"because in the end, you won't remember the time you spent working in the office or mowing your lawn. Climb that goddamn mountain"
"there was nowhere to go but everywhere, so just keep on rolling under the stars"
“They danced down the streets like dingledodies, and I shambled after as I’ve been doing all my life after people who interest me, because the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes “Awww!”
the last one is quite a long one, but the parts I want to concentrate on are; the main character 'shambling' along after his 'mad' friends and the explosive, fire-like nature of the friends.
I have started thinking about what to include in the collage. I want to try include some hand-drawn elements.
I did a sketch of a building from some old photos of 1950s America.
But I don't think the style of it will really fit with the old photos and photocopies I've gathered.
Looked through loads of photos for figures from the beat generation in poses of energy and excitement.
Really like the top left as they look like their in the middle of a dance while also looking quite rebellious, also the bottom right, which is of Allen Ginsberg who 'Carlo Marx' in On the Road, is based on. He looks like he is absorbing or mesmerised, by something in the sky.

I like the use of red with the figures.
