CD Cover Design

This was for my digital imaging class, designed for a band that is kind of imaginary right now. Rae is planning to get an acoustic guitar. Then we'll be in business. I told her we should use it if we ever made an actual CD, and then, being the responsible and logical individual she is, she proceeded to tell me about copyright issues with appropriated images.

Well, whatever.

Humanity I Love You

Walking to class, I realize that I have never seen anything in my life. I stop for a moment, the colors whirling around me, and feel slightly dizzy. As I'm looking down, panting, trying to catch my breath, I realize that the gravel has the most beautiful ripples on it, like ocean waves from an airplane window. When I look up, I feel even more woozy.

Sun on bricks, on my face, warming it like a hot blush. Yellow paint like snake skin shedding off of an old building. A vine crawling up the side of a Subway. The dappled shadows that trees cast on the ground, crackling and flittering like mice and amoebas across the lined cement street. A guy walking by me, holding a joint with dreadlocks in his hair and no shoes on his feet. One cloud. The sky, oh, the sky, just like that time mama gave you a whole pad of construction paper and a crayon named "Periwinkle Blue."

For a whole minute, I merely sway in the breeze. The wind smooths my face. Tiny pink flowers.

It is in moments like this that I am reminded of a poem by e.e. cummings singing to me quietly in a low voice, like little dreams, "humanity i love you."
