About my design

by RAISEnoCHICKEN

After my twentieth or so listening to the song I finally started to move away from the literal representations of children with coins or girls with birds and started to think about the situations that the song implies. I kept seeing a brother and sister living in the suburbs in the 50's surrounded by the normal childhood climate of imagination and fear. I envisioned a precarious game of sport in which the brother was playing for more than fun, and the fear of losing meant something awful would happen.

I really like the interpretation and illustration, but I dunno if I'd ever actually wear it.

I like the way you 'read between the lines'.

The 50's interpretation reminded me of Neil Simon's 'Brighton Beach Memoirs' where the brother's poker playing means more to his family than a card game.

Nice work-up.

I was thinking it would be good to have crumpled money on the floor next to him but that may mess with the overall design.
