Variation on a theme. The power of the rule of thirds and fourths on a 16:9 ratio.
I‘m working on a couple of deadlines ( or three) for another version of my Self-Storage Cities paper and related major presentation ( which involves writing a script and turning an academic paper into a story!). I am exploring new formats and taking layout and storytelling to the next level. The layout study above is for the visuals to accompany my narrative.
The second image is a collage-in-progress. It seems that everything in my life is in a permanent in-progress status but I guess it’s better than standing still.
Though some things move at a glacial pace, still they move, still they come to completion in their time. So yes, I rejoice.
Deadlines are a time where I get everything else done in all aspects, in this case carving half an hour for my art, organizing my office/art studio and finishing decluttering my place ( more on that when I can show off the remarkable before and after)
I like all my engine firing at once.
And I’ll make sure my fountain pen is never far away from now on.

Whilst the variety of possibilities you’ve illustrated here is fascinating, what is even more remarkable and wildly intriguing is that there appears to be another set on the preceding pages as well! Nice work Miti. A detailed study, indeed!

Simon! What a great eye for detail. I appreciated your acute observation. Of course I’m not surprised given your line of work. Indeed there were two more freehand trial of the layout series ( no rulers were utilized) before this one. I hope to show just how much creativity one can have within the grid.
Throughout all my academic responsibilities, I shall continue to snatch from the hands of Time a daily space for art and poetry and my Sketchbloom- even if it means just 15 minutes on the bus, and photography rather than collages, watercolor or sketches.
Blessings and good energy to you, always.
