As a huge fan of illustrator Yuko Shimizu, I have always followed her work and her networks. One of my favorite illustrations is the one that was used for the cover of the book: Melancholy of Mechagirl by Catherynne M. Valente.
Curious, I decided to buy it and I got a big surprise. It is a super original book with modern and unusual poetry. Perfect for anyone looking for inspiration, like me.
Deep into her reading and letting my imagination fly inside her lyrics, I found a little phrase that gave me the perfect image and idea for an illustration:
You can't convince them
There's nothing kinky going on:
you can't move the machine
without IV interface
fourteen intra-optical displays
a code dump wafer
LIKE A ROSE PETAL UNDER THE TONGUE,
silver tubes wrapped around your bones…
is a beautiful mysterious phrase that I saw clearly in my mind…. Almost like something religious, sensual, spiritual ... liberating.
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
