This is an illustration based on Russell Edson’s poem, “Erasing Amyloo”.

“A father with a huge eraser erases his daughter. When he finishes there’s only a red smudge on the wall.
His wife says, where is Amyloo?
She’s a mistake, I erased her.
What about all her lovely things? asks his wife.
I’ll erase them too.
All her pretty clothes? …
I’ll erase her closet, her dresser—shut up about Amyloo! Bring your head over here and I’ll erase Amyloo out of it.
The husband rubs his eraser on his wife’s forehead, and as she begins to forget she says, hummm, I wonder whatever happened to Amyloo? …
Never heard of her, says her husband.
And you, she says, who are you? You’re not Amyloo, are you? I don’t remember your being Amyloo. Are you my Amyloo, whom I don’t remember anymore? …
Of course not, Amyloo was a girl. Do I look like a girl?
… I don’t know, I don’t know what anything looks like anymore…”

Evil twins. Sonia “Pistol Star” Reed and Craig Reed.

These two are my new original characters for a comic. They are actually not lead characters; just extras in a couple of episodes. Sonia is a make-up artist and Craig is a hair stylist. Yes, fashion people.

The name Craig is named after my dearest friend, killapede. <3

Dowling Duncan and redesigning the American Dollar:

Why the size?
We have kept the width the same as the existing dollars. However we have changed the size of the note so that the one dollar is shorter and the 100 dollar is the longest. When stacked on top of each other it is easy to see how much money you have. It also makes it easier for the visually impaired to distinguish between notes.

Why a vertical format?
When we researched how notes are used we realized people tend to handle and deal with money vertically rather than horizontally. You tend to hold a wallet or purse vertically when searching for notes. The majority of people hand over notes vertically when making purchases. All machines accept notes vertically. Therefore a vertical note makes more sense.

Why different colors?
It’s one of the strongest ways graphically to distinguish one note from another.

Why these designs?
We wanted a concept behind the imagery so that the image directly relates to the value of each note. We also wanted the notes to be educational, not only for those living in America but visitors as well. Each note uses a black and white image depicting a particular aspect of American history and culture. They are then overprinted with informational graphics or a pattern relating to that particular image.

$1 – The first African American president
$5 – The five biggest native American tribes
$10 – The bill of rights, the first 10 amendments to the US Constitution
$20 – 20th Century America
$50 – The 50 States of America
$100 – The first 100 days of President Franklin Roosevelt. During this time he led the congress to pass more important legislations than most presidents pass in their entire term. This helped fight the economic crises at the time of the great depression. Ever since, every new president has been judged on how well they have done during the first 100 days of their term.

omg

immediately in favor of chucking the poo-stained green shit

Interesting. I would love a more colourful and size changed dollar. I mean, at least put SOME kind of physical indicator on the damn things! Also, colour. The Green is just, errrgh.

Interesting start to a design! Definitely like the sizes and colours. I wish they bled off the edge though. The white outline is bothering me to no end.

Ooh, I love the idea of money with facts about the country on it. It’s probably the only want some Americans would bother to learn.

This isn’t illustration or painting, so strictly is shouldn’t be on this blog. But it is design, which is another one of my loves, and it is also a great idea, which I love as much as anything else. Deserves a reblog.
