A tornado is the ultimate poof!
This photo montage is an illustration for the upcoming book Somewhere in These Days of Morning by Bonny Belgum. Here is the chapter in its entirety:
Decoding is a state of mind
Slippery iron or chromium tubes are not carriers. Decoding is a parched landscape brimming with age, cracking all the world’s history into tiny laugh lines. If you can’t see in it the best jokes ever thought but not spoken, all the math in the collective wisdom vaults can’t help you. She and the Dalai Lama laugh so hard you can almost hear if you know where to look. Tornadoes spin them up to a little white wrought-iron tea table, where they eat lemon cakes and enjoy the brittle view.
She had an idea once, and for that she is sorry.

I love this! And to think there are many more chapters to illustrate, I can hardly wait to get out my thinking cap and scissors and paint and old magazines....! For more information about Bonny, you can visit her blog at bonnysamerica.com.

coincidently (or not), i'm listening to Donovan's "Whirlwind." not sure what to make of it, and that's always a good thing.
Wow.
Great.
This is gorgeous! So much depth of expression here. I think your illustration is the perfect match for the story---Can't wait to see some more ; )
