Project Pitch Time

[toosuto]

So I need to play around with illustration styles and such so I can have a developed style to pitch to Art Directors. Here is where you come in: Maybe you'd like some sort of art and aren't too picky about when you actually get it. I think I'd like to try illustrating some poetry coupling the words with abstract or maybe not so abstract images. You get to pitch poems to me: if I pick your project pitch at the end of it you'll get print ready files for your own use (and then if anybody else wants prints etc. I will make them super available and affordable.

Hit me with watcha got!

Also: It's national poetry month: how tie-in-a-licious is that?

Chicxulub

After thirty million years
of late Cretaceous glory
thumbed and self-aware
we rose
from among our scaly
brethren beasts

A hundred thousand more
before
the speaking spark was lit
and we speared our thoughts
with sound

A handful of millennia
for us to write
our names
across the earth

A scant few centuries
to stare
with knowledge into night

A solitary month
to chart the comet's course

And dread our coming doom


* * *


From halfway round the globe
I saw the impact flash
reflected on the moon

A sudden dawn
to herald
coming darkness

And knew across the sea
a continent had died
in supersonic flame

The earth began to dance
and sway
a gentle glow suffused
the sky
from orbit molten glass
rained down
in iridescent glory

And as the waves bore up
as high as hills
to wipe us out of history

I stood beneath
their great green curl
beheld the death
of all I knew

And all that I could see
was beauty
