectangle to leave the bedroom, step through another to wash (perhaps using a cuboid of soap), dry your skin and hair with a rectangle, and check out your reflection in the rectangle. Make your way to the kitchen and open up the rectangle that shields the cold things; perhaps open another…

Album Cover Art: Naïve Art/Doodle Edition
Naïve art, whether from an authentic or imitative informal style, ignores realistic perspective and is notable for its childlike simplicity and playfulness. Rules for Picking This List: Feature ten album covers Album or song from album must be saved on my Spotify account Album cover design must be illustrated Album cover design must evoke a…
