Creative Cogitation

As I pre­vi­ously stated while I was work­ing on Bird on a Wire a whole series of paint­ings came to me.  This series is a result of my recent immer­sion into social media.  I am a noob (a neo­phyte) to things like Face­Book and Twit­ter, but I hope to get bet­ter.  I even took a class for Face­Book, just before they com­pletely redid the lay­out.  ARGH!

I am still look­ing for Face­Book fan page tips.  My RSS feed is dou­ble post­ing and since they redid the lay­out I can’t find where the RSS Feed link is at on the fan page anymore.

Any­way, when I posted Tweet­Deck, one of my com­men­ta­tors said that Retweet came to mind.  Of course I was already work­ing on it as it was such an obvi­ous follow-on.  And now it is done-enjoy.

Retweet by Jake Beck­man. An orange canary sings to four other yel­low ones who seem to be lis­ten­ing. The binary in the back­ground reads “Retweet.”

Its a lit­tle abstract in con­cept, but also kind of lit­eral too.  The ASCII binary reads “Retweet” from Left to Right, and Top to bot­tom.  In this ver­sion I explic­itly included a spi­ral as a place for my canaries to perch.  I opted to fill the entire back­ground with binary so the upper most bird would have some­thing to stand on, oth­er­wise it would have been hang­ing upside down like an orang­utan.   What do you think?

Update: Details about Retweet, size etc., can be found on its art page at AKAJake.com
