Unexpected Creepiness (the Mary Cyn story) (Patreon)

I found an old sketchbook, circa 2006. It features a short lived (three page) stab at visual journaling, from a trip to San Francisco. The image above is me on the ferry, leaving my hometown. It still makes me giggle a little.

Some of the better things I found were surprisingly disturbing. I'm not sure why it surprised me. I love disturbing art and there were some disturbing elements in my life at the time. But these two still kinda took me aback.

I kinda can't believe that I forgot I made this. I love that it is both profoundly creepy AND strongly influenced by Chuck Jones.

And then there was this.

I don't remember  drawing this. I don't know what the caption means. I assume it's a quote from my abusive ex but....I don't remember what he was talking about. And maybe that's for the best.
