Push the Button

One stops to look up at the
blue sky
tall buildings
and traffic lights
make no indication
of which way it is to the next intersection

High frequency, density, fidelity, security
Sweeps through the crosses and the T's
Past the glass doors
Swivel chairs
Stainless steel
and strangers whose lives hang
In the balance between the parallels
(which somehow get tangled up
down the line)

a push of the button
reminds them that it is lunchtime
that greets them with
blasts of hot air
conversation
endless
locomotion
and four hours to go

Digital Art / Typography / Conceptual

This piece was inspired hugely by [link] and I loved how the wonderful clash of fonts and colours came together and made things look, well, good.

I wanted to try something irregular and awkward and out of my usual conformity to the grid. This was a refreshing work, and took longer than I expected. Much more than merely a slapdash, casual assembling of words on the canvas I thought it would be. Colours had to complement, and sometimes had to clash, typefaces had to work well with each other and the whole piece, alignments had to be fiddled with, the downward flow had to be kept. It was wonderful doing it and even more so completing it. It's not perfect - both the piece and the resolutions - but here it is and I hope you enjoy this one.

Edit Oh man, oh man, oh man. Wow, a DD, I mean, seriously? I am completely floored and at the same time totally ecstatic. Thanks so much to =vanessaglendagarcia and `Sander-Seto for suggesting and featuring this.
