Jail Art (reverse side)

While in Central Virginia Regional Jail, Chris drew jail art as commissions for customers or for Praetor to sell online. Some customers have noticed that the reverse side of the art has titles of the art piece, or an Artist's Note by Chris explaining his thought process with the art.

Customers have also noticed that, since the jail art was drawn on the backs of official CVRJ paperwork, the reverse side of the art contains information such as Chris's account balance. Sometimes the information was scribbled over with pen, but still remain legible.

Wedded Schultzes

Wedded Schultzes is a piece of jail art Chris drew on 29 June 2022. The drawing was accompanied by an artist note, written on a piece of paper which was a receipt showing Chris's commissary balance. The information pertaining to the commissary had been scratched out with pen, but still remain visible.

Notes

The heading reads

• 041985 : CHANDLER, CHRISTINE W

• Location: MEDICAL CVRJ 03 03

On 05/31/2022, Chris purchased six Popcorn ($.90 each for a total of $5.40) and one Natural Fiber ($9.95).

Chris's balance after the purchases is unclear due to the scribbling which seems to read $468.15.

Artists Note: For Reference, more than 99% of ALL Sonichus and Rosechus are standing at 3 feet 5 inches (not counting the ears. TALL Sonichus and/or Rosechus are Uber Rare, and thinking of the scale in height, even while levitating myself in the event, was a bit of a headache. Anyway. Bless you both, I do. Be happy, safe, and well with love.

An Honest Self-Portrait from June, 2021

Artist's Notes: I've pondered how to properly draw the self-portrait of Barbara upon receiving the commission description recently. I've opted for an Honest piece reflecting past-tense emotions that were still present. I had foreknown of mine and Barbara's separation two months, less than, later and the betrayal circumstances. But, essentially, regardless of her past emotional manipulations and whatnot, I still cared and had patience when it came to tending to her care. Yet I could not escape emotions that she and I had already were drifting apart. And that had become more clear over the past year with her worsening handicaps and lethargy. I've realized, despite my efforts with her, she had become an emotional burden even moreso than before and was holding me back. But ultimately, to return to better progress, work and life, I have had to make the hard emotional choice to let her go. I've wept while writing this.
