toronadoes
got no business with tornadoes, but when lightning strikes… !
seems i like adding an “o” to “tor-o-nado” and an “e” to “light-e-ning” – something i’ve come to realize in all this.
sure, why not?
tail end
didn’t feel wrapped on the last two mixtapes – cause they weren’t… needed to put attention toward the tail end: track list design.
lettering reference from ‘Ideal’ tin
track list in ‘Avenir’
tips…
… and tail
it’s not that things are now made “final, final”, necessarily; but it helps identify decisions made.
sidenote: cat time reminded me of a time signature explainer i ran into. classic internet vibes – i dig.
couple album plays from the last few days. got into these between “heads down” sessions. it’s been a ride, enjoyed these pitstops.
Willow and Secret Sidewalk are both trying out some new things – cool to hear it.
‘lately I feel EVERYTHING’ - WILLOW (2021/Universal)
‘Sutro Sound Bath’ - Secret Sidewalk (2021/Primal Dap Sound)
gonna keep on creepin’ on with drawing and jamming and whatever else…
ok, bye bye!
Cat Time
happy of myself for making it through this.
‘Cat Time’ mixtape design iterations. ‘Ganache’ served as a base for the lettering – ‘Cheers’ vibes, for sure.
Kit Cat-ified, with a Simon twist – ba-da-bing!
better be on cat time, or f--k around and find out.
thanks Sam, for bringing this into our lexicon. and Simon, for your vigilance… !
removed a couple tracks from an earlier mixtape – felt more like self-sabotaging projections than my feelings. still really like the music, just not in that context.
“Silver” - Caribou, ‘Our Love’ (2014 / Merge/City Slang)
“F-ked Up Kid” - Kevin Drew, ‘Spirit If’ (2007/Arts & Crafts)
bedtime – gonna brush and floss.
thumbs up, for rock and roll!
ok, bye bye… !
coed dryer
the barcode label on one of the wooden drying racks gave up the ghost this afternoon. “coed”…huh?
went back to the source after deciding to hang on to the label – wanted to see if there were any others.
lucky me, there were two:
nice nice lettering.
i just like it.
4Runner traced sketch pieces. reached a threshold with graphite on trace – needed fixative.
layer by layer it goes: primary outlines, window and interior shading, decals, highlight identification… ? no idea what i’m doing, but i’m enjoying myself.
