Hopscotch Tracks

When we were first asked to created an 8 pieced project based on our hopscotch experience I had trouble coming up with a theme. I thought about the numerical properties of the board and how I might be able to incorporate that in my project. I thought about points in time, ages, dates, important events, number of items in collections, and other things along those lines. That is when I thought about the tracks on a CD. Music has always been a huge influence in my life so I liked the ideas. I decided on the CD entitled Juturna by Circa Survive. Their music is very unique and creates many visual images with the lyrics. I decided to select a couple lyrics from each song and illustrate it. I tried to connect the pieces by using the same mediums in each piece. They all contain black permanent markers, a magazine clipping, blow pens, black pen, prisma markers, and one is done also with pencil. All of the magazine clippings are from the APMagazine (a well known alternative band magazine) in order to keep up the music theme of the set.


1. Holding Someone's Hair Back

"She's got the photos, but no recollection
He's got the motive, but no transportation"


2. Act Appalled

"Patience, both we and our words are over produced by influence
I'm only asking if you remember"


3. Wish Resign

"What brought you back to this place
I knew you'd never learn"


4. The Glorious Nosebleed

"Walk into the light
Giving into something you don't understand
This sort of thing gets you out of mind right before"


5. In Fear and Faith

"This heart is already frozen
I can't remember the fall
And if I last through the winter
I swear to you know, I wont call"


6. The Great Golden Baby

"Make your move
Obvious humor
Desperate and respiratory plight
Always Un-
Dress to impress
I'll be the last one to find out why"


7. Stop the Fucking Car

"Don't stop talking to me
I haven't been listening"


8. We're all Thieves

"I smile as it burns
Your face is light and cocaine white
One messages beating through
I've been erased
I've been erased from the picture"
