I’ve always loved that silly old macabre tune, the “Hearse Song”… It an odd one for sure!
“Don’t you ever laugh as the hearse goes by,
For you may be the next one to die.
They wrap you up in a big white sheet
From your head down to your feet.
They put you in a big black box
And cover you up with dirt and rocks.
All goes well for about a week,
Then your coffin begins to leak.
The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out,
The worms play pinochle in your snout,
They eat your eyes, they eat your nose,
They eat the jelly between your toes.
A big green worm with rolling eyes
Crawls in your stomach and out your eyes.
Your stomach turns a slimy green,
And pus pours out like whipping cream.
You’ll spread it on a slice of bread,
And this is what you eat when you are dead.”
My best pal, Evie, and her little family (pictured above) recently moved into a new house! I skyped with her yesterday and got a sneak peek of the place. I can’t wait to visit this summer :D Also, “here”is her drawing blog if you are interested!

I am proud to say that I am one of the three Zankel Scholar nominees for the Society of Illustrators this year! Hello New York!
I’ve been sketching people from the background of photos I took in Paris, and wondering how many times I’ve been in the background of photos… and if somebody could be drawing me.

Pensive kitties and fly away shrooms… the things dreams are made of (and perhaps nightmares too)
