There Are Songs That I Remember . . .
BEAN MADE THIS!!!!
Bean finally finished this fantastic, amazing and brilliant original art which is a tribute to her favorite band on the planet -- The Beatles. We spent the night last night converting this and kiddo's text into a Zine called "There are songs that I remember . . . " for her last assignment at the Summer Institute of Writing at the university.
My daughter blows my mind. She is such a talented artist, writer and musician. CLICK HERE and check out the larger version to see if you can find all the clues to Beatles lyrics. Bean designed and drew this entirely on her own --- the concept, the images, the colors, all of it. She ROCKS.
I'm sharing this because my daughter is a miracle. I have been knocked flat by the job loss situation, so I am holding onto every miraculous bit of my kiddo to know that I have to KEEP GOING, but these past few days when I wasn't doing what I absolutely had to do (work, helping kiddo with zine) or playing guitar or making Pen Noise, I have been lying around in a state of stress-induced catatonic exhaustion. However, tonight I feel some remnants of my personality returning.
Speaking of The Beatles, we saw HARD DAY'S NIGHT twice at The Loft when they were screening the new digital restoration. It is SUCH A FUN MOVIE. The first day we saw it was on my birthday, and I won the new Criterion edition in the raffle. Yay.
Here is my favorite number from HARD DAY'S NIGHT:
But I love the whole movie and will never get tired of watching it. Great film making. Great music. And those Beatles are so darn cute and fun!
Speaking of movies, I think I'll get up early tomorrow and catch up on some movie "short takes" to try to get my wheels running again. I have literally been a vegetable for days.
In the meanwhile, PLEASE check out the Bean Zine below the cut. I used my Fast and Hard Collage Technique to get this thing done in under two hours last night, using Bean's text, color Xerox of her artwork, and metallic and origami paper. We finished it by midnight and weren't up til dawn. I can wield a motherfuckin' glue stick.
