2 new posters from the 2-day typography posters class.
My teachers runs an design/animation studio called Anderson M that produces a lot of cool and edgy stuff and also music. I just realized that they made one of my all-time-favorite animations on youtube - A map comes to life.

Hey bubba,
Two things.
1) Will you teach me some tricks when you get back home to Richmond?
2) This is only if you need more fodder for inspiration, but.. I'm involved in a theatre group that is soon to become a theatre company, and all the members are extremely talented in a myriad of ways. And we've been trying to come up with a name. And we've been playing around with the idea of time.
More specifically, the Greeks' notion of time: 'chronos' is linear time as we know it to be, in terms of seconds, days, years. But they have another word for time called 'kairos', and this definition is so ripe and full of beauty. It means a moment of possibility that appears, when the person who is capable of grasping kairos must take action and do something by force. or the moment passes by.
"According to ancient Greeks, Kairos was the god of the “fleeting moment,” “a favorable opportunity opposing the fate of man.” Such a moment must be grasped (by the tuft of hair on the personified forehead of the fleeting opportunity); otherwise the moment is gone and can not be re-captured (personified by the back of head being bald)."
when i read that description of Kairos personified, i thought of you and your illustration skills. I can only imagine this man, with his bald head from behind, and his tuft of hair in front...and running past all the people...I don't know, I sort of immediately thought of you and what you could do with it..
Anyway. this is very long winded. But our theatre company will centre around the philosophy of always seeking 'kairos'. In fact, we're talking about names such as "in kairos theatre", or "church of the living moment", etc.
If you ever have the desire or inspiration to draw something to do with this concept, I'd love to see it. And show the colleagues.
Hope to see you sooooooooon Andrea!
Joann
