Tracking Down the Start

October 7, 2013

Oh, Hello Design Guru,

I’d sure be grateful for you to create the t-shirt/press poster/promo card image

that will represent my upcoming world tour.

Maybe you already have…

Here’s some guidelines:

- The official tour title=

Riled Up and Wasted On Light – Buddy Wakefield’s 2014/15 World Tour (Skipping Chechnya)

- It can be new or existing artwork, and you own all the rights to it.

- If your work is the match for this tour you’ll get due credit, linked on buddywakefield.com and anything else you care to negotiate.

- Send all images/links to your images to buddy@buddywakefield.com, not FB. Thanks for doing that.

- Here’s some context for the title of the tour =

You remember that time

we sat on top of the whole world

and told each other jokes about the ocean

until everybody crumbled

into tattoos

of bakeries?

Smelled good.

Felt right.

Laughed

so much.

That night

was always lookin’ for a 4-leaf clover.

Nothing to do with luck.

Any revelation.

Any size.

If we thought it would help

we would tell it to you

like a drunk octopus

riled up and wasted on light.

Like this,

like,

energy

can neither be created

nor destroyed.

That means

we are all exactly the same age

happening at exactly the same time.

Well well welcome

to a room full of self-declared “old souls”

in juvenile clothes.

Let’s blow the cake off our candles

and the starving

off of the words

that are stuck to our throats.
