I wanted to practice drawing perspective so in the spirit of TGA I chose to do a diner. This unexpectedly evolved into the first complete puzzle, story set.
I challenged myself to incorporate every track on the Horrible Crowes album and called the diner Elsie's. There was a murder and Betty the waitress with the black hair was at the scene of the crime.
As I tried to incorporate each track from Elsie into the picture, a story started to form. The details from the picture attached to a lyric just like the cities and the ladies in dresses. Those lines told me the full story.
Whenever you feel a little inside out.
We can dance until we die.
I'll tell you when you've cried long enough.
All my lovers were liars. too.
Somebody Died Here
The red violin was kind of like an epilogue. Ambulances on their way to me. Get Hurt, even die, and move on through the music.
