No, I'm not visiting Boise. I just did a small series riffing on Hunter S. Thompson and imagined him going to Boise instead of Las Vegas. I think he would have needed some stronger drugs.
I also kicked off a new series of "Mothman goes to..." that was inspired by "Fear and Loathing in Boise."
Notice all of the images feature the Idaho State Capitol building. There just isn't much else iconic about Boise that you can put in a design. I toyed with adding some potatoes, but I went the high road and stuck with the Capitol Building.
I remember going on field trips to the Capitol Building when I was in grade school. Pretty much the most fascinating thing to my young self was this story of a guy cleaning the highest point inside the Capitol dome and falling to his death on the marble floors below. Not sure if it was true, but it was a lot more interesting than the Idaho Legislature chambers.
So far I've got designs with Mothman going to Boise, Seattle, New Orleans and Hollywood. I actually have two for New Orleans, one for Mardi Gras and one for the French Quarter.
I've got one in the works for Las Vegas. I'm trying to decide where else to take him. The garment district in New York seems like someplace he'd really like.
