My interpretation of lesson 1 for the Awake Photoshop group.

AWAKE AND SING

by Clifford Odets was directed by Eric Thibodeaux-Thompson and performed April 5-7 & 11-13, 2013

 

Synopsis – from A Noise Within Study Guide: "The Berger family apartment in the Bronx houses three generations in the same working-class Jewish family. It is in this apartment that Bessie Berger, indomitable matriarch, oversees the lefist leanings of her father Jacob, and attempts to influence the romantic yearnings of her son (Ralph) and potential matches for her daughter (Hennie). When the seemingly inescapable poverty of the Great Depression forces Bessie to rent out a room in the apartment to petty bookie and World War I veteran Moe Axelrod, she encounters a new challenge as he positions himself as suitor to young Hennie. Hennie has her own ideas for love — ideas which, when pursued, lead to serious consequences.

Bessie attempts to protect her family from high hopes and fruitless idealism, grounding her perceptions of reality in the cold truth of struggle. However, the Berger family has a will of its own and does not always support Bessie’s iron-fisted policies, as those who seek to provide a sense of freedom and hope for Ralph and Hennie enact their own redemptive yet heartbreaking plans."

She was napping on the couch, when she opened her eyes, it could have gone either way, fortunately she smiled. The light is from the window next to her.

i added more booze for this one

It was one wet evening when I met this mackerel tabby in the lift lobby. I was at my friend's place for a Christmas dinner. A few hours later when I was about to leave, he was already fast asleep on a chair overlooking the entire lobby(typical cat behaviour) and so being the mischievous me I petted him awake. And trust me, he was one annoyed cat.

The first of a typography series I'm going to do.

I've never been able to draw very well, but I do enjoy doing this kind of stuff with lyrics from my favorite songs and such :)

Someone make a better version of this!

 

I don't know photoshop so I used MS paint to make this when I found out that Michael Britten is actually Lucius Malfoy!

Non-circular irises must be interesting.

Wake up ! Wake up ! The soldiers are coming. The band of Outlaws scrambled to get up and tried to thrown of their camel skin cloaks. facing them was a small grubby child holding an ancient short sword. Each outlaw realised they had been drugged in their sleep by the stranger from an unknown land. Quickly they reached for their weapons and disarmed the youngster standing before them. What was going to happen next ? You must believe me your'e all in great danger !

A beautiful and blinding morning

The world outside begins to breathe

See the clouds arriving without warning

I need you here to shelter me

 

And I know that only time will tell us how

To carry on without each other

 

So keep me awake to memorize you

Give me more time to feel this way

We can't stay like this forever

But I can have you next to me today

 

If I could make these moments endless

If I could stop the winds of change

If we just keep our eyes wide open

Then everything would stay the same

 

And I know that only time will tell me how

We'll carry on without each other

 

So keep me awake for every moment

Give us more time to be this way

We can't stay like this forever

But I can have you next to me today

 

We'll let tomorrow wait, you're here, right now, with me

All my fears just fall away, when you are all I see

 

We can't stay like this forever

But I have you here today

 

And I will remember

Oh, I will remember

Remember all the love we shared today .

"She wore a mask so often she mistook it for her face. The cool curvatures of plastic sinking into her cheekbones became her own form of comfort so much that the familiarity of another’s features soothed her to sleep. But in her slumber she refused to dream, for only nightmares came and in those dreams she saw herself, felt the bags underneath her eyes forming dark circles like shadows around the moon, her chest caving in at the idea she could not bear to face her realities in her fantasies, so she walked in an unconscious haze to the fields where she grew up as if to convince herself that she was on another timeline, a different dimension from the one she was living in. A limbo that could hold her in an abyss she could not wake from, and in this darkness she felt home for there were no reflections without light, and she slowly forgot about the lost girl within herself, her body rejected who she was in entirety. Entranced by oblivion she could not decipher if she was awake with her eyes closed or so deep in her conscious that it had collapsed in on her memory, distorting her perception on actuality itself. She wandered aimlessly through flowers and weeds, and like her mind they grew wild and feral, contorting and twisting like the strands of her sanity, branching off into delusions she could not contain, and so she remains there frozen in her own state of madness, waiting, waiting, and waiting to grab ahold onto a reality, any world, where she can be beautiful even without a mask, beautiful in her eyes, beautiful in her own mind."
