In Dixie Land
Monday, March 8th, 2010
Over the last 7 months or so, I’ve been combing through my work looking for interesting, and perhaps forgotten, illustration work for the new site. I came across several pieces I’ve done in the past that I haven’t posted online in a format suitable for viewing. This vector drawing of City Hall in Oxford Mississippi, commissioned by a friend for the Oxford Tourism Council, is a good example. More to come soon!
I was talking with a couple of fellow Memphis-lovers tonight about our city. We were trying to figure it out. Now, I know that trying to “figure out” this place is an exercise in futility, but something keeps me trying to make more sense of the place I’ve lived for close to 10 years. There’s something haunting this place. A presence that’s fluid and dangerous—filling every crack and crevice of the city–and at the same time evasive and fleeting.
