Tattoo Idea

I want to get half of this on one fore arm and half on the other so alone, they look like single pieces, but when you put your arms together they are fighting.

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, is going to be my eBook!

So I picked 20,000 leagues to be my book. I'm pretty excited so hopefully it will turn out well. Here is some artwork I found from old nautical texts in woodcuts. More personal artwork to follow.

  

     

    

  

   

   

    

eBook Suggestions

I will be making an eBook of either 

The Book of Daniel

"The Book of Daniel (Hebrew: דניאל, meaning "God is my judge") is part of the Hebrew Bible. It belongs to the Ketuvim (Writings) in the Tanakh, but is grouped with the Prophets in the Greek versions and the Christian canons.

Daniel is made up of six court tales and four apocalyptic visions set in the time of the Babylonian captivity. The tales of chapters one to six contain colorful accounts of the hero and his three companions in the courts of Babylonian and Medo-Persian kings. They survive death threats, mortal trials, and court intrigue to be elevated to the highest positions in the land. Daniel interprets royal dreams and visions, foretelling both the individual punishment of the Babylonian monarchs and the overthrow of their empire. In the four visions of chapters seven to twelve, Daniel himself experiences strange revelations. These all culminate in frightening depictions of a powerful king who, like the Babylonian rulers of the court tales, attacks Israel, defiles the temple, and incurs divine judgment.

Though traditionally the book was believed to have been written by the Daniel figure of the court tales, today the scholarly consensus is that it is a product of Maccabean times. Though many evangelical commentators still defend a sixth century date, for mainstream scholarship the issue was settled over a century ago. The common view is that the court tales represent a stratum of older, traditional stories, while the visions and final redaction of the work date to the second century BCE. The visions describe the national crisis that occurred under Antiochus IV Epiphanes, a Seleucid king who polluted the temple, halted its services, and attempted to wipe out the Jewish religion."

Or I will be doing 

the Book of Revelation

"The Book of Revelation is the final book of the New Testament. The title came into usage from the first word of the book in Koine Greek: apokalupsis, meaning "unveiling" or "revelation" (the author himself not having provided a title). It is also known as the Book of the Revelation of Saint John the Divine or the Apocalypse of John, (both in reference to its author) or the Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ (in reference to its opening line) or simply Revelation, (often dubbed "Revelations" in contrast to the singular in the original Koine) or the Apocalypse. The word "apocalypse" is also used for other works of a similar nature in the literary genre of apocalyptic literature. Such literature is "marked by distinctive literary features, particularly prediction of future events and accounts of visionary experiences or journeys to heaven, often involving vivid symbolism." The Book of Revelation is the only apocalyptic document in the New Testament canon, though there are short apocalyptic passages in various places in the Gospels and the Epistles."

Kinetic Type Final Post

Here is my final video for our first project

Hopefully no revisions to follow!

The final update....

So I had to drill this past weekend with Uncle Sam. So I am woefully behind. But here is what I have been working on. I think I may have taken on a really big idea for this video, way too late in the game. Looks like I have a couple of sleepless nights ahead of me.

casualties of 'war'

But here is what I have so far for the video project.

I like the new direction. Here are some screen shots if the video doesn't load.

 

     

introduction work

My introduction so far.

This is another idea I had for the project. 

After going back into the book, and listening to the bass, 

I thought about how the book takes place in a various

bars, saloons, and parties as Jack travels across the country.

The beat culture was big on jazz, with double bass and pianos

played to the spoken word.

On The Road is a book that must be heard, not read.

So these photos below, are following this idea.

Kinetic type animation so far

Well this is what I got done last night...
