Most of the pictures are drawings-- ink on whatever paper was lying around, but there are also paintings (acrylic), photos I took, and experimental photographic processes. I tried to illustrate the passages as literally as possible-- if the book says there was a green Spitfire, I drew a green Spitfire. Mostly, I tried to make a series of pictures as dense, intricate, and rich as the prose in the book. The entire project was shown in the Whitney Museum's 2004 Biennial Exhibition of Contemporary Art and is now in the permanent collection of the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis.</FONT></FONT></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.themodernword.com/pynchon/zak_smith/title.htm"><P align="right"><FONT size="+2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#00ccff"><A href="http://www.themodernword.com/pynchon/zak_smith/page%20index.htm">Illustration Index</A></FONT> </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.themodernword.com/pynchon/zak_smith/title.htm"><P align="right"><A href="http://www.themodernword.com/pynchon/zak_smith/page%20index.htm"><FONT face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Book 1</FONT></A><FONT face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <A href="http://www.themodernword.com/pynchon/zak_smith/page%20index.htm#Book2">Book 2</A> <A href="http://www.themodernword.com/pynchon/zak_smith/page%20index.htm#Book3">Book 3</A> <A href="http://www.themodernword.com/pynchon/zak_smith/page%20index.htm#Book4">Book 4</A></FONT></P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.themodernword.com/pynchon/zak_smith/title.htm"><P align="right"><A href="http://www.fredericksfreisergallery.com/artists/smith/index.html"><FONT face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#999999">The Artist's Gallery</FONT></A></P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.themodernword.com/pynchon/zak_smith/title.htm"><P align="right"><A href="http://www.zaxart.com/"><FONT face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#999999">Zak Smith's home page</FONT></A></P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/FAE1373D-A763-42DC-A850-C4DE8F00C070/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
