okay maybe this: think of the larger and darker fonts as the spoken word and the lighter smaller font as a whisper... to be leaned into and listened to carefully... but not so carefully as to interrupt the flow... more like a susurrus.
a background music.

Your persistence is appreciated .

I got out of your writ pretty much what you described to Tulip, but I found myself unsure as to how to comment on it. To me what you were doing was obvious, but it seemed to be lacking something. Perhaps if the words were to be encased into a shape or multiple shapes, or even structures, then the words would have something greater to stand on, so to speak.

Know I'm trying to say?

I think you are referring to the way some dadaïst poets wrote their work.
The one I could find quickly is a Belgian poet, Paul van Ostaijen, who used typographic elements.
I even nicked one of his books from the library when I was still in highschool. LOL

It's impossible to translate, but you'll get the drift.



Try to find "Bezette stad". (Occupied city) Or "Music Hall". They both give you a good impression on what he did.

Not exactly. I was seeing the words literally typed into a recognizable shape that would have something to do with the words themselves. Like a writ about a person's inner moral struggles, and other goings on, might be typed or drawn into a profile view of a head that you cannot see when you're up close reading the words.

While the image of the river would be interesting, I think some real thought would have to go into how the words are are assembled into the image.

 

[Black Tulip]

I seem to remember a poem about water, fishes and such in the shape of a fish.

To create the image of a river the words have to resemble waves.

 

[voyeuresse]

thank you dark glasses - the whispered poem was written in the time it took to type it fast. putting the spoken word in took at least an hour... where it butted up against the murmurs was an accident of visual decisions. it was a doodle a sketch. so yes i agree it would be nice if the whole thing was thought out in future similar pieces. im taking some real time off of this all to process everyones input and decide what i want to do. i have decided not to quit writing tho.
thank you black tulip and halo n horns - the visual impact i was originally going for was mainly seeing the quote first then discovering the background music. i really enjoyed Paul van Ostaijen's varied typesetting in that image you attached.
all of you lol and i really was looking for runonedness i just havent learned how to control it. i realise i am a major neophyte so thank you for your kind and imformative input... i have something to think about now besides oh god they hated it so much they wouldnt couldnt even read it!

Okay you guys, life has been busy for me but I finally resumed work on the story, enjoy the new page and the knowledge that there are more coming up.

Here's page 31 but first a little background information.

In the Daria episode "The F word" Daria's english teacher Mr. O'Neill had assigned his class to pick something to do that they wouldn't have a chance at all of succeeding. He was inspired by the fact that it took Thomas Edison 81 tries to make a functioning lightbulb, he wanted his students go through this process of failing to teach them to grow determent to succeed.

Jane, Daria's best friend, figured that she was so unconventional that she took a shot of becoming conventional. One of the things she tried was an audition for the Cheerleader squad of Lawndale High School.

Jane as Cheerleader

But to get back on my story, Jane's shot at cheerleading got her the information about the sex shop mentioned in the last page.

* taking a deep breath *

I posted a story for Illustrated, see the link in my sig to the Halloween story.

Since our discussion about what is considered art or not, I was feeling a bit hesitant, but I would really like to know what proper artists think of my attempt.

Votes and comments are welcome too, of course. But I'm posting here to get feedback on the pictures.

I see what you were going for with them and they actually turned out pretty good. The first one has a wonderfully eerie feeling to it. Nice work.

Wow! Some very nice work on this very long thread.

I noticed someone had posted a common fetish item, womens high heeled shoes. While I am not into shoes, I do have a thing for feet. This piece is a hand drawn geometric pattern on a scan of my friend's feet. It was originally an orangish color from the scan, but seredipitously turned blue when converted to negative.

I was really into photography a couple of decades back. Had a dark room for black and white work.

Here is a composit foto that took some time in the darkroom. It is so easy to do such stuff with computers today, but this was done by hand with two different negatives and I like the composition of this final print.

Shale's Art

This is the stand-alone pic from a series that I did to illustrate one of my first erotic stories "Brenda's Erotica."

I used a foto as resource, but changed both people in this line drawing to resemble me and Brenda. It is a simple illustration, with colored pencil, but I particularly like it, due to personal reasons.

For the rest of the illustrations, go here:

Shale's Art

I guess to round out this little display of my artistic efforts, I should put one of my quirky cartoon ideas here.

This line drawing was made from a foto of the Space Shuttle being transported on the back of a Boeing Jumbo Jet. I was inspired by the double meaning of the newspaper headline, which I kept with my illustration: "The shuttle bolted to the top of a jumbo jet." using the action form of the word "bolted."

I like the others, but this one with the feet has some surprisingly useful elements to it. Nice work all around! Got more?

 

[Black Tulip]

Halo,

Thanks for the support.

Shale,

I like what you showed us.
The feet made me laugh, in a good way. I found it a very happy picture.

hello people,

it's been awhile i haven't been here in this forum but life had been a bit hectic. i know i promised to get more drawings done by the end of August, but unfortunately i've been doing and thinking about so many things lately that i haven't had the chance so so far i've only managed to draw 5 (plus some others of my works before that i never posted yet) since the last one i posted here. and to my astonishment, i found myself getting a bit bored with the comic-theme because now i realize that if one were to draw in a series-like fashion, as in a comic book series, it takes time to get to the damn point. Ha ha ha ha. and when you just want to get into some of the meat of your work, you're already worn out. anyway, this is not to say that i did not enjoy drawing them. i enjoyed them tremendously and i would've continued doing them if it were not for the fact that i also have a day job to worry about lol. so for now, i guess my drawings will be on the 'free' side of things, meaning that i'll just draw whatever catches my fancy on any particular day. so i guess that will be better for me for now. i still want to continue with my comic book series, but right now it might be impossible for me to do. unless i come accross $1 or $2 million or someone unsuspectedly gives me an inheritance of millions of dollars of money that i don't know about, and i can finally have a lot of free time on my hands, then absolutely i will go back to my comic book. right now, though, i think i'll work on drawings that suit my fancy first because this would be easier for me given my circumstances and would allow me to perfect my work because that will be the only think i'd worry about.

anyway, i may be posting a couple of my drawings in the coming days but then go off again for a period of time. nevertheless, your works are still sexy as hell and i enjoy having to check them out now that i've got my free time, no matter how brief it is. keep up doing excellent work and see you later friends.

hello Black Tulip. i hope you are doing fine. time has just really been lacking lately. i just wish i had more time to spend more time on drawing. i seriously do. i'd rather spend my day drawing and sharing my pleasure and passion. as it stands, i'm struggling to find time wherever i could. anyway, when i get the chance, i'll be more focused with my drawings and find the inspiration and motivation and imagination once again.

Thanks for the feedback Black Tulip. The accent on the circular patterns of the feet goes with one of my observations that round body parts are a turn on, whether breasts, pectorals, butts, balls, or toes lined up like so many berries along the foot.

The foot displayed is of a young man, Raul, whose toes I have licked on occasion. He had a cute foot, and the circles made a good pattern. My own foot, much larger and longer is differently proportioned so the circles don't mesh as well as they do with Raul. Here is the original of that idea, using my actual footprint.

HELP BLACK TULIP!!

Or anyone who knows Dutch.

In the '90s I wrote a lot of articles for nudist magazines in a column "Nude Attitude." One was very critical of National Geographic for not portraying naked white people the same as they did African and South American natives.

Over the years National Geographic not only showed the native bare breasts but also penis and scrotums on native men. My article was published in Nude & Natural in 1992 under the title "The Geographic Needs a Nude Attitude Adjustment" (with my photo parody of Natural Geographic on the cover).

My article noted that the editors of National Geographic were mostly white men and after mentioning that the magazine would show the scrotums of native men but never white men, I ended the article with a double entender "To put it in the vernacular understood by the board and trustees, isn't it time to show that white men have balls?"

Well, my article was picked up by Naturisme in Europe and translated to Dutch under the title "De National Geographic en de acceptatie van het lichaam." I have asked a couple of people who speak Dutch if that last line translated, making sense, and was the humor in its double meaning preserved, because I know translation can lose certain original humor. Of course the people I asked kind of blushed with their answer and I never found out how it translated. So, Black Tulip, maybe you won't blush and can interpret my punch line of the article.

Here is the last line of the Dutch translation: "Om maar eens te spreken in de taal van het bestuur van de Amerikaanse federatic en zijn medewerkers: wordt het niet eens tijd om te laten zien dat blanke mannen kloten hebben?"

Does "blanke mannen kloten hebben?" come out as a reference to the white men having the balls to show pictures of white mens' balls?

 

[Black Tulip]

Oh yes, that's definitely the correct translation.
If a man "heeft kloten" that has the same double meaning as having balls.

Only, the word "kloten" could be described as a four-letter word.
Not to be used in polite conversation. LOL

Ah yes! Explains my Dutch speaking acquaintances blushing.


Thank you Black Tulip.

We have to watch what we say in different languages. In America there is an expression "A bunch of hooey!" meaning something like a bunch of horseshit, but totally acceptable in polite conversation.

I discovered from one of my Russian co-workers after saying "a bunch of hooey," and her giving me this strange, shocked look that "hooey" in Russian is slang for cock (penis).

She gave me the strange look because she knew I had some leftover words in Russian from my days spying on the Soviets in the '60s (such as "Eb" pronounced yob) and she couldn't understand why I would just blurt out "a big cock" in the conversation we were having.

Oh, here is my requisite artwork so I don't get accused of hijacking this thread.
