This is a promotional poster that I created for the fictional jazz band
from Josef Skvorecky’s short story, “The Bass Saxophone.”
A tailor labors by candlelight,
gold rimmed glasses slipping
down his rosy nose. Outside,
wet snow bleeds from burnt sky.
Threadbare fingers, frail but firm,
feel fat folds of velvet while
discolored eyes glance at the mantle,
resenting those two brass hands,
those tyrannical sentries of old,
that won’t let him sleep.
You enter the room where you child self dreamed.
Your dreams have changed but the room has not
The water-stained ceiling has not forgotten how your
salt-caked eyes stared wildly up at its jowls, dazed by
what the day had dealt you, oh so ready to retreat into
your ever expanding skull.
Those walls, those taciturn aunts and uncles, recall
your mirthful mouth making merry after August
birthday thrills and encounters with middle school
Rudy Valentinos.
The pre-Instagram picture window, alone now as it
was then, reflects on who you were, who you are, and
who you may yet become.
You leave the room where your child self dreamed.
The room has changed but your dreams have not.
This collage is made from blueberries, raspberries, muenster cheese, rosemary, thyme,
and pistachios. It was photographed and then passed through a texture filter.
This was an assignment for a graphic design course that I completed in April of 2019.
