I can't quite put into words just how exciting the experience of reading Francesca Lia Block's Weetzie Bat was for me. If I could, I'd have to be the author herself, for nothing can express her stories quite as well as simply going out and reading them.
Some might argue that the Weetzie Bat books aren't really fantasy, but I would argue right back that though they very much concern the here and now, they have an inescapable magic to them.
This pair was the first to pop into my head, fully formed, when I first imagined what I might do with this mural. They were also the first bit I drew, and I am especially pleased with how they turned out. I love their shoes, and the slinkiest Slinkster Dog I could conjure.
