Love Sucks Love

Love Sucks Love (Somberly Sarcastic Melodrama but Trying Hard to Smile) is a new body of work focusing on characters that are less than ideal and the relationships that affect them. They are normal, regular, average people living with a perpetual identity crisis. They live in a removed, fantasy-like turmoil; their lives are nearly perfect and equally pathetic. They experience love, awkwardness, and other “stuff ”.
