“Each drawing is an elegy.

Made in the morning steam of my backyard s my dog swatted mosquitoes with his bushy tail in the summer months of 2019. One day a storm rushed in before I could take notice, a dozen or so drawings were rained on, I believe they are still included in the book. Some mornings the wind was too strong and the drawings would scatter into the neighbor’s yards.

Each book contains an original drawing. When the drawings run out the edition will end.

This book was to be simply titled “Deadheads” but then I thought better of it and changed the name to “Deadheads, Devotionals, and Elegies,” but as the project developed I discovered it was about so much more (less) than that.

These elegies, rather than lamenting the dead, act as prayers of gratitude for the Dead.”
