1. In early 2020 COVID-19 hit us like pins in a bowling alley. Except for social media, our ability to interact with others outside of our immediate household hit the pause button. We waited each day for the next foot to drop, and then John Prine succumbed to the virus. I have been a fan of his music since his first album release, have attended concerts, anticipated the release of each new album, and then tried to figure out how to cope with the fact that there would be no more John songs. I took the lyrics from his song “Hello in There”, a song about the loneliness of old age, printed them on a 12”x12” page (the size of a 33rpm album), and then drew an image inspired by the lyrics on top. It gave me a sense of closure.
