Childhood Tragedies

It's been forever since my last update! I have to apologize for taking so long to post these, the following watercolor paintings are from the end of my spring semester during my Junior year at MICA. They're all bound into the book shown, titled 1976, inspired by the color palette used in these paintings.

Each painting is 5x7 inches and done with watercolor.

Fashion Spread Narrative Final

"Ben was late. Everyone was late. Susan had been there since 5:30.

She was certain the ceramic dog had moved."

Alice spent the early part of the evening telling everyone who would listen that she hardly ever touched the stuff. She spent the rest of the evening touching it.

He had heard the window rattling and flipped the light switch. Devin had hoped to sneak back in unnoticed. Her lip rouge was worn and her cheeks were flushed.

"You're standing really close to me," she said nervously.

The room was unnaturally cold.

He offered her his jacket but she declined, lightly brushing his arm away.

She didn't want anything to dull the experience. At long last the curtain was being drawn.

Each of these were done in ink by hand with digital color and are 8 x 10 inches.

Going over to Susan's house..

This is an accordion book I made to go along with the lyrics to Susan's House by The Eels.

It's 5.5x4.5 inches. April 2008.

(I've included lyrics to go with the illustrations)

Going over to Susan's house

Walking south down Baxter Street

Nothing hiding behind this picket fence

There's a crazy old woman smashing bottles

On the sidewalk where her house burnt down two years ago

People say that back then she really wasn't that crazy...

Going over to Susan's house

Going over to Susan's house

She's gonna make it right

Down by the Donut Prince

A fifteen year old boy lies on the sidewalk

With a bullet in his forehead

In a final act of indignity

The paramedics take off all his clothes

For the whole world to see

While they put him in the bag

Meanwhile an old couple argues inside the Queen Bee

The sick fluorescent light shimmering on their skin

Going over to Susan's house

Going over to Susan's house

I can't be alone tonight

Take a left down Echo Park

A kid asks do I want some crack

TV sets are spewing Baywatch

Through the windows into black

Here comes a girl with long brown hair

Who can't be more than seventeen

She sucks on a red popsicle while she pushes a baby girl

In a pink carriage

And I'm thinking that must be her sister

That must be her sister, right?

They go into the 7-11

And I keep walking

Going over to Susan's house...
