Altered Silver

Here are a couple more spreads from my ongoing altered text project, Odyssey. The project continues to move right along; I have about 70 pages completed at this point.

« pages 164 & 165 »
The media for p. 164 is watercolor and colored pencil; for p. 165 they are gouache and Sharpie. Each page also had a gesso base layer.

The design of p. 165 was inspired by an old, syndicated episode of Frasier in which a painting could just be seen on a far wall of the main apartment. I only caught a quick glance of it, but it suggested a somewhat-cubist flower vase that seemed like a cool idea to include on a page.

He was a little absent-minded.
"You have been spoiled probably."
Increasingly I suspected he was splattered crazy.

Sorry.
No way.
Manic outrage didn't ruffle the truth.
