I like how they’re being cruel like this just because they CAN

Technical note: the guy in the painting was based on M. Austin Bedell, who was sitting across the room from me when I drew this, and was thus an easy surreptitious target to do a quick bad coffee shop painting sketch of.

The Black Emerald

"Jeanne has this way of writing self-consciousness inside these perfect, self-contained worlds with signifiers that make them seem like they are the world we live in but if that world were...I don’t even know exactly. Mystifying and uncomfortable and bulging with complicated, contradictory feeling just below the surface of everything. Seriously check out this book." —Imogen Binnie, author of Nevada

The Dream of Doctor Bantam

". . . Thornton's Dr. Bantam is pure Americana, cinematic and idly mean. It's lush and trashy. I guess it's the most graphic-novelly feeling book about loss I can think of. It's all punk heart, messily thudding." —Eileen Myles
