"I Dream The Midnight Midway"
|
A sharp stuttering of cogs shatters the silence of long deserted Thunderbolt
Amusement Park, as a coaster car lurches protestingly upward along loose and
rusted tracks.
With the acrid sizzle of frying insulation, a scattering of lightbulbs slowly
flickers on, competing with the moon to cast a pallid glow over the wreckage-strewn
midway. Suddenly an unseen loudspeaker begins echoing off the crumbling facades,
its scratchy circus music wavering towards full pitch, until it locks maddeningly
into a repeating groove.
"Who started the machinery? What's happening? Why am I here?"
Long silent "Laffing Sal" jerks into motion in the suddenly chill air, her
fiendish cackling a fingernail-on-slate counterpoint to the maddening sounds now
taunting you.
Wide-eyed, you turn and peer around. Were those figures at the freak show moving
just a moment ago?
Are the cars of the Horrorama Dark Ride starting to move as well?
And whose bony arms are waving above their heads as the coaster nears its first
big drop? Are you awake? Or in the grip of some bizarre nightmare? And if you are
(you wonder, frozen in your tracks), how can you awaken... NOW!
Like "The Invisible Man Will Not Be Seen Tonight", this was a complex painting. It was a "work in progress"
over the past several months as it went from pencil sketch to color sketch, to the
painting you see here. It involved dozens of sketches as I developed both story and image.
I Dream The Midnight Midway has been meticulously scanned from my original watercolor
and digitally printed with fade-resisting inks on specially treated heavyweight
watercolor paper. I personally inspect each print, sign it, slip it into its
protective clear plastic envelope, and include a page of helpful framing hints.
