[800x600] [640x480]

This is one of my favourite Charles Bukowski poems, and my favourite of all his short ones. It’s so simple and so perfect and I’d love to have written it first…

This was my first serious attempt to do a full-screen, text-based graphic. It remains one of my favourites, and I’m still very happy with it. It’s extremely simple and very effective. The only ‘odd bits’ are the way the title, always, is split up, one syllable on each side of the screen, and the way the title is a mix of black, white and grey. Apart from that, it’s just text, blurring, and lines. But it works!
