DIgital Art = Digital Coyote

by The Hippy Coyote

Sometimes the goal of my painting was too look really computerized or psychedelic.

Now my goal is to draw with a computer and make it realistic.

Combining this with my poetry means I'm deciding on a poetry book that will challenge my artistry and advance my book editing skills.

My first CD, Level 1 = Peace Of Mind, by American Zen, includes 11 recited poems. On our American Zen Website, I made an online storybook for the album.

The stories are what I listed as "forewords" in the file names. The Lyrics and poetry are all there. It's kind of cool and I'm more in a hurry to start a 'new' poetry book than remake that one.

So, I need to decide on a poetry book.

I've got it!

I'll make my next poetry book, WINTER FLOWERS. That'll go well with our upcoming album, Level 3 = I Want You To Love Me.

Winter Flowers is a romantic poetry book. My first romantic poetry book. I've written many since.

This will be fun to revisit those old poems, remember the inspirations to the poems, and make a 'real book' that will will be printed on paper, or downloaded for printing on paper.

I'll build the poetry book in Quark, then send it to the printer as Quark files.

I'll also be able to create a PDF of the book that can be PRINTED INTO BOOK FORM from Amazon.com on a one-by-one basis. COOL!

I will lastly create a PDF that YOU CAN DOWNLOAD and then read it on any of your computers AND print it out into book form if you want. THIS IS THE COOLEST!

Coyote Album Covers

by The Hippy Coyote

Album covers are a unique artform. I started in gig flyers many years ago.

I learned the old-fashioned 'paste-up' skills on art boards.

 

So I understand marketing, advertising, and packaging. A difficult blend. I want to make posters and album covers that people will want to post on their bedroom walls.

The first album cover, for LEVEL 1 = Peace Of Mind by American Zen, was my first album cover project.

So, on my second album cover, LEVEL 2 = Christ Killer by American Zen, I had bigger goals. The above album cover is the FOLDED OUT CD cover. I just noticed, the above image doesn't have the "LEVEL 2" in the bottom right corner. Cool.

Anyway when you see the BACK of the Christ Killer CD, you'll see I worked hard to create the information, on top of the cool graphic, without obliterating the graphic behind/underneath.

Coyote Photography

I have several styles of photography:

• Black & White Photography: I've always enjoyed this and have hundreds of rolls of 35mm film.
• Movie Film Photography: Since I'm a UCLA cinematographer, I've been using movie film in my camera.
• Polaroid Photography: Used for special effects and messing with the emulsion.
• Colorized Photography: Using oil paints, I convert B&W photos printed on special painting paper.
