Emil Ferris is one of those humans who you can just sense their utter brilliance. I literally think it's an amazing gift to share the same respiratory space with such an amazing human. I was thrilled to be able to speak to Emil after the Q and A following The Music Box Theater's documentary of Art Spiegelman entitled Disaster is My Muse (This should be available on PBS in the upcoming months according to the director)
I was telling Emil Ferris about this nonfiction book I was reading called Beyond Anxiety by Martha Beck, who speaks about how a creativity cycle can disrupt an anxiety cycle. I think many of us artists in this current political climate are feeling increasingly restless and hopeless. Channeling that into art is a good idea at this time.
In any case, this is a great film and Emil Ferris's My Favorite Thing is Monsters (Book 1 and 2) is absolutely phenomenal. Highly recommended!
In these current times, the monsters are humans who have been given absolute power to enforce their wills and desires on all. Every day is a new horror and destruction of human rights. Some will try to counter this by praying ceaselessly. Others, like myself, will continue to maximize their time on Earth by doing art every spare moment. It is perhaps the only way to cope with the madness of reality and maybe enough of us could create a new world out of the embers left.

Title: Is this Literature?
This week’s challenge was really a challenge. How do you make a nice photo of Literature?
So I was thinking of how to do that and finally I did get some ideas. One of them was to make a photo of glasses on a book, with books in the background. When I took the photo the ones with the glasses nearby and hardly any background seemed to be the best, I could even read the text through the glasses. While I did not have a text which was nice I decided to make a text myself and fold that into the book. What I did. But I was wondering if my own text was literature. So it is up to everyone to decide if my text is literature or not…………

for me, literature and photography walk hand-in hand... realized in Salman Rushdie's words: It is literature which for me opened the mysterious and decisive doors of imagination and understanding. To see the way others see. To think the way others think. And above all, to feel.

Part of the major project of my degree, a project that seeks to present important literary figures to a new audience, reinvigorating classic literature through good design.
