KEROUAC - The Banners 1

 I lined the bare walls of the space Upstairs at the White Elephant with a number of painted banners taken from contemorary photos of the principle characters in the story of KEROUAC. These averaged about 3 feet by 6 feet, like the one shown in my original sketch above. This young image of Jack Kerouac was a studio portrait.

 You can see on the xerox at left how I would doodle the outlines to try and find an acceptable graphic representation. I've even penciled in a demarcation line to show the edge of the banner and the realignment of the image. Below you see a frame grab from the video of the show featuring CINDY GRIFFIN performing in front of the finished banner.
