Julie Melton's series of drawings, entitled Honey Pot, Check Yourself, and The Mother- fucker Everyone is Talking About, obsessively expose and fragment incidents both spectacular and mundane, combining to create verbose and witty outbreaks unleashing unpredictable chain reactions.

Her text and images, appropriated from conversations on subway platforms, wrestling magazines, opera, and children's science books, exist in a non-linear world where time swallows its tail and viewers follow.
