Alchimie du Verbe

(…)

J'inventai la couleur des voyelles ! - A noir, E blanc, I rouge, O bleu, U vert. - Je réglai la forme et le mouvement de chaque consonne, et, avec des rythmes instinctifs, je me flattai d'inventer un verbe poétique accessible, un jour ou l'autre, à tous les sens. Je réservais la traduction.

Ce fut d'abord une étude. J'écrivais des silences, des nuits, je notais l'inexprimable. Je fixais des vertiges.

I invented colors for the vowels! - A black, E white, I red, O blue, U green. - I made rules for the form and movement of every consonant, and I boasted of inventing, with rhythms from within me, a kind of poetry that all the senses, sooner or later, would recognize. And I alone would be its translator.

’90s Teenagers in Their Bedrooms, Adrienne Salinger 

In 1995, artist Adrienne Salinger wanted to depict the authentic lives of young people in ‘90s America — a contrast to the perfect Beverly Hills 90210 types portrayed in the media. She photographed teens in the most intimate space of all: their bedrooms.

‘Dope’, Rick Famuyiwa (2015)

 like i get it dude its really badly drawn and yes its worth making fun of but do you know how much of a capable artist bengus is? 

go ahead, say what you want about this dude right now, but like to think you’re supposed to draw a myriad of artwork in such a short time frame you gotta understand that whats gonna come out is not the best. It takes time to draw and if you’re just one dude doing all this? put yourselves into their shoes dude.

Like have you ever been an artist but had to draw so much for school? you can’t really work on so many stuff with such love care and affection such as single stand-alone illustrations.Plus the fact that this one dude has to color them all.

This isn’t fucking misogyny, this isn’t even Bengus doing what he wants to do, this is Bengus being given no time to draw dozens of scenes, some of which happen to involve Laura, a character who actually is busty.
