Notes from the Nemenator

The latest non-Elvis drawings are here: “Pretty in Pink.”

It all started on a bad day, when I wrote “abandonment!” (punctuation included) real big on the wall, in a gesture at once cathartic and kind of funny. Magenta colored-pencil in hand, I set to writing the larger-than-life, Molly-RIngwald-meet-Ed-Ruscha words with a anal fourth-grader’s determination. Through the ongoing series, I want to know: can the text cut both ways? Jubilant and  devastated? Ironic and honest?
