Time flies.....

...when you're having fun.

Why talk politics when everyone else is doing it so much better than I ever could?

The revolving door to the White House has kept everyone on their toes while we ourselves tiptoe going on with life as usual. Fighting off the angst has turned commonplace. We'll breathe easier someday.

DSH has moved forward. No room for cynicism here. Two pieces are now for screen delivery; the tussle with my ego has made at least one bigger in size.

The morphing of the letterform is taking up my brain space. An E turning into an e. Or, an e turning into an E.

E Pluribus Unum.

Research shows that it has a few possible origins, from Cicero to a masthead item on a Revolutionary War period men's magazine. The idea was that one--a unity--could be crafted from many. Rather elegant for the time--far more than now, as we are caught wallowing in xenophobia.

But more simply, it's the makeup of all matter and endeavor. Out of many cells, one body. Out of many words, a statement. It's more than a building block; it's building blocks that unify into a structure.

None of this "every man for himself" stuff.

As I work on the e, 6H pencils and French curves build the pathway that I'll then import into Animate (or Premiere or Aftereffects--not sure which yet) and the motion will be built through one of the filters.

The hand work is needed for a smooth transition. Lowercase e turning into E is much harder than the other way around. I'll keep you posted.
