Cover Letter Eros

Here's a sample of a cover letter that almost made its way to an HR department in a textile department about a year ago. Cover letters need to take a chill pill and get groovy.

"I Found You on the Internet or By Word of Mouth

I believe 

I am perfect

For the position listed. You can

Put me in the position; any position announced

I will do whatever you want done

At a desk

With a machine

Completely by hand

I can do it

My discerning eye will negotiate the fluidity of dips

Dyes and the endless flow

Of yardages and entangled objects produced

Overseas. I will travel

My discretion is unparalleled and my lips

Will never divulge our secrets of company

The Internet is my playground

The streets, dark or day-lit, bear

The fruit of inspiration.

I am presentable, punctual, polite, and speak honestly

I submit to groups

But command a crowd

With eloquence and corporeal prostration

I demonstrate sublime skills

Show copious growth

Fulfill the desire until the next pangs of wont vibrate

Needing to be ripped apart and bear that coming 

Fruit of every season"

-DJB

Some

disjointed highlights.

\ˈȯ-gər\ is Augur is Inaugurate

This is the inaugural post of "Aquanette and Bermingham". Our intention in creating this blog is to allow access to, and the ability to follow, dualities within an artist's singular self. There is no formula; no concrete mission; no enlightened oracle lying prostrate on the floor and convulsing truths (well, occasionally Aquanette might do that...and you better listen!). It's just Aqua and I, presenting process, product, inspirations, and occasionally some links to other internet destinations. We hope you enjoy following this mess as much as Aquanette enjoys creating it (and please don't steal any of our work without contacting us first or Aqua...and our legal system...will seriously maim you). Enjoy.

Aquanette and I felt that for our first post, we would pay homage to the designer, Alexander McQueen. We had a lot of time to think about him during our two hour wait in line at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's record breaking show "Savage Beauty", and decided he'd be a good place to start.

Dave's McQueen:
I'd fallen in admiration of McQueen as an art student at MassArt and he quickly became a go-to for inspiration. about a year or two after I started working at the Boston boutique, Alan Bilzerian, I was lucky enough to meet and quickly chat with Mr. McQueen as he rushed through Boston, fresh on his way from researching family in Salem, Ma. He was cordial and down-to-earth, I couldn't believe an idol was standing in front of me... so I sold him a cheap Tibetan skull bracelet and he went on his way grimacing.
I couldn't help but get angry at that homely guy in a tight shearling coat as I walked the halls of this exhibition; I felt like I had lost a friend. I guess we all did in a way. These sketches are in honor of him and his continued impact on my outlook towards creating.
