A Tattered File Wrapped in Silk March 18, 2008

An excitement for the offering of life dressed with a brave face and a weak but questioning smile – overwhelming and fantastically beautiful. The highest platform now may be a neatly cut stack of FT’s but this purpose, intangible by the human angle, kneels gratefully at His Throne. Reliance may deceive them but it is only with Him. May our burdens benefit His Beloved. The elegantly cloaked prospect of the truest of human loves collapses to the left, clutching at her side, whilst the foreboding of nightmares cutting their way into reality gently strokes the back. One sleeve is clipped to the side of this red building as pages ruffle before the door and the ticking pulses through each sense. If my teeth fall white and heavy among the snakes, brightly coloured and fanned, they will be glistening, stunning in Glory.

    That sent a shiver down my spine.

  2. That’s intense. I saw your comment on Wajahat Ali’s blog, Goatmilk, and you mentioned working with a theatre company. I’m an Illustrator based in NYC and I’m expanding a portfolio of theatre posters, and am geared towards exposure across the pond.

    To that end, I hereby offer to you and your company 1 free theatre poster design. You can see samples of my work on Waj’s blog or on my website listed here. Lemme know.

    Cheers,

    I’ve read this a number of times and each time I’ve come so close to grasping its message, I lose the thread yet again. And yet, it’s so beautifully powerful :)
