This Is Your Hometown

Some who made
good choices chose
to stay here or
to come back for
the sake of those
who stayed.
Poet’s Notes: Moving back to my hometown after many years away was such a strange experience that for a while I could write about nothing but it. “This Is Your Hometown” was first published (in a different form) in Flint Hills Review.
Artist Notes: When I was a kid, I always wanted to include every color of the rainbow in my art. Now that I've trained in actual illustration techniques I know that it is often best to use a limited color palette. However, I still sometimes try to include at least a hint of every color in my work. In this piece, I experimented with reverting to my old habits, while combining it with my newfound knowledge.
