Honey, I’m Home is a multimedia (pen, ink, gel pen, watercolor and gouache) drawing on watercolor paper approximately 10” x 12” . It was made in the Spring of 2018 by Amos Lemon as he left (against medical advice) a residential treatment center for drug and alcohol use and dually diagnosed mental illness. It was made partially during the brief period where he was drug-and-alcohol free, and then as he began to use again. The Altoids box was where he stored Xanax and there is an image of a pill near the bottom, along with two spoons, two forks and two cups that he packed for his journey. Overlapping faces float in a layer above the main figure, which is a self-portrait. His Jeep is on the winding road and an airplane crosses the sky, as he journeyed to make a new “home” with his girlfriend.

The original was photographed in high resolution on a digital large format camera by Simone Associates. This giclee digital print was made on archival paper. Ink will eventually fade in direct sunlight.
