Desert Bus 2024, Day 7. (Yes, I did skip Day 6.)

A Night Watch Art Challenge for their Beyblades slogan, "If you love something, let it rip!"

In Japanese, the Beyblades anime uses "Go shoot!", so I translated this as「何かを好きならGO SHOOT」.

Sumi ink, watercolour, Japanese calligraphy brushes, watercolour brushes, Western broad nib pens, cold-press watercolour paper.

A logo-like word art piece. It reads, in Japanese, "nanika wo suki nara GO SHOOT!!". The first line is in kaishō script in black, and the words GO SHOOT are in red watercolour. Below it, the English words in italic script and black ink, it reads: "If you love something, let it rip!!" The S in GO SHOOT is extended to create two disks, in a red-to-yellow gradient above and below that evoke spinning beyblades. A light orange splotch forms the background, on white paper.

Calligraphy and a small watercolour painting on cream-coloured paper. In black ink and italic script, it reads, "Every closing of a tab is a tiny murder". Below that, a painting of a browser tab with a knife through its X-shaped close button. The tab icon is an A in a circle, and the title reads AAAAAAAAA, in script that gets messier as it goes.

Desert Bus 2024, Day 4. Dan Olson is a thoughtful person. Welcome to the unhinged madness that is Desert Bus for Hope; please come again!

I felt like the words speak for themselves and needed very little. I edited and formatted them into a contemporary poem, and added a little accent. That's all.

India ink and watercolour on textured paper. Italic script.

Calligraphy of a poem, in Italic script, black india ink on cream-coloured textured paper. Based on words by Dan Olson on Desert Bus. The poem reads: "And as I sat there / I found myself in conflict / 'tween Dan the Culinarian / and Dan the Comedian / and... / well... / we all need to dig graves / for parts of ourselves / eventually". Attributed to Dan Olson. Signed Laogeodritt, 13 November 2024.

Desert Bus 2024, Day 3. The crew read Am I the Bushole stories, and suggest alternative recourses. Dan Wu's proposal is, it turns out, occult—and accidentally poetic?

I made the mistake of picking a thin calligraphy paper to do wet-on-wet watercolour, but turns out the buckling, once scanned, enhance the ritual!

Calligraphy and painting on cream-coloured paper. On the right, an illustration of a single candle at the middle of a magic circle in blood red, with a toilet overlooking it. Buckling paper creates mystical lines focused around the toilet. The text is in black italic script, and reads as a poem: "Candle on the ground / Some weird shapes / You walk in— / 'Sounds like you were / doing a ritual.' / 'Yes! I was! / Can I have / some privacy?'" Signed Laogeodritt, dated 12 November 2024.
