The Subway Diary: 20-Jan-98

First Person Photo/Third Person Lithograph

image

  1. Was created by Seiki Ojushiri (was created by Paul Ford from "scratch" in two industry-standard image-creation programs)
  2. Was created in August of 1965 (was created on January 19, 1997 from 10:00 to 11:20 pm)
  3. Is an offset lithograph measuring 13" by 27"(is a cropped Adobe Illustrator 7.0 graphic with a Photoshop drop shadow and fake string holding it up)
  4. Is scanned from a photograph (is tilted one degree to the right to impersonate a bad camera angle, with a fake frame edge added on the right)
  5. Is grayed by too much sun, and fringed at the lower right and bottom edges (is covered by a blurry, digital layer, pretending to be aged)
  6. Is worth 200 dollars (is non-corporeal and thus absolutely, entirely worthless.)
  7. Was discovered in a thrift store in Philadelphia (a lie)
  8. Represents the "False Eyelash" school of Japanese-American art (no such thing)
  9. Has hung on my wall for a year (the wall is sketched in Photoshop)
  10. The end (never began)
