friends of new orleans II

This is a break from my usual lettering-heavy theme, and its simplicity might explain why I don't do it that often. My 'drawing' skills just aren't there. I much more prefer using symbols/lettering/doodles to represent something. The final was adhered to a weathered board I found down at the beach by my house, like so:

hung with mardis gras beads:

Edited to say: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the movie, was good but I was a little bit disappointed in the amount of time spent on the teeny-bop romance versus the adventure and suspense I expected from my experience reading this action-packed book. Definitely worth the missed sleep, but perhaps not the endless lines in tiny halls with no ventilation or air conditioning to speak of. >.< (The theatre had about a dozen screens sold out for the debut event, and there were people lined up since 6 pm. Apparently, my die-hard fandom, expressed by attending a midnight showing of a movie on a work-week, simply wasn't die-hard enough!)

midnight showing...

...here I come. I hope you're worth every minute of sleep deprivation, Harry Potter. But I suspect you will be, ho ho ho.

my nerd-like art

My sister-in-law wrote the beautiful poem pictured above, so for her birthday I drew it out for her and affixed it to the inside of an old, torn-off hard book-cover. I love the process of making up different lettering styles and combining them for a unique feel. And lucky me, my locally owned and operated book store allows me to comb through their selection of used books that they will be donating for old, broken hardbacks to recycle. Since I am a fanatic book-lover who can't stand the idea of cannibalizing a perfectly good old book, I have to hunt down already doomed ones for my pieces.

And, of course, the Harry Potter quote for a friend who is a huge fan--and slaves for accountants day in and day out.

Now to find the perfect one for my sister's birthday this week. All you Gemini babies are killing me; I'm wounded, here!
