workin with words

I'm trying to sort out the words that will make the structure of the drawings
i wanted to have the words down first so i could make the drawings around them and have a semblance of structure to start each image with
so ive been picking out little word snippets and trying to formulate little poems with them
either rhyming or just rhythmicly pleasing

sometimes ive just been putting the actual text in the advert 
because you just cant make this shit up


i took to drawing this guy
hes like a well groomed thug 
and he had a whole article of words about him
they dressed him up in lots of little suits and got him to stand about in them looking edgy and tough
i think hes football or something


simon baker is so yellow and funny looking


so i had three issues of esquire and in flicking through them i noticed a definite white heavy weighting in models
so i counted
and this is the only not white model in the entire three issues
there was a handful of brown men who weren't models
one was a mugshot of a criminal in a story about heroin
one was aziz ansari 
two worked at the magazine
and one was a child in an advert for a leisure centre


words are hard 
here are some
there are more
i dont know whether to just work like i was in the first place, taking the words as they seemed relevant
because this poem planning is taking a lot of time and im not sure i even want the images to be that text heavy, to fit in a whole verse
maybe ill just take words out in relation to the images and hope they kinda fit together
maybe just words that fit together rahter than actually flowing as a poem
or maybe im giving up cos im lazy
who knows
it needs more work
