Instead of representing a natural storm, I chose the scariness of an emotional storm expressed by Calvin’s parents due to any number of his indiscretions. It was easy to find examples of them angrily responding to something Calvin had perpetrated. And, after lengthy research, I found a single example of Calvin expressing possible penance over some undoubtedly outrageous incident. For the storm, after searching through many images and textures, I happened upon the swirling pattern in a yellow arrow painted on the cement floor of a parking garage. Through Photoshop this became the swirling storm cloud. I created the small red house from sheet metal, placing Calvin in it looking out in seeming trepidation. I gave this piece to a family friend who had weathered a difficult childhood.
