Newest work from my students in Graphic Design II, a sophomore course at Virginia State University’s Art & Design program.

Pictured top: Snippets project. A 13-week project that was a typographic/image-driven response to anything overheard the week prior.

Pictured below: The Device Project. Students were asked to admit their greatest weakness and develop, make and wear a device that would protect them against it. Each poster shows the student wearing their device and details what their device does.

You that love lovers,
this is your home. Welcome!

In the midst of making form, love
made this form that melts form,
with love for the door,
soul the vestibule.

Watch the dust grains moving
in the light near the window.

Their dance is our dance.
We rarely hear the inward music,
but we’re dancing to it nevertheless,

Directed by the one who teaches us,
the pure joy of the sun,
our music master.

High School Fads, 1944

how conveniently coincidental that I wore a bow on the back of my head when I was in high school.

There are some stories that are a part of the very fabric of your being. For me, Chicken with Plums (Poulet aux prunes) is one of those stories. The trailer is released and I eagerly await the film by Marjane Satrapi (Persepolis) and Vincent Paronnaud.

It is a story of a man who plays music through his cherished sitar (in the film it is depicted as a violin). One day, in a fit of rage spurred on by an argument, his wife breaks his sitar to pieces. Demolished. The man travels far and wide looking for another instrument with the same angelic sound, but to no avail. It is at this point the man sees no reason to live and gives himself a week before he dies. The relationships of the man and his family come to light in those seven days…It is truly a beautiful story.
