Blessing in kind

Fellow prisoners
of the blessing:

We are no different
in kind

Only in degree.

jenni's signage ideas. also, she made comments on each of the "blue" designs. also included here are my feet.

MISSING-- HAVE YOU SEEN THIS PERSON??? goes by "killah", used to play blues, drink wild turkey, hang at label. don't let the flattering picture fool you--he's a truly sinister character (operates canada's only kitten smashing factory). if you see him, tell him there's a warm drum kit waiting at the label...

Bateau, by Denis Prieur 

round two of the planting show is soon to come... and may be visiting a gallery near you quite soon (TO? MTL?) 

ah yes... the countourists. when will these three meet again? in thunder lightning or in rain? when the hurlyburly's done? when the battle's lost and won? IT'S TIME FOR A COUNTOURISTS SHOW!!! (by the pricking at my thumbs, something countour this way comes) 

a blast from the past. note the penetrating, all seeing gaze--the lidless eye, wreathed in flame.  

If i die of vanity promise me promise me if they bury me someplace i don't wanna be/ you'll dig me up and transport me/ unceremoniously/ away from this swollen city breeze/ garbage trees/ whispers of disease acts of enormity/ lower me slowly and sadly and properly/ get ry cooder to sing my eulogy! -- gord downie ("at the hundredth meridian) 

So these are some shots I took from the alley of the Label, two different days and two different times of day. Camera 1, camera 2, camera1, camera 2. Sorry it ain't haystacks or cathedrals.

I Won't Be

As the shadows start to grow
for worries on a string
there will always
be a smile
it knows so well

the sun does
nothing but shine
the grains
and grams
that weigh
your soul

at noon
that is known
one more time
before I go

Living Seconds

Every
living
second
counts

They
are
all
filled

caressed
looking
for
the
summer

Your
eyes
should

for
the
meaning

And
we
will
go

of
every
living
second

We
were
looking
for
the
summer

Summer

Plucked
strings
high
comes
the
favourite

Look
as
we
do

for
the
scattered

dreams
of
summer

Label Sign Revised - 1.7

i would highly reccomend a black white and red color scheme. black and white because its an art gallery. red for canada and to attract attention. I HIGHLY RECCOMEND THIS. Other colors go out of style quickly.

New Label Sign Coloring Contest?

Hello fellow labellers, I put a little drawing together of the front of the building, with a few color combos. I know you're all photoshoppers, so feel free to give it a try with your own color suggestions. I find that whenever I work on a design like this the first thing I do is draw it as it is, so here it is! and now the fun part of color selection begins. Frosted glass is in, maybe for the color of the plastic? Hmmmm, bonne chance!
