Said the Guests some more: Katy Horan

When we invited Katy Horan to make pictures of some of her favourite music, she wrote back a couple of weeks later to say that the first song to draw was obvious - it was Devendra Banhart's "Mama Wolf", - but that she needed time to cook and simmer before choosing the others. And so this is what we did. She drew-and-painted-and-glued "Hey Mama Wolf", we posted it, and then we left things to stew.

And then this week Katy wrote to say that the stew was finished cooking and the carrots were soft and look - look! Two pictures and two songs. The first picture is full of excitement and small voices, of momentum and stable recollection. And the second image is still & tender; all the whimsy like a fur coat to shelter a rawer, sadder, and less certain spirit.

Thank you, Katy. -- Sean

O Brother Where Art Thou? had it wrong--Gillian Welch can sing like a siren, but she's actually a goddess.

I like the muted colors and the whimsical perspective in your art.
