Pages 28 & 29 :This is all about my love of the dust bowl era, I know that seems and unfortunate time in our history for which to express a fondness, but I do. For those of you have have seen the HBO show "Carnivale" which ran for a mere 2 seasons, you'll maybe see why I appreciate the time. This was the dawn of the gangster age as well as being a grifter breeding ground due to the desperate landscape. So you had the traveling carnivals, and the shifty mafia - which is the style marriage I have on these 2 pages. The darkness and whimsy, the conspicuous consumption and the costumes for the show... Some timeless themes were born amongst the dust.
