Hear You Calling in the Dead of Night Drawing

Title: Hear You Calling in the Dead of Night -I do commissions upon request, please inquire! -You can also find me on www.wyldtrees.com and fb.com/wyldtrees This was originally done on 20x14 bristol paper. It took quite a long time to do, but mostly because I kept getting caught in the middle of doing other commissioned work at the same time. There's a lot of Stephen King's Dark Tower Series influence in it as well. This picture is HEAVY to me. It carries with it a lot of emotion. The big house portrays its beginnings as rich and productive, but its abandonment show's an unsatisfying demise. There's a lot of sadness there, but a lot of solemnity too, which is different than sadness in the sense that there's a feeling of loss, but also of peace. A reverent alone-ness. When first working on this, I thought about drawing a flag hanging down from the balcony, white with a black spot in the center, like the kind ships would fly when there was plague aboard. For some reason this didn't quite fit with the picture. I felt like the picture was using me to create it and that wasn't what it wanted to portray, if that makes any sense. The flag was agreeable in one way, but in another it wasn't. That's the same reason why I left one of the windowpanes in the top tower window white. I was supposed to. Not sure why, but there it is. It's an odd angle to draw a house at, and while working on it I began to wonder why. And I felt like was in some post-apocalyptic scene again, weary and tired and wet from a resent rainstorm and coming out of some quiet woods, landing upon the view of this house, as alone and solemn as I was. What happened here? The randomness of the things out of place, the knocked over coffee mug on the porch, the lawn tools still out, the crates, everything out as if the home had been deserted quickly. And upon seeing the baby carriage, a drop in my stomach and a hitch in my chest. Is there a baby in there? I didn't want to know but I did. I'd have to check. So many questions. Who lived here? Where did they go? Why did they go? What happened? It's beautiful in it's curiosity. There's a restfulness to it, a solemnity as if the years spent there are something holy. The title, "Hear You Calling in the Dead of Night" was named because of the song by Bastille I heard after I started working on the piece. The song is called, "Overjoyed". I felt like wandering through the halls, picking up all the little oddities and getting the feel of the place would tell me it's secrets. There's a lot I still don't know. You tell me.
