To deaf ears




A summer ago I realized how preposterous my neighbours' behaviour was when it came to front yard care. Behaviour that included watering the interlocking brick (no lawn), presumably to clean it (instead of using a broom), and watering the garden as rain clouds were rolling in. These are a few little drawings that resulted from those observations, which I put together as photocopied little flyers and put in each neighbour's mailbox, many of which I found flying around the street later in the day. Drawn in pen and black watercolour.

Hello Neighbour!
Indeed. These drawings are adorable and made hilarious by the circumstance. I wonder what the neighbours thought of the drawings...or if they even looked at them.

Thanks, dudes! Yeah, the round man is a likeness of one of the portuguese elders on my block... the young guy is whoever your Rorschach interpretation of it wants it to be. : )
