Therefore it stands to reason that the only other way of destroying my music theory book is by bludgeoning it with my flute.



....I need to post stuff that takes me more than 2 minutes to draw... ah well.

Since I wanted to post something every week, I figured I should try and show a progression of one piece so that I could focus on getting my ideas refined instead of settling for quick sketches. After all, that's what I started this for, right?
This is just something I caught myself doodling on my computer last Sunday after I read something in a very special book :)

Just a quicky, but I've been thinking it's funny recently that while studying music theory we learn many many MANY rules about correct music format etc, blah blah blah, and it makes my head spin because there are so many possiblities...and then I go home and study and realize that everything looks different, but usually they all end up sounding just like IV to V to I. so as long as I follow that format...I'll probably do ok :)

ha ha - guess who? Since I am a lazy bum this week, no new art...sorry...
but this is one of my favorite assignments from junior-high. We had to do a self portrait in an unusual way and I chose to do mine with ink and the eraser on my #2 (pencil). It's all done with stippling the ink on with different amounts of pressure. I sound like I know what I'm doing - don't be fooled!!!

Yes - it's true: I am over 20 years old, and I still love watching saturday morning cartoons. I watch a Disney movie at least every two weeks, and admit to liking comic books. Yay me! Most of the time when I watch movies now I like to sketch expressions. Disney is especially easy to imitate because the emotional impressions are so exaggerated hee hee... so here's a few doodles. Hopefully you can tell what they're from...


This one is a little pathetic - I don't usually draw with pens...so the proportions are different than what I wanted in the first place, but I really like Cap'n Hook's hair, so I decided to show it :) heh heh

Aladdin being either seriously confused, angry, or caught in mid-song.


Yay! This is my favorite Disney movie - I love all the crazy animals they put together to make the coolness that is the Beast.

I started doing these "ransom note" collages last year. It was somewhat of a hobby for me when I was in junior high to take interesting pictures from magazines and put them together to make something new, and I thought it would be fun to do it again.
This one is a portrait of a favorite book character and contains about 30-35 separate pictures. There are tons of mistakes, but I kinda like it that way.
I like hiding personality traits in there -10 in this particular one- see how many you can find! Example: he has a "screw loose" hee hee...

Thanks Corbis photostock and google image search for some of the photos and paintings!

yep > it's the TICK. For some reason I almost always think of the Tick whenever I see the statue widely known as "The Thinker". It's probably just because he's rediculously buff. ah well - till next time remember:

"Spoon boy: Do not try and bend the spoon. That's impossible. Instead... only try to realize the truth.
Neo: What truth?
Spoon boy: There is no spoon.
Neo: There is no spoon?
Spoon boy: Then you'll see, that it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself. "

This was a photo I took about three years ago when we went to Yellowstone. Normally I don't really show any photographic intellect, but every once and a while, like this one, I get lucky with the lighting.
