"They were right to start digging, but they were only right to start digging in the game. Not out in the real world. Not in Kansas, in actual ground. I am so so sorry." - Sean Phillips, from 'Wolf In White Van'.
I've wanted to draw the characters from this book for so long, it's my favorite book, but there are no character descriptions other than Sean's disfigured face.
This book means alot to me. Sean, the main character does too. This isn't my best work, but I wanted to make something to honor this book. I will probably draw him again. :)
Here's another section from Sean's court statement. I want more people to read it this book
"I spent most of my teenage years in hospitals and physical therapy rehabs. It gets so lonely living inside your own head. Because of my face, I could not even wear headphones for listening to music. So I invented a world in the future and I called it the Trace Itailian. It was a place where I could have adventures, and when I grew up, I wanted to share those adventures with other people. I wanted specifically to share them with people like me, but I don't know any people like me. Most people like me are d**d."
"Trace Italian doesn't stand for anything in the real world, and I couldn't have guess anyone would think otherwise. I hardly know anything about the real world. What little I do know, I got from books and movies. I did not knowly send any young people to their d**ths. I would not, I couldn't. Please understand, it is a little strange to me to be defending something that was supposed to be a place where people could feel safe and have fun, where nothing ever really happens, except inside our heads."
