Shreveport Means Business / Trudeau 2010

What is one implying with the guns, anyway?

Well, fella. It's like a blues tune. Fine young black woman. Several suitors. Jealousy. High, high blood pressure.

She can't say "No," can she? And where does that leave her fellows? Each one of whom possesses enough cash and confidence to swoop down and deposit a deep mess.

This one's about temptation, rationalization and miscommunication.

A Simple Wimple / Robert Trudeau 2010


A Simple Wimple
Originally uploaded by trudeau
Created for the next Bubble Rap show, A Simple Wimple is pure Carnival albeit without the usual godawful obviousities. No purplegreen&gold, no fleur de lis, no mask.

For those deeply invested in Carnival, the view might be that this person - let us call her Sheila the Slayer - represents Over the Topness, Transvestitism and Whimsic Contrariness.

Indeed.

Wicker and bassinets

Madeline, my daughter, needed an invitation for a baby shower. Casting about for inspiration after one failed sketch, I cam across a photo on flickr entitled "Picot Hemmed Bind Off Swatches." From a distance the rectangles of textured fabric implied baby baskets to me.

Btw, there are already two wicker bassinets in Madeline and Lyosuke's apartment. One was saved by talbot from Jett's infancy and another was rescued by Madeline from a curbside de-acsession.
