A while back my dogs raided my book shelves and annihilated my copies of "Hush", a Batman mini-series. Mini, meaning a year long storyline. This was my favorite series done with the Dark Knight, mainly due to the artist Jim Lee. Well my beloved pups thought it would be more fun to cut the bat down. Over, and over and over again. Pretty much ripped all of them to shreds. I couldn't really be mad, I mean they're dogs come on they do shit like that. In turn what I saw were a bunch of clippings of violent actions both in comic story form and in a complete destructive manner. I gathered them all up and scanned or photographed these pieces of broken violent narratives.
Well it's funny how history repeats itself. I left out a few comic books of old to go through for some drawing inspiration, and the dogs struck again. So now it's back to not only re-contextualizing their destruction, but keeping the books out of reach.
