Artist's Comments
The pile of cans and bits of bed frame and doorknobs and ladder and light-bulbs and then all the things that could no longer be recognized, large and small and sundered, was steep and unstable. The boy was stubborn, however. The boy felt he was more stubborn than the pile was steep. He held the clock against his chest and began to slide down on his lower back, feet and free arm guiding the way. Garbage rose up like hills and mountains just over the mounds of his knees. The cans and scraps and odds and ends, but primarily cans in this heap, shifted unpredictably beneath him. Then, a terrible groaning sound. A sudden crumbling collapse. In the landslide which followed, a sense of peace fell like a layer of dust over the pitch of the boy's panic. If he was to be crushed beneath so much garbage then in turn he too would one day know the immortal secrets of trash. He would be like a stopped clock. One day, some nameless other boy could find him, paused in time but still somehow recognizable.
~ words by ladyjaida I drew this back in May and is the first illustration I did for Pie-IX. You can read the teaser-intro here: [link] Who thought garbage could be so fun to draw? I had trouble getting the perspective right, but the more 'right' it was, the worse it looked. So I kept the wonky perspective. Besides, I'm very wonky myself. No point in trying to fight that. :3 Program: Shi Painter Pro Site: Pie-IX Nine & Cee ©  & |
