i loved that girl with all my part – but i only loved the upper part

it's almost not anywhere near valentine's day, but all the other blogs are posting their valentines day fare already, and as you all know, the blue chair collective is constantly, desperately striving to be a normal, accepted blog like all the others. i did these two drawings about a year ago. they're actually the last two thirds of a tryptic but apparently i never scanned the first one. it's the story of a sailor who falls in love with a mermaid, but things don't exactly work out.

BOOK 'EM

two project from last semester that i finally finished tonight while i was stuck in the perfect storm of literally nothing else to do (working the graveyard shift in the computer lab during spring break and the internet was down). A Tree of Night is a collection of Truman Capote's early stories inspired by childhood anxieties. The vignettes on the toile each representation of one of the stories. The painting on SeLeCTeD POeMS is inspired by the the little horse is newlY and the type/ornamentation is supposed to reference the leather bound poetry volumes of yore.
