Marilyn Monroe died in August 1962. In the following four months, Warhol made more than twenty silkscreen paintings of her, all based on the same publicity photographfrom the 1953 film Niagara. Warhol found in Monroe a fusion of two of his consistent themes: death and the cult of celebrity. By repeating the image, he evokes her ubiquitous presence in the media. The contrast of vivid colour with black and white, and the effect of fading in the right panel are suggestive of the star’s mortality.

ProjectTwo 2 - PoemResearch
By: Tadeusz Rozewicz
My little son enters
the room and says
'you are a vulture
I am a mouse'
I put away my book
wings and claws
grow out of me
their ominous shadows
race on the walls
I am a vulture
he is a mouse
'you are a wolf
I am a goat'
I walked around the table
and am a wolf
windowpanes gleam
like fangs
in the dark
while he runs to his mother
safe
his head hidden in the warmth of her dress
Second Poem
Name of Poem: Proofs
Death will not correct
a single line of verse
she is no proof-reader
she is no sympathetic
lady editor
a bad metaphor is immortal
a shoddy poet who has died
is a shoddy dead poet
a bore bores after death
a fool keeps up his foolish chatter
from beyond the grave
Third Poem
Name of Poem The Survivor
forth Poem
They mutilate they torment each other
with silences with words
as if they had another
life to live
they do so
as if they had forgotten
that their bodies
are inclined to death
that the insides of men
easily break down
ruthless with each other
they are weaker
than plants and animals
they can be killed by a word
by a smile by a look
I am twenty-four
led to slaughter
I survived.The following are empty synonyms:
man and beast
love and hate
friend and foe
darkness and light.The way of killing men and beasts is the same
I've seen it:
truckfuls of chopped-up men
who will not be saved.Ideas are mere words:
virtue and crime
truth and lies
beauty and ugliness
courage and cowardice.Virtue and crime weigh the same
I've seen it:
in a man who was both
criminal and virtuous.I seek a teacher and a master
may he restore my sight hearing and speech
may he again name objects and ideas
may he separate darkness from light.I am twenty-four
led to slaughter
I survived.

ProjectTwo - Artist Research 8
Here we have a picture oh a man who is stood on his own looking cold, the reason why I think that hes cold is because they way he is stood is scrunched up, there is mist coming from his mouth like when its a cold night and you can see your breath. I like the way the the man has been drawn especially the shadows in the face. To create this I think the artist used acrylic paints

Here we got a illustration of a sort of island that looks like its floating in space on the land there is 3 people on it, two of the people are together and are dancing on the left, and of right of it there is a person stood on there own, to me this looks reminds me a an out cast or someone who don’t fit in. In the middle of the land there is a tree. Hanging from the island there is a moon heart, star and other items that look like they are hanging from a sting. In the back ground the there is clouds, rainbows and hearts. With this illustration I like the way they island is floating and how is silhouetted.

Here we got a a drawing of a girl standing in front of a sunset and parts of her arm and face is braking away. I really like the idea of the shards of the body braking away like glass brakes. And things it something interesting to look at. I think this is relevant to my project because I maybe could use this idea do parts braking away to committee some sorts of meaning. The illustration is by Sam Weber, he was born in alaska and grew up in Deer River Ontario, Canda. He studied at College of Art and Design in Calary. After this he moved New york to extend his hobby of illustration and attend graduate school at The School of Visual Arts. Now hes got a Studio in Brooklyn, New York

ProjectTwo - Artist Research 3
Here we have an image of a surreal ghost looking dears running through I forest, the image has a boarder going to around it and it looks like its the same sort of boarder you get when your processing film photography. I would say the image is trying to express this idea of dark forests alot of surreal things happen with animals. I like the way the trees look very realistic and then the deers look very dream and sketchy. I think I could invole this idea into my work some how

This image show a forst with a person sitting on a swing. From the the person blood is dripping from them. The ground in the frost is plain white rather then being the normal brown of green. In the top right cover there is a abstact bird that’s standing a twig. To me this image makes me think of being in some ones thoughts maybe even the girl on the swings thoughts, the reason why I think this is because of the empty white space makes me think of being in some ones head. This could be relevant for my two final designs because the medium used here and the style of the illustration a has got a very earthy raw feeling to it, this could relate to my music because they both for a raw earthy feeling to them too. The reason why I like this image is because I like the way every thing has been elongated, the way empty space has been used. I like why the artist has illustrated the trees

For my new project from Mark I had to pick two songs. For the first song I was given a list of songs to pick from, to decide witch song to pick I listen to them all and witch ever one inspired me with interesting imagery is the one I picked. The one I picked was Dead Flag Blues by an artist called Godspeed You Black Emperor. The reason I picked this song is because the lyrics of the song puts loads of imagery in my head and this is basicly what I need for my story board and the two final illustrations. for the second song I could pick any song at all. The song i pick was called Bobby Marshal and the song is by a band called Fei Comodo.
Dead Flag Blues, Godspeed You Black Emperor lyrics, You Tube Link to actual song
Bobby Marshal, Fei Comodo lyrics, You Tube link to actual song
From Fei Comodo's song there is two lines from the song that i really like the first one is "Haunted by his only memory" amd the second one is "Waking up in the gutter with blood on his hands"
