Eden said "I think I'm gonna move to California." And so she did.
When looking at the picture and the way the road was shaped the right side of the panel resembled a kick drum. It was obvious what the drum shaped billboard would say. Only Gaslight fans would recognize it but it seemed to fit the story. It was exactly what Eden would do when she got to Hollywood.
She was invincible. I'm sure she saw the sign but didn't know.
Live Fast, Die Awesome from Benny's drums--a quote from a lost friend of the band. The quote became a big part of the story.
When the Positive Charge video came out I was in the midst of painting this one. It was from the first Gaslight album in a long time and I was just getting addicted to this painting thing at the same time.
The video was from the perspective of someone driving. To me, it felt like Eden's perspetive as she drove off to California. It was the exact spark I needed.
Eden became the parallel, fictional version of Mae--if Mae was real. Eden was the one who would move to Hollywood and live the illusion over and over and over again. Burning spectacularly every time.
Later on in the story I was working on the set below. It connected with Lost in Hollywood which connected with Eden in stories I'm yet to post.
Again, the shape and the flow of the painting showed me where the words would go. There seemed to be a god holding the Earth and looking down through it.

So, I called this set Atlas Hands after the Benjamin Francis Leftwich song that gave me a layer of Lost in Hollywood.

When I flipped one panel, Atlas was dropping the twins to earth. It became Eden's origin story. The moment she left her own Jackson--her cosmic twin. The quote from Benny's kick drum became a conversation.
Live Fast.

Awesome.

And the quote mark was a peace sign that would become a signal betwen them just like red shoes and headlights.
This was a promise that they would not stay apart for too long but that it would be awesome.
