Spectacularly executed idea. I like the softness and the warm colours.

Ha, Lú! Though I don't usually write in the bathroom, this could easily be me during NaNoWriMo! :-)

LOLOL!!!! Good thing I didn't have anything in mouth when I clicked on this shot - I think I would have choked!! LOL. You just crack me up, Oliver.

Hey - more snow is in the forecast. I think you and the wife should come for a visit so we can make snow angels. ;-) Have a good evening. xo

I love this!
Made me think of the quote from Voltaire, too, who wrote to a critic, "Sir, I am sitting in the smallest room in the house. I have your letter before me. Soon it will be behind me."

It's all fantastic... the idea, the composition of objects, the light, the colour, the softness. I love it!

Luke H says:

I wish I would have thought about this in college, so when my english professor was walking around with my work, saying things like "Luke's thoughts on this matter, as presented in this paper, are not even fit to wipe my own ass with!"

I could have tossed in a smart remark!

LOVE it!

acshepard says:

Awesome job.
What does the paper have written on it? "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy"
Posted 31 months ago. ( permalink )

Olivander says:

Heh. I'd like to say that it's the first chapter of On the Road, but really it's just a bunch of squiggles that I made with a Sharpie.

Thanks, everyone!

Laurie: yes, soon.
E_Journeys: Ha! I love that Voltaire quote!
Luke: Not only was your English prof a jerk, his grammar was atrocious!

No job is finished until the paperwork is done! ;-)

Amazing image. Truly one impressive homage to the great Kerouac.
Loved the use of the Orton effect in the image.
Fav!

Olivander says:

Thanks! I think Jack would have approved. It's not Orton, though. Similar look, different technique.

Aleph Ozuas says:

I love it, but suspect that some Kerouac lovers could interpret that in a bad way :) toilet paper and literary value...
But, hey, I love Kerouac Too!
Posted 6 months ago. ( permalink )

Olivander says:

No, no subtle commentary on Kerouac's literary value here. I just thought it would be a fun picture.
Posted 6 months ago. ( permalink )

Aleph Ozuas says:

I know, was just kidding. And I thought your idea was brilliant. I see you also like Burroughs. I love Burroughs too and one day will buy a Clark Nova to add in my typewritter collection, hehe
