My impulsive idea to create a montage of 1992 started the second week in January after the idea came to me halfway through the previous week. Hence no post for the week of January 3.
This initial week of 1992 saw a lot of Spike Lee's alter-ego, Mars Blackmon, who hooked up with Michael "Air" Jordan for a few Nike commercials. We closed in on the one year anniversary to the end of Operation Desert Storm. A mix of clipped headlines leads the eye to the other item from the week. Oliver Stone's sci-fi movie about the JFK assassination. Classic movie buffs should recognize Oliver Hardy with his pal, Stan Laurel, peeking over his shoulder. It sets up a visual and literary pun between Oliver and the word stoned. The circle connects elements across the page. Starting with a drawn interpretation of the planet Mars, the eye moves left and down to the bike wheels which sets up the rifle cross hair circles. Which in turn leads to the JFK reference.
