Scott Murry - Favorite Love Story

Linda Ramone originally dated Joey, but ultimately went for Johnny. It's one of the most famous love triangles of modern love. She was even the subject of classic Ramones songs like "The KKK Took My Baby Away." However it went down, these two are rad. Happy (belated) V-Day!

Dragonslayer
Charcoal 18 x 24


It's a little ironic that I am not a huge love story person. When it comes to romance, I like my stories with a little less "Happily Ever After" and a little more grit. And while so many of the stories illustrated so far definitely fall into that category for me (some of which I was considering doing myself!)- I still needed something more. Especially when it came to inspiring me visually.

There is a painting By Jeffrey Catherine Jones called Dragonslayer. It's  a twist on the classic St. George and the Dragon tale, where the hero goes to rescue the Maiden, only to find her in bed with the Dragon. I have been in love with this painting ever since seeing it and just couldn't get it out of my head. So I decided to pay homage to that illicit romance and one of my favorite artists.



Taryn Cozzy - Favorite Love Story




This is based off of Norah Jones' song "Man of the Hour" - It's one of those funny love stories about how a woman's unsuccessful search for a man has helped her realize she doesn't need one. She sees that she has a more reliable catch - her dog - and together they share the kind of love a man can't fill. This love story goes out to those of us who share an unconditional love with our dogs.

Favorite Love Story- Ricardo Lopez Ortiz



The Terminator

Perfect.

Erika Steiskal - Favorite Love Story

Beauty and the Beast has long had a place of honor in my romantic heart.

Jorge Mascarenhas - Favorite Love Story

After deliberating between 6-10 stories, I finally chose this one: "Let the Right One In."

Lee Moyer - Favorite Love Story


Mary Shelley starred in her own poetic love affair of course. But that may not even be her greatest or most sublime reason to be here in the Month of Love.
