The Pink Filmore Poster

I'd hoped I'd be getting a better resolution with my new camera. I'm not. Maybe it's just cameras in general that suck? Anyway, this is the second poster I've done, which I've taken from Bonnie MacLean's collection of concert posters for the Fillmore and made both daylight palatable and blacklight fluorescent.


I got smart this time, though, mixing fluorescent paint with other colors instead of using highlighter ink on the finished product. The result is that this poster is twice as large as the other, yet took considerably less time to make. Not only that, but the color's more even under a black light, and albeit subdued, worked into other shades of red used.


All in all, it turned out bolder than I expected - that magenta is a particularly unexpected shade - but I think it works and I'm far more pleased with this than with the other.

More should, hopefully, be coming soon. Possibly in blue.

Also, a question: How do these LABELS work? As a keyword search? On my blog, they're linked to whole separate categories so that I can separate my travel writing from my reviews. Can we just go nuts labeling our work?

The labels/tags are there to help going through post entries easier. When you click on a label, it will list all the blog posts that contain that label. You have to sort of think of labels that you know will be used more than once. For example, I always put my name in each post I write. I also put "art" if the post is related to a piece I'm doing. I wouldn't worry about it too much since I'll be going through and adding the necessary labels that are missing.

That's what I thought.
