Yeah. The potential problem with that is my last two acrylics (including my avatar pic) are both protests against terrorism and fanaticism. I might want a different theme this time. Especially after 9/11, you don't want to absolutely harp on that theme or it gets hackneyed.

I always thought Please had religious overtones in it as well, I would like to see So Cruel as a piece of Art.

Your avatar is very nice by the way, I wish I had the talent to paint, I loved reading about Lautrec, Van Gogh and Gaudi. Brilliant minds.

Good Luck,

Aralitia.

They are protests against religious as well as political fanaticism. The avatar pic is a protest against the Istanbul bombings, in which two synagogues were bombed, allegedly by Al Qaeda, and then another one protested a sectarian bombing of a mosque in Iraq. So I might use the absurdity of celebrity or something else I haven't thought of yet.

Oh, jick. Personally I prefer to use paint. And two songs I'm thinking of using are "Please" and "Playboy Mansion".

I think a good reference would be the images on the screens when the songs were played live.

As for Playboy Mansion, U2 never played it live but during the rehearsals, Bono contemplated doing it live and sending out giant lotto balls (balloons) to the audience to pass around which the song is being played (the idea proved too impractical and costly so they ditched it). So you painting of the Playboy Mansion can be something like lotto balls. Good choice actually - Playboy Mansion is one of my favorite POP songs.

Cheers,

I think both songs are a good idea. But I think Please would be the most impressive, since its such a powerful song.

Good luck!

I have to "translate" all of this to visuals, so who knows what will come out of it? I have a visual head, not a verbal one. So.........

What about WGRYWH?

I was in the art supply store and doing something with a "Gloria" theme hit me like a ton of bricks. That's one of the early U2 songs that absolutely floored me when I just getting hooked.
