Platform Flyer

Platform Flyer

 One of a series of mostly black and white mixed media/collage pieces with a photo-copy base. 

Here's the poem that is on the facing page in the journal:


we're not perfect but we

are trying

trying to get along to talk to touch to

see each other's 

                         point of view

we're not perfect but we

have a history

that is wrapped in strands

of perfect moments

                        perfect steps

                                            perfect strings of

perfect love.


23 April 1998



Platform Flyer - mixed media sketch by Douglas Brent Smith, 1998, from Journal #33, Life In Progress.

Song: Run Away!

Run Away! (Douglas Brent Smith) Don’t go to the basement in your underwear Maybe you can’t tell but there’s a monster down there Do yourself a favor and turn on a light Pay attention if you want to live thru the night Did you notice that the kitchen knives are missing? Now is not the time for teen age lover kissing Did you notice that the lights are blinking? Why head for the danger? What are you thinking? (chorus:) Every scary movie has them: brainless fools Walking into danger as the monster drools Zombies and slashers love ‘em, they taste so good And never do the one thing that they should: Run away!     Run away!    Are you an idiot?     Run away! If you’re smart you’ll avoid that cabin in the woods the one with a history of evil up to no good If it’s Friday the 13th you might want to stay awake Dreaming on that night could be a really big mistake  (chorus) (c) 2017 Douglas Brent Smith

Back Inner Cover

  Back Inner Cover of Journal #33, Life In Progress, by Douglas Brent Smith, A collage that's not exactly a typical collage. It's what I often do with the back inner covers of my journals -- simply randomly put stickers, stamps, name tags, and other sticky objects.
