"Seems like your heart stops working
The minute they close the curtain
And take off your mask
And take off your costume
And if anyone asks you're taking a smoke break
Drinking some coffee
But everyone knows what you're doing
Seems like the bus moves slower
Just cause you got somewhere to go
So you take a few pills in Beverly Hills
But if anyone asks you've got a prescription
You got an addiction
Who do you think that you're fooling

John Doe, I just want the John I know
Once you put the drinks on hold
Maybe you could come back home
John Doe, ooh oh oh oooh
Oooh oh oh ohooh oooh
Oooh oh oh ohooh oooh"

John Doe - B.o.B. & Priscilla

RECORD DRAW HERE YAY

This piece started out as a doodle cause I really liked this song and wanted to draw to it, then I decided to record myself drawing it just so I could see the image with the song. It's not perfect and is very unrefined, but I actually really like how it turned out, minus some of the errors.

Anyway, backstory time! As I have mentioned here and there, Linda's mother had a long-term illness and eventually succumbed to her disease around the time Linda was 11 or 12. Linda handled the situation seemingly well considering her age, but George did not take it quite as well. He partially blamed himself for her death because he was unable to get her the medical treatment she needed, despite the fact the disease had no cure anyway and in truth there was nothing he could have done about it even if he wanted. The stress of having to take care of his daughter alone, along with just being generally heartbroken at his wife's death, he fell into a deep depression for many years. This was very troubling for Linda, who essentially had to grow up at a young age so she could take care of him.

ALSO! Before people point it out: the mouths are NOT a big smiling grin like it first appears; it is actually a series of panels lined across their face and the corners manipulate to show emotion. When they speak the panels blink. They don't have an ACTUAL mouth like we know, except that they can ingest liquids through a slit in the front panels of the mouth. I theorize the pills in front of him would be dissolved in a liquid for ingestion since they can't take in solid foods of any kind.
