Had a meeting with a friend in Brighton yesterday. He’s an artist and a poet – he’s just about to publish a book of erotic poems. We chatted about a few things that I hadn’t thought about yet – particularly regarding the words I am going to use.
He reminded me that the opening line has to really draw people in. because there’s going to be quite a lot of text to read, peoples attention is bound to waver towards the end, so I need to keep the interest there for people to reach the end.
I told him about the web address’s I’ve been collecting. At first I had thought these would be two different ideas and it would be too complicated to put them together. We thought about maybe putting an address at the end for people to visit instead of a phone number. I thought it was a funny image of someone having to write all the way up their arm in order to write the address down. I then thought about whether people would actually try and visit the website – even if its just to check whether its real or not. I could make a web page of that address with additional material on it. But if I was to put effort into doing that, I would want to make it more likely for people to want to visit it – not just in the off-chance that they might – maybe having cards? Pens? I’m looking into setting up a webpage anyway because if I’m going to do that, I’m going to have to get it sorted before I start on the final drawing (because the website would have to be on it correctly).
I mentioned my idea of adding gold leafing to the image. He’d done this before and said that it was really fiddly but do-able. It would affect the choice of material I would use – canvas would be too bumpy, maybe some sort of hard wood.
After taking about how I am going to execute the final drawing, I decided that it might be best to get the final drawing screen printed onto the final material – this would give me more time with planning out the drawing – which is where the beauty and detail are going to come from.
This is the text so far. Some of it really is horrible, I think I do need to include some the nasty bits to make suitably conflicting with the aesthetic.
