Young < L I A R >

My apologies for taking so long to get this up, but that there is the finalized version of the "Young Liar" piece that I've been posting occasional progress reports on both here and on my Facebook account since the middle of March .  

Other than a couple of random comic books I don't remember using, this piece was made primarily out of issues 2-8 and 10-16 of DC Comics/Vertigo's Young Liars, matte medium, gloss medium, and enamel on stretched canvas measuring 36 x 48 inches.

The honest to God truth as to why I used Young Liars for this particular Destruction was because I found a boat load of them sitting inside a cheap quarter-bin while shopping inside a south suburban comic book shop earlier this year.  No more.  No less.

It should be noted though that as a comic book enthusiast, I did give Young Liars a try back when the first trade paperback collection came out in late 2008 because I'm a HUGE fan of creator David Lapham's work.

But at the time, it just wasn't for me.

I did, however, thoroughly enjoy re-reading them this second time through, so much so that the experience is now forever immortalized on canvas while the flies try to break our balls.*

Yes, that's a David Bowie reference.  There's LOTS of David Bowie references throughout Young Liars.

AND I DESTROYED THEM ALL.

The tablature on the right is a guitar riff or two that I started messing around with a couple of weeks ago that I've long since forgotten how to play... Although I guess that would be the point of me writing it down, eh?

And to the left we have ass cheeks.

It was scribbled entirely in pencil, pen, conte crayon and ink on a disposable sheet of 8.5 x 11 inch computer paper.  I was even inclined to torch the lower right-hand corner with a lighter, because that obviously was the key to tying the whole composition together.

 Hurm.
