Description the lyrics around the cloud say "and now he rides a comet's flame and won't be coming back again, the earth looks better from a star" from Neutral Milk Hotel's "Holland 1945"

it's watercolour, ink and collage.
and I dig it.
nice change from what I've been doing lately.
sorry about the craptacular photo - it's too big to scan entirely.

Absolutely amazing. The cartoony-but-delicate style is exactly what I picture when I listen to In the Aeroplane...you've perfectly captured that sense of child-like innocence juxtaposed with the darker subject matter of the story with the metallic sun. Wow.

Wow! I love this! Although, my favorite part of the song is "the earth looks better from a star above form where you are."

Very nice work!

Wow, I really like this whole style.
I think it IS a different direction than your previous work,
and I've been listening to that song crazily lately.

I wish i was inspired to create works of art.
