At first I was just alluding to the lyrics by photos, drawings and collage. For instance, the train background with a woman laughing and then the definitions from a dictionary of laugh and cry were all I had on the "It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes A Train to Cry" card, but then added the lyrics.
I rather liked the more ephemeral reference to the songs rather than actually including the lyrics, but rules are rules after all.
I am not sure if they are completely done or if I am totally happy with them or if I will make more, but for now here is what I have:
As usual, I'd appreciate any input you have or any suggestions.
I am quite sad today as I am supposed to be leaving for Artiscape with several friends for three days of arty fun in Columbus, Ohio, but have had to cancel for a family emergency. I have emailed twice now to ask about any kind of refund, but have yet to get an answer. Sure hope my friends have a great time!
I've had my two mugs of coffee and a banana, spent a couple of hours in my art room working playing, and can not put off the treadmill any longer. The only question I have for myself is, "Shall I do 1/2 hour or go for it and do the entire hour?" The blister on my foot is almost healed and I am planning to put some moleskin inside my shoe at the point where the offense occurred to see if that will help.
I hope to see you tomorrow.

The ATC's are great! I especially like the galleon and boots one. Sorry you are having trouble getting your money back and take care with that blister.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had a clever Dylan quote to give you to tell you how much I like these, but I'm sooo bad at remembering lyrics. Suffice it to say that I think they're wonderful - they're clever, creative, well done, and interesting. I'm so sorry about your artiscape cancellation. I know how much you were looking forward to it. many hugs, nancy
ReplyDeleteI like them. The third one is my favorite. I'm not that familiar with Dylan lyrics, but I love it when people get their muse from music!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting indeed! I like the 3rd one the most too. I hope you'll have a good swap with these!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment on my demon kitten drawing. He's been more like double demonic stage these days. I guess after this it'd be lazy and dormant stage ^^
They are all wonderful, very creative, I really like mix of printed material and drawing.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a Dylan fan, so I'm actually glad you have to put lyrics on the cards. I like all three of them , but the train card is my fave from a layout standpoint.
ReplyDeleteVery creative atcs! Wonderful!
