fbhjrI’ve always been a big fan of the Bayeux Tapestry and its story of the
Norman invasion of England. It is full of interesting images and icons
representing things. Some of the things it represents have been forgotten
and no one knows what the real story is.
I’ve wanted to something similar for Phoenix Swords. A history of the 279
and growing number of shows we’ve done over the last 12 years.
And, I’d love to do it as icons.
I think I’ve thought of a way to do it. If we buy some cheap bed sheets
and put them up between the poles of the tents, we could put some of the
shows on each of the sheets.
The real question is, what do we use for icons.
Things like waterspouts at the show I think we can figure out.

But, how would you express this story with icons:

Well, we’ll have a lot of time in the car to think about it.

And I think that is as far as my google fu will get me today. Or you could always use a miniature cannon? *shrug* The plane thing, well How about a stylised version of Baba Yaga's house. I read an Orson Scott Card book where she brought a plane into the past and in the book the villagers later drew it into what her house looks like now... only iwth big wings.

Not tapestry iconic though.

Date: 2014-02-25 06:16 pm (UTC)That is one of the things I want to think about: how to show modern things in a way that would fit with the 900 year old inspiration.
But, Thursday night into Friday I'm going to be spending 1300 miles with 2 artists. So, it will give us something to talk about.
In totally different news, my wife did say it was OK to share some of the old stories I mention on your LJ the other day.
So, if you're interested, they are the only things unlocked here: http://sexy-frank.livejournal.com

I will let you know when I am done in case you want to make it private again.

Re: Yay
Date: 2014-02-26 12:13 pm (UTC)The mystery tech and the extra copy of Halley's brain are both in the hands of "Comander Blast" the old head of Bio-Life/Advanced Strategic Technologies. I'm afraid she has something of a grudge and her own power armor. And she's trying to put her old group back together. (The ones still alive or replacements for them.)
I have yet to write up that story arc, but it is on my list.
I'm afraid the brain swapping tech was not shared with other nations. Only a few select US people have benefited from it.
The Fey War is a different series of stories that mostly involves the children of the AOF. They are stopped. But, the fight between humans and fey continues for a very long time.
I went and unlocked another story, if you're interested, about the end.
