Lay it down

or, alternatively

Lay down Sally, Eric Clapton

I wanted to call this page ‘Lay it down,’ but, maybe you are like me and think in lyrics. Sometimes I do, and when naming this page, the chorus of Eric Clapton’s 1977 country blues song Lay down Sally just wouldn’t quit.

Fun fact: Not for you is one of those sayings that came to me from the reptilian part of my brain, and it’s quite appropriate when you consider that this artwork came together while I was in the middle of what would become a lengthy job search. Not for me indeed.

It’s interesting to lay type down. It’s certainly fun and challenging to play with the perspective. Adobe Illustrator has a built-in perspective grid tool, which I’m sure is quite useful if one can understand it. I cannot. However, thankfully it’s very easy to create my own guides in Illustrator.
