Mellon Collie - Beeblebum
wounded war veteran with PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) / non-profit organizer

Trying to buzz through life optimistically but finding it a challenging flight, it's a struggle for Mellon Collie right now on Lollipop Hill. Ever since he returned from war, life's never been the same. He doesn't feel like himself or know how to adjust. Now, his wings are permanently damaged. He'll live with bandages for the rest of his life & never fly the same. In search of a fuller life, he's starting an online non-profit organization where's he's reaching out to other veterans with PTSD. His non-profit helps those get the proper attention needed through natural remedies, not just an up in prescription dosage to numb the pain. Eventho he's making progess...still, he crys at night for the war he had to fight.

Mixed media on wood cut out. Added textures are bandages, bullets (empty), & military badge (on body) made out of pet bandaging tape. Dimensions - 10'' x 10'' x .5''
