Graceland

There is a girl in New York City,
Who calls herself the human trampoline,
And sometimes when I'm falling flying
Or tumbling in turmoil I say
Whoa so this is what she means


So, my new project is illustrating Graceland by Paul Simon; this is the beginning of a series of books based upon albums; I'm interested to see what the images I see in my head when I listen to Graceland look like on the page; I think this album evokes some really strong, and bizarre, visuals.

You Can Call Me Al


Who'll be my role-model
Now that my role-model is gone,
He ducked back down the alley
With some roly-poly little bat-faced girl.
