About the poster:
The image refers to her, song "Deep Red Bells"
on her latest album called Black Listed. The song is about the Green
River Killer. She was ten or so growing up in Tacoma when the killings
started in the town of Auburn, about 15 miles from hers. She was caught
up in the paranoia as a kid, making sure to never be alone with out
being accompanied by someone. He was recently caught after avoiding
the police for some 20 years.
I did a little research and I made the Truck
the make and model of the one the Green River Killer used to lure prosititutes
to their demise. I took liberty with the color, making it red, instead
of having some gorey hand sticking out of the water.
There's a quote from her song in text on the
river bank in the poster. It reads:
"He lead you to this hiding place, his lightning
threats on silver tongue. Red Bells beckon you to ride, hand print on
the driver side. It looks a lot like engine oil and tastes like being
poor and small and popsicles in Summer."
