Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

i've taken to writing in pencil
the friction is exhilarating
what you lose in fluidity
you gain in grit
i can feel my way through this
i can erase and reconsider
i can wobble it between my fingers
and create optical illusions
worthy of magicians and poets
and when they cry cursive
i can choose to be subversive
and lead a schoolboy's revolt

in memory of jean vigo

just so awesome! true grit, baby!

love this

thanks. vigo was pretty hip. died young. his two films zero in conduct and l'atalante are high test. l'atalante, i saw recently and it is incredibly poetic and unique.

i like these writes you are doing on themes. i'm going to give it try with some of my books. maybe the surreal stuff. hope you'll post more soon?

nice one...i remember hating penmanship in grade school, but got good at it later...

pencils rock always
