Design / Folio Archive / October
October, off the scanner.
I scanned on five afternoons in late October. A hundred and thirteen new pieces hang here: folios, panels, cutouts moved around a clear sheet, and pages from my scratchpads.
They hang here in scan order, as September's do on the folio shelf. Open one to see it whole and read the question it asks. A note you leave stays in this browser.
Some September pieces went back through the scanner and keep their place on the folio shelf. Movies are emotions came back with a card taped on, dated October 04, so it hangs here as well.
Thirty-five folios
Laminated sheets, painted and collaged. On several the wash has nearly closed over the lettering; look for what shows through.
In scan order, October 17 to 22. Open one and flip through.
Page parts mapped onto operators: header, rod, menu, frame, focal square, and the unary motions of a brand.
Boon, bane, bone, bonk, and honk: a water cycle that bonks, a boonhat, a headline in clown downtown, and a bonk announced.
boon.land, factshift, and Lore Land planned again, and a list of domains.
The working sheets: design, development, architecture; components and domains; a hiring floor; a late-night scene workshop.
Paint over earlier pages, a moon over a green hill among them. Look for what shows through.
