Description
you each time
ani difranco

there you were day after day
six feet
twenty feet
two feet away
right in my pocket singin' me a song
makin' my heart race all day long

and we talked it out and we talked it down
but your eyes were not listening
and my ears were looking around
for another song to sing
but it was you each time
it was you

the answer to each moment must be yes
and the question: can you live with that?
becomes the test
so you weigh it against that aching in your chest
and that secretly relentless emptiness

and you talk it out and you talk it down
but your eyes are not listening
and my ears are running around
looking for another song to sing
but it is you each time
it is you...

some nine lives spoilers for you guys the song above always made me think of these two, especially the third set of lyrics. mm. (minus the two sets of lyrics at the end of it, which i left out...)

after the last few depressing pages, i've been feeling like marco needs some happy time. 'course this part of the story was planned long ago, but i get sad when my characters are sad... so i have to draw them happy. i'm weird like that.

so here's marco and melanie in the not too distant future. yeah, mel had a huge growth spurt. and her hair changed color.

you know, i really love drawing interiors. or rather decorating them. marco doesn't like a lot of clutter in his room though, so he doesn't have much. and that blanket is craaaaazy. for some reason when it comes to doing things like blankets, i just go fold crazy. and the folds usually don't make sense, but it looks pretty nifty don't it?

anyway, i'm really proud of this one. i don't know if i'll be willing to sell the original, but if i do, it'll be for a hiiiigh price...

pencil on 9x12 drawing paper, colored in photoshop. in traditional because the drawing itself was more involved than the colors.
