I kinda got sucked into the whole hype around the Hunger Games movie. I bought the book and plan on reading it as soon as i’m done working on the Namesake book. Aka March second.

At work, a young girl was looking for the Hunger Games books. She asked for the “Hungry Games”. It’s a French bookstore, so people get the English names wrong all the time. I handed her the book and she said she though the title was “hungry” because it seemed to her like the games were eating all the participants.

That made me want to draw sorta this… experimental or symbolic version of what the hunger games are to me, right now. At this moment, I haven’t read the books or seen the movie. All I know if what I see passing around on the internet (fanart, previews, fan videos, etc). So, this is basically my fanart of what I think the Hunger Games will be like, emotionally, before I get to read a single page. 

I think I should do another set of drawings once i,m done with book one. 

For now, enjoy.

Oh, and check out Faith Erin Hicks site for a gorgeous comic interpretation of the first couple of pages of the first book. Wowza.
