New Drawings: Closing a Chapter.

So here's the post-break-up-angry-phase artwork that I made last week.

I expect this is the end of my Kurt-inspired series of drawings, which all together make quite a solid little body of work. (50 drawings) Since it illustrates the whole rise and fall of our relationship through art,  I thought it'd make an interesting little book.  I expect I'll simply self publish it myself as a little passion project. But who knows.

On to the art!  With this first drawing I took process photos for once, since I drew the shapes by tracing the shards of broken glass from the night of the break-up...

And here's the finished drawing...
This drawing is called "I'm a maker not a breaker." Here's the next one...
The text in this drawing reads, "Fuck you for blaming me, fuck you for scaring me, fuck you for manipulating me, fuck me for letting you." The knives represent the suicide-threat nights. 

The drawing was inspired by this angry rant I scribbled in my notebook one night after an argument...

And here's the next drawing...

 
This illustration was about feeling like I just run from this, from him, from us.

This one was about fixing the holes he left behind in the wall, which felt rather metaphorical.  

Let the healing begin.
