Book Art

how do I make colouring book art?

I want to make my own colouring book art, but I don't know how to get those smooth even lines. Is there a filter in photoshop? Do I have to do it in a vector program like illustrator? (I find vector art awkward to make).

If you don't like vector programs, do extremely hi-res art in Photoshop, and make sure your lines are clean. You may have to touch them up, play with contrast, redraw them or othewise spend a bit of time to make sure they are perfect, but it's definitely doable.

World of Chaos Theory and Art in New Michael Dickel of Poetry and Art Collection

Michael Dickel's poetry defies easy characterization. The art in his new book, The world behind her, Chaos, including photography and digital art like poetry is moves between the lyrical and surreal. While his poems also have a political slant, the visual arts, seems less inclined to the mundane. With sound and pictures of the poems and the colors and textures of the photographs, both in poetry and art come together in the erotic. This book is not an art book, alone, and not a book of poetry, only. It is both art and poetry, the explosion of the page in the domain of the reader. No test or thorough examination may capture the tensions and complementarities of the work Dickel, which soon will be in Virginia? eBook Press.

This book of poetry, photography and digital art has its own world of chaos and order, while fractals not appear as part of the artwork, there is some sense of Chaos Theory here as long as the disease that is often behind the viewing screen of our lives, or just below the surface of our humanity / civilization. Although this book makes use of the computer, the words and images do not feel like something a computer layout of the book offers a unique juxtaposition of image and text that feels more like art than technology, despite the online format (I read the book in Adobe Acrobat pdf format, but will be released in Flash and Flash format projector).

Few books, either printed or e-books in stores few books, provide the experience of these poems, and this art offers. Michael Dickel begins this collection with the acute intake of breath as a source of inspiration in the form of a deer jump across his path. It ends, however, with the stormy sea to wash the cityscape, the collapse of history in the forms of the skyscrapers of passing the sand under the force of the waves. Yet somehow, poetry leaves us with a sense of hope, love, of human possibility in the spiritual realm. The last poem, in the form of a nightmare, is more of a warning of what happens if we ignore our better nature.

The launch of this book goes to support the theory that the press release free eBook publisher like WV? eBook releases, to make available books that otherwise would be too expensive for release. Color photographs, high quality, cost much to print. This book of poetry will be available for free, that is correct, is a free ebook. While it would well, no doubt, for Dickel to receive money for his book, has been chosen by the readers / viewers first.

Part of this art and poetry is a character Combined with the deep intellectual spirituality. A picture may seem a bit mysterious, and sometimes moving picture of something painted (El laberinto del 1-3). A landscape is mysterious, covered with several stations at once (in autumn). This is not a poem, one of the poems Dickel, trying to reach the cubist aesthetic, taking words from one part in a different order in the second, and the lines of the first part re-organized in the third. The first word of each line of the first section, with some modifications, are organized in order (from the line from beginning to end) to form the first line of the second section, then the words second form of the second line, and so on. The first line of the first stanza of the first section is the first line of the first stanza of the third section, but is followed by the first line of stanza next, and so on. Dickel, thus transmitting the Cubist sense of three dimensions on a flat paint. Michael Dickel use of shape derives from the aesthetic of painting and sculpture here as much as the conventional poetic.

However, the sound, image, rhythm, all play a role in his writing. As is done (with variations), at least one traditional form, the sestina. The sestina has six stanzas of six lines. The word at the end of each line is repeated in each stanza, but in a different order. Poem Dickel, the sestina, responds to Elizabeth Bishop's poem of the same name. And besides the usual pattern, place the six words of his sestina (or near words) in the center of their lines, rotating them in the same pattern.

This is not done, obviously, as to how this Cubist is not a poem, which is going through the words move in an almost mathematical (are these the fractal chaos theory?) as requiring attention by the reader to be noticed. The flow of the poems, the words of the sestina to make sense and not sound repetitious, because the change in the meaning of his dancing across the page. The same with the Cubist manner, while each section contains the same words (more or less), as the three dimensions of space, the reading of them do not obvious until a reader take the time to study the art behind the poem. There is a sense of abstraction, but also of consistency, language, sound, what it means. These poems, photographs and digital art accompanying them, are not revealed openly that is real art and innovative.

The rituals of the media review of poetry and art, painting rituals, rituals of writing poetry of all come to this, in my review of the world behind her, Chaos: Michael Dickel is a poet and artist worth paying attention to, it's worth noting, worth reading. His innovations challenge from a reader who wants to dive in, but his work also is a reader who wants to understand. And the cost of this book is right: free.
