illustration of Abby Leigh hangs out in the back of her pick-up truck, which broke down in the parking lot of some roadside dive along Route 28, because the AC is broken and it's hot at the end of July here in the middle of nowhere Texas, and the wind, flash-bruned by the day's sun, blows over the high plains and nothing seems like it's going to work out.

illustration of Sometimes you find yourself exploring unexplored parts of town on the back of your single-speed drop-bar. You stop at closed businesses, frozen in time because they shut so quickly and haphazardly that if you went in, you'd swear you stepped through a portal to the past. But you don't have your lock and it's not a good area, you've been told that if you blink you'll find your ride stolen, so you imagine what lays inside, thinking, I, Lara Curtis, will one day enter these closed shops.
illustration of For an unpublished article about what happens when daycare services offered by employers suddenly become unavailable. This results in employees who are eager to keep their jobs being forced to stay at home, as well as the obvious disruption to finances and career trajectories.
illustration of It's been a long one on the road and you stop, stop anywhere, get gas, get food, get a rest from the endless trail of tail lights and nothing, and you find yourself in a rundown hamburger joint that hasn't seen this much action in years and while the town around it seems to be drying up like an old lakebed, the music playing over the soundsystem is hip enough to dance to and when that seems like the right thing to do to stretch your legs and work off the grease feast you shoved down your gullet.
illustration of Bettina and Maude pose in the bathroom at the diner they ate dinner at getting pumped for the house party they have ahead and assess each other's outfits wondering what the other is wearing would be better suited for themselves.
illustration of Louise lays down some wicked guitar licks in front of a wall of amps.
illustration of That Night They Rode Through a Region Electric and Wild As the party winds down, a group of friends hang out on the back patio enjoying the last shreds of the good times before everyone is either sent home or crashes, though some are a bit annoyed by the artist interrupting their chill time.
illustration of A group wanders out into the desert to discover where a motel sits and wonders if this is where they could stay or move on.
illustration of A trio enjoys a remote island with ruins of a past diety wondering what the horizon brings.
illustration of A strange yet stylish group waits for the bus and a strange group moves about their day as if nothing is strange.
illustration of The subway home, even this late at night, it's never empty, and passengers, while trying not to look at each other too directly, are still looking for companionship to weather the misery of the hour, even brief, they hope they will find a connection.
illustration of SOCIETY of ILLUSTRATORS of LOS ANGELES 63 AWARD WINNER — We Pursue Images Perceived as New but Whose Providence Dates to Dim Dramas of Childhood — Published in an editorial feature. A hip, hip lady with red hair wearing a colorful, flowing dress, poses in a doorway in an interesting way, the colors a mixture of 80s neon and 70s decor and fashion.
illustration of — Saturday night in the empty lot behind Waffle House in Apropos, Texas, 1982 — A group of 80s teenagers in the middle of nowhere Texas hang out on a Friday night doing what all kids who live in small towns do: take over an abandoned lot behind a Waffle House to party. Lots of tight jeans and cowboy hats and cutoffs and discarded beer cans.
illustration of Published in an editorial feature of the illustrator's work in Charleston Magazine. Richie and Margo lounge in a pool on old-school inflatable rafts, the water still, shadows falling deep to the bottom, quoting Bret Easton Ellis' Less Than Zero.
illustration of The four-member punk rock band, The Dangs, play in their favorite dive bar, Five Fingers Pick-Up, a quick set that includes their hit that tells the infamous story of Bud Dwyer and how he painted the room with the back of his head and the members of this band, as they move the room to their music, their bodies humming, all dressed in 70s aesthetic fashion with 60s and 80s flair.
illustration of We Only Care About Nugs, Chillin’, and Grindage A trio of skateboaders, sun-kissed and dressed in their coolest vintage outfits, pose beside a paper-scrap covered telephone pole with a post-modern house behind them, the colors that retro, 70s cool.
illustration of The coolest bunch of women drive their rockin' 70s Camero into the desert to see the arrival of the first summer storm just as the sun starts to set, burning the storm clouds pink as the day's heat seems the hottest, burning the colors with a good 70s sear.
illustration of — Have Courage to Lose Sight of the Shore — Published in an editorial feature of the illustrator's work. A young woman, the wind sweeping her hair this way and that, sits at the base of the mainsail mast, scanning the horizon, wondering if the direction she's heading, the seas nasty and growing nastier, is the right one, the downtime to think on her heading relaxful as she smokes a cigarette, the color palette as sun bleached as a photo left on a windowsill.
illustration of — Given the Choice Between the Experience of Pain and Nothing, I Would Choose Pain — A young woman contemplates her placement in the world and what it means for her future as she sits in her bathtub surrounded by the coolness of the past, her bathroom aesthetic that cool 70s that's only appreciated long after its gone, the colors yellow and brown and dark greens, a springtime autumn of sorts, like a thunderstorm over a changing field.
illustration of Published in an editorial feature in Allegory Ridge. Imagine two twenty-somethings with nothing to do on a Saturday afternoon finding a random set of steps to rest on after exploring the city. Mostly wandering with no plan, they sit taking in the scene, sniffing out the action, looking for their next move, acting cool thinking no one is looking, but everyone is looking and everyone wishes they could be doing nothing right along side them.
illustration of Winter never seemed as grueling when you're stuck in your throwback 70s apartment, the color scheme matching the cat that's slowly grooming itself on your dining table chair, the flooring a polished wood that gives a glimmer of coziness during the heavy snowfall as a young woman gets ready for bed, wrapped up in slippers and a good sweater.
illustration of A group of kids dressed in their best retro, 70s fashion take a break from their road trip in their throwback touring van in the remnants of roadside America, their relics rusting and falling apart, the signs crumbling, weeds pushing through the concrete underneath a washed-out sky.
illustration of A group of colorful characters in a wide range of outfits from a variety of eras pose for a group shot. Some are well known. Some are esoteric. Some are obscure or just strangers who happened to wander in. There are a lot of faces and it's up to you to know which ones you recognize.
illustration of Ellen Ripley, in full 70s futurism, goes up against the murderous xenomorph in 'Alien' that's decimated her crew aboard the Nostromo, hunting the creature instead of being prey right before she shoots it out of the airlock.
illustration of It's Winter, one of those winters where the sky is nothing but white and it blends into the horizon where the overcast lingers, teasing with more snow, Jesus, not more snow, life in this town shuts down with more snow, it's piling everywhere and all the shops are shut down and some folks are without power, but damn, it's good to take a walk where the cold air burns your lungs when you breathe in, your vintage 70s snow coat the coolest thing to have when everything else seems frozen.
