Description ...by the pirates of the new age
alien casinos
well maybe its just time to say
things can go bad
and make you want to run away
but as we grow older
the troubles just seems to stay

future complications
in the strings between the cans
but no prints can come from fingers
if machines become our hands
and then our feet become the wheels
and then the wheels become the cars
and then the rigs begin to drill
until the drilling goes too far

things can go bad
and make you want to run away
but as we grow older
the horizon begins to fade
fade away

thingamajigsaw puzzled
anger don't you step too close
because people are lonely and only
animals with fancy shoes
hallelujah zig zag nothing
misery it's on the loose
because people are lonely and only
animals with too many tools
that can build all the junk that we sell
sometimes it makes you want to yell

things can go bad
and make you want to run away
but as we grow older
the horizon begins to fade away
fade, fade, fade
- Jack Johnson

This is a response to the exam question 'explore the relationship between imagination and reality' and it shows how music takes me away from reality to the world of imagination. I have taken bits of this song and drawn them as I imagine them to be when I listen to it..

sis [2005-05-19 00:03:31 +0000 UTC]

this is a presketch? (was wondering because you said you were going to do it larger). If so are you using diffrent paper and ink? (ink can really make a big diffrence in how everything flows).
I'd tighten the pattern up a bit and don't be afraid to toss in more details in the pattern area, sometimes less can feel more crowded then more. Looks really cool

mango-tree In reply to sis [2005-05-19 14:31:23 +0000 UTC]

Yeh thats a presketch, I did my exam today yeh I did it i indian ink onto A2 paper (but it didnt fill the whole sheet) I wanted to put more pattern in but the exam was only 8 hours so I didn't have the time. I'm glad you think its cool! Abd thanks a lot for the advice I really appreciate it
