Kristina Carroll- 69 Love Songs

Queen of the Savages
Charcoal

When I listened to Queen of the Savages, it made me think of those ill-fated rebound relationships. You know, when you have a hard break up and end up meeting someone who seems perfect simply because they are the exact opposite of everything that is familiar. For a while the newness can devour your heartbreak but if you aren't careful, you can get completely eaten up by it.

She eats other queens,

she's very religious

She doesn't use a fork

I don't think I'll go back to New York

This was another quick drawing I managed to squeeze in among other work and deadlines this week. Whew! What a month! Thank you everyone for so much beautiful art, inspiration and motivation! I am so happy with how this month turned out!

The Magnetic Fields' "Absolutely Cuckoo" is my favorite from their 69 Love Songs. Something about it sounds so rounded, maybe it's the repetitive beat and continuous string of words, or that it makes me picture a billion balloons or bouncing balls going down a hill... And the lyrics hit me right in the childhood, when you have a million crushes and a billion fantasies and a trillion friends that you think you love everything and everyone with all your heart and it doesn't matter to you or them how strange and crazy your mind may be. But the fun, rounded beat of life as a child is handy at masking all the gossip and terrors the world may present and some of that bubbly optimism never leaves us. Maybe that's not what this song really means, but that's my crazy interpretation :)

I had a ton of fun drawing this and it didn't turn out how I wanted it to so maybe I'll take this in later and fix it up - hooray!
