The Folsums Cd Cover
This painting was made from a song: Green Grass by Tom Waits.
I posted it below, so if you have a minute please listen, and zoom in/squint at the smaller portions, because they all represent a few strands of lyric. if you get lost they are all written in white on the bottom.
This song; and many others from this alum hold a very heavy narretive aspect for me. the tone is pregnant with imagry- after a lot of procrastination i decided i should try and show the world where this beautiful song has taken me.
In my opinion, i believe this song is based from the perspective of a dead man- talking to the wife that survived him. immediately one would find this melancholy, but i still think of this as a wonderfully nurturing love song. i think it conveys how one can love and live with another’s memory in a healthy romantic way. You can still be with somebody who is gone: and that i believe is absolutely beautiful.
I really didn’t mean for the main character to turn into myself, that was in no way my original intention…
For the posts above.
sad day
alter ego
my brother actually got the tattoo i designed for him!
he had those x files numbers already, and was semi embarrassed of them- so he asked me to make him an equally nerdy tattoo to help it blend it a little more. So i chose crop circles! AND that hand is mine so my brother has to love me hahaha. link.
