Blood for Poppies
Alex Hinders, 2015.
Colored pencil and pen.
This song was actually inspired by a song of the same name by the band Garbage. I hadn’t been listening to it when I put the random lines down but upon seeing the image, I knew it had to be related. The song details a soldier who is currently stationed alone and the only company he has are the voices that come out of his radio — the song was stated by the artists to be about feelings of isolation.
The scanner had trouble with all of the red in this drawing. All together it looks a little less like the texture of bacon in person.

I know what you mean, they always look so much better in person, especially framed under glass. I know, I have some!
