Recently, I read that teenagers resist reading young adult fiction but instead look for adult material, while younger children, hoping to get a peek of teenagerhood, would read about high schools and puberty. According to this cycle, it makes me wonder if adults miss the comfort of children’s fairy tales. This may be true in a way. Occasionally, when the exhaustion from work and life pile up on a rainy day or a Friday night, it is too easy to simply want to crawl under the blanket with a mug of hot soup and watch a little something. If that’s the case for you, perhaps you’d like to watch the short, animated film Crowboy.

Even those who don't know very much about visual art are familiar with the Cubist approach to the human body. Pablo Picasso liked to present a person from many angles at once, and compress three-dimensional form into a two-dimensional frame. No matter what step she's on, that nude descending a staircase comes at us all at once. We know we're looking at an individual person, even if it's never clear which of those fields of color represent the present moment and which are afterimages, projections, and vapor trails. Representing human beings like this guarantees that there’ll be distortions: facial features in strange places, unexpected angles, duplicates and odd subtractions, clashes between heads, necks, and torsos, the shuffling of expressions, and the surprise and disquiet that comes when an obviously human figure doesn't look much like a human at all.

Loss, we've all suffered it. Some of us more than others,some less and still yet there are those of us who've not had loss of any significance to this point. Loss, like anything else, is directly related to perspective. What may seem like a huge loss to one, is insignificant to another. People pass away, bad days do the same, they fade into the night or disappear at the bottom of one's favorite drink until they are swept away by the morning's sunrise and things are new. Some loss stays a bit longer, adding scars to our bodies until they become topographical maps of memories; reminders of what not to do or what we didn't do or should've done.
