Work in Progress

So as not to deny our one regular reader, I have decided to post about some unfinished work.

These pieces were created by Gorjus, Jayrah and myself. I did the boring technical stuff, while Jayrah and Gorjus focused on the creative aspects, with all guitar chord info coming from Gorjus. If you know anything about playing guitar you probably have already noticed that the hand positioning is not technically correct. However, if you know way too much about old blues players you may have noticed that one of the hand positions is the same as the hand position Robert Johnson had when he was photographed (sadly his portrait was only made twice). The other hand positions are also intended to be derivative of self-taught blues chords.

One of these pieces will be enlarged considerably, printed on water color paper, and then given to Gorjus to embellish. If you are familiar with Gorjus’s non-polaroid work you probably already have a good idea in mind of what to expect, and if not think stamps, stickers, ink, attaching found objects, etc. I am eagerly anticipating the final outcome.

    Woo Hoo! I knew I’d go down in history as something, and now I know that it’s because I’m the “one regular reader” of this website!

    Collaborations are exciting. I think that you are very creative within the technical stuff, you know.

    Thanks for posting!
