clumsy

I was a little stumped with this week's Illustration Friday topic, clumsy. All I could think of was a giraffe tripping over (don't ask me why, there must be some psychology behind that, let's not investigate.).

Then, while listening to my trusty ipod, came "I feel Jesus in the clumsiness of young and awkward lovers" sung to me by The Hold Steady in Citrus. What a great line!

It got me thinking about all the Bella and Edward teenage wanabee's you see everywhere these days. I've seen them on trains, at the beach, shopping centres, all romantically intense and overly affectionate. And while they're walkin' the walk, and talkin' the talk, so to speak, that "clumsiness of young and awkward lovers" still peeps through.

Now available as a sweet valentines day card in my Etsy Store!

P.S. That song ends with the line "I've had kisses that make Judas seem sincere". Great huh?
