Illustro is Latin and means "I brighten". It's the origin for the English words illuminate, lustre, illustrious and illustrate. In this blog I present examples of my digital art and collages, visual jokes and manipulated images. If “graffiti artist” wasn’t the contradiction in terms it so often is … 
These two haiku originally appeared in my Twitter stream. The first was written as a response to someone else's haiku; the second built on the first. They capture something of the quality of the winter season we have been enjoying recently. So does the illustration.
Written for the Artwiculate Twitter-based word game on 2nd Nov 2011 when the Word of the Day was Epidermis. Squamous means scaly, in case you were wondering  Illustration made 8th-9th November.
This picture was a contribution to the Artwiculate word game on Twitter today. The Word of the Day was crass and that took my mind back to a certain punk rock group from my youth. (Turns out they’re still going – sort of.) A fellow Artwiculator from Japan had also tweeted about the death of punk and the death of samurais … that was enough. (With a bit of luck, the Japanese actually reads “Crass punk samurai”!)
The last time my mother was able to visit me in Sweden she brought with her a negative that she’d found which she thought might be of my father. This is what it looked like. |
