MCR. 2008. Watercolor on paper. 12" x 12".
Back in the day...I loved My Chemical Romance. But more so, I LOVED the album cover for Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge. The original cover was done by the frontman of the band, Gerard Way, and I recreated and enlarged it for a class I was taking. The visible emotion and use of red paint to convey the emotion fascinated me. The heart on the guy's forehead--could he be thinking and not feeling? And the use of red on the faces--why was there more red on him? Could he be casting his problems on her? This album began my interest in cover art and the meanings behind it.
