Richard Starkâs Parker: Snapshots from the Road â A Postcard Collection
This project is something I've wanted to put together for quite a while, and you may look at it as a roadmap of Parker's and Grofield's travels presented here in postcard and collage form. For fictional cities, I've opted to use the state instead, and for Slayground and Butcherâs Moon all available hints have been used to roughly determine the location of Tyler â a Midwest city with a hotel called Ohio House and an amusement park that may have very well been somewhat inspired by Cedar Point. Although many of the novels do feature multiple locations, I've only taken a few into consideration and expanded across several postcards for the ones where it is thematically or narratively relevant. The cover of the album where these postcards now reside has also been included, and the collage is presented in chronological order with one exception. (x)
