Leaving
or
How I Left to Return
Jon Lee
"Does a new circumstance make a difference in the self-made stories I recycle?"
-- jotted in the margins of my journal on the date of July 8, 2005
The following images were created the day I left to return to Padre Las Casas, Azua, Dominican Republic.

One Dozen Super Heroes
Jon Lee
I like the idea of a town full of superheroes. A small, poor, rural town full of nothing but caped crusaders. Picking cofee, tending the chicken coop, milking cows. Everyone in a mask. Everyone with superpowers and a penchant for justice. It's absurd, and I love it.
[ed note: These drawing are more from Jon's set "Our Lady" that we began sharing last week. In short, Jon returned to the Dominican town of Padre Las Casas for the feast of Our Lady of Carmel. Drawing ensued.]

Our Lady
Sharpie drawings by Jon Lee
On July 8th I returned to the small town of Padre Las Casas in the southern Dominican province of Azua to celebrate the feast of Our Lady of Carmel -- the town's patron saint.
Two weeks earlier, over good bourbon and good vegetarian burgers, I accepted Rock Heals' offer of reporting on the festival.
Patron saint festivals in the Dominican Republic are marked by drunken revelry, domino playing and loud music. Being a good reporter, I immersed myself in the experience.
Armed with a black sharpie and recycled high rag content paper, I drew what I saw. The resulting series has less to do with Our Lady of Mount Carmen and more to do with rum and dominoes.
Oh, and super heroes.
