This was one of those rare little drawings and words that creep up your spine with the autumn wind, daring you to wrestle them down onto paper. about 45 minutes, Papermate ballpoint pen and Micron 05. My Prismacolor brush pen was dying (well, all my pens are dying) so I dipped the tip in rubbing alcohol and “painted” with it. Some touchups were made in Photoshop to try to fix what the scanner distorted.
if you see an dead opossum in the road PLEASE check to make sure it’s not a momma with babies! it could be the difference between life and death for babies like these

Hawthorn-Mellody Farms was located in Libertyville, Illinois and ran from the early 1900s through 1970 (see Living History of Illinois and Chicago). In 1937, John S. Cuneo Sr. bought the farm and the Cuneo Mansion from Samuel Insull (see Cuneo Museum - Wikipedia).
Bottom:
Cuneo was also the founder of the Cuneo Press, where influential Chicago designer and typographer Burton Cherry was Director of Design and Typography.
