“The Hunting Whippoorwills” 2009, 11”x11”, scratchboard and watercolor “Then too, the natives are mortally afraid of the numerous whippoorwills which grow vocal on warm nights. It is vowed that the birds are psychopomps lying in wait for the souls of the dying, and that they time their eerie cries in unison with the sufferer’s struggling breath. If they can catch the fleeing soul when it leaves the body, they instantly flutter away chittering in daemoniac laughter; but if they fail, they subside gradually into a disappointed silence.” H.P. Lovecraft “The Dunwich Horror”

“Quid me Nutrit me Destruit” Latin proverb meaning “that which nourishes me also destroys me”. Has obvious connotations to drug and alcohol abuse, but in my case, it was a heartful of misguided feelings that were not reciprocated. The ordeal ultimately emotionally hamstrung me, but also inspired me to make new pieces fueled by the acute pain. As such, it nourished, and destroyed me. Mixed media on clay panel, 8”x10”. This is more watercolor than scratchboard, so I will not mark it as a scratchboard piece.
