the first sketch reminds me of the three men in a tub. i remember our librarian in the third grade showing us an illustration of the men in the tub and i thought: they look so damn safe and cozy. i’ve always liked photos or pictures of people in some kind of moving vehicle, snuggled within its confines, safe from the vicious world outside. i used to put my little dolls in a shoebox. the ultimate scenario was that they were lost at sea and the shoebox kept them safe and cozy. i would shudder with excitement at how snuggled up they looked. i still do.
