[Artwork] Object

Object, by J. Chaisson 8 September 1988


It's a bit tetchy in scan quality, but I thought I'd scan and post part of a pen drawing I did in art class back in high school that is very much me--we were supposed to bring in or find an object and draw it for a sketching project, and of course I went straight for what was in my tatty green trench coat on that day: my walkman and three tapes. In particular, you can see that the tapes are The Mighty Lemon Drops' World Without End, The Smithereens' Green Thoughts and The Alarm's Eye of the Hurricane. This would have been the start of senior year for me, so I was pretty much embracing the art/music nerd in me at that point. Art was probably my favorite class that year...I still have a number of my drawings from that time.
