Thank you so much for doing this for me Sara!
Tegan and Sara loved this! When I went up to them Tegan was like “What do have for us?” and then I turned the canvas around so they could see the image and Tegan was like “WOW! Did you do this?” and I told her that my friend Sara did it and Tegan was like “Whoa! She did a really great job!” and then Sara touched the jawline area on the canvas and she was like “It looks so life like.” and Tegan looked at Sara and said to her “Almost like a photograph” and Sara nodded and then Tegan was like “Did you want us sign this or did you want us to have this?” and I told them that I wanted them to sign it and so they did and yep. Sara kept looking at it and then I had them sign other things and yep. Then before I said bye Tegan said “You have lovely artsy friends, tell your friend that she did an awesome job on it!”

An Illustration I did for Spook Magazine’s online interview with one half of Tegan and Sara.
Tegan says: “ It’s so funny because when Sara sent me this song, she co-wrote it with Jack from Fun, it just sounded like early Madonna to me, especially in the bridge. And to me, it’s such a weird song because it feels like such a party, but then when you start to listen to the lyrics it’s easily by far the darkest, most depressing song on the record. But when we were in the studio every time we would get to the breakdown between the chorus and the second verse, the producer Justin would make a shotgun sound, because it’s such a stalker song. We were like “Sara’s stalking someone outside their window” [laughs].”
Alexis says: “I just loved Tegan’s summary of the song being that of a creepy stalker tune cleverly disguised as a Madonna hit! Not since The Police released ‘Every Breath You Take’ has a stalker song been smuggled so flawlessly onto an album. My concept was derived almost entirely from this sentiment and my interpretation of the lyrics. The narrative I wanted to create was of a person, post relationship, who is struggling to let go. As the chorus kicks in we discover that this has turned into a rather crippling obsession, resulting in the stock piling of memories or any remaining possession that can link this person to their past. But then again, who doesn’t have a bubble gum statue of their ex in their closet, right? ….Right?”
