Distant Love
Although not visual, I've translated a Trinh Cong Son song.
Distant Love (Tình Xa)
What days and months have gone by whilst I've sat still
What love has gone away whilst I've remained here
Love after love has left me like little streams
O little streams, the promises were the rains
As my footsteps head home, late at night I survey the streets of
an abandoned city, as once, over an affair
How would you know that life is so sad
Sometimes I hear myself
Listening to bleak waves lap against a frozen life
To my soul: wind, sand, transient things drift back
Sometimes, on the roof of our love, I hear raindrops
Howling love, silent love
Sorrow howling after sorrow, beside the deep ravine
Tomorrow morning, what's there to see
Oh I'll still have my friends
What drink won't still burn, whilst I'm still intoxicated by you
Since the day our love became like a heavy-headed highland forest
O steadily falling sad sounds, I realise my life is already mossed over.
Trinh Cong Son

Koko Black Drawing Competition - Night of the Spirits
Finally, i'm done.
It's been a lot of hard but satisfying work. It's not perfect, but it's pretty close to the vision I wanted to create.

Koko Black Competition - Almost There
This is almost there. I'm not sure what to call it though - Festival of the Spirits? Night of the Spirits?

Koko Black competition - brainstorming
Dave threw the gauntlet down at me for this competition last month and having seen his mock up - i'm not sure i'm able to meet his challenge! His progress notes look fantastic and he's well on his way to realising his idea.
The brief has daunted me and i've spent weeks staring at and thinking about the giant burrow and what do i want to come out of it. In passing, i thought of a spiral that goes up as koko(black)pods and comes down as eggs, but it's rabbits that are coming out of the burrow for me.
