Wild Things again??

I'm trying to get the hang of Corel Painter, here's another project I did.  Wild Things are great to draw.  If your on the internet and see some unique art of Where the Wild Things are, you should let me know. 

P.S. For all of you wondering, my show went well.  I should have another one soon, this time in Provo.  I'll keep you posted for where and when it'll be.

Changes

I love digital media. I like working with illustrator specifically. I like how I can change something so quickly. I love screen printing as well. Here are two different color schemes I used for a Gogol Bordello poster that I made. The first are normal colors, and the second is kind of a Japanese color scheme I was thinking of. Gogol Bordello has so many different members of different nationality in their band, and I thought of how I would love to print this with so many different colors.

Also, if you ever get the chance to see Gogol Bordello live, TAKE IT! It is like a circus! They were so entertaining and had such an awesome stage presence!

Sketch Trivia II

Can you guess who this is? I think the mustache is a dead giveaway.

Comic Thursday?

Enjoy!

I Am The Walrus

I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together. Has anyone read these lyrics? What does Lennon mean in them? While researching it out I discovered that Lennon had taken three songs that he was writing and put them together while adding a bunch of nonsensical lyrics because he heard that a class from his old primary school was asked by their teacher to analyze and interpret the lyrics of The Beatles. He was also inspired mostly by the Lewis Carroll poem "The Walrus and The Carpenter." I remember this poem mostly from watching the Disney film Alice in Wonderland when I was a kid. It is recited by Tweedledum and Tweedledee. The walrus and a carpenter invite some oysters over and than the walrus eats them up. Lennon didn't know until later that the walrus was actually the villain of the story. I am the carpenter didn't sound as good anyways.

What does goo goo ga joob mean anyway? I always thought they were saying coocookachoo, which is what Simon and Garfunkel say in their song "Mrs. Robinson." I thought there was some connnection there, but I guess they both just threw them in their songs to make them flow better.

I don't think I'm the walrus. I think I might be an oyster.

Wednesday is Comic Day!

So a new tradition is starting.  Not one, but TWO posts a week, with Wednesday as Comic Day.  Enjoy!

Birds and Fish

Today I had a conversation about love with a young lady. It came up because her fish had died. One died a short time ago, and the other died today. I told her I was sorry, but it reminded me of another story. This is a particular sad story. When I was a kid we had two love birds. They played in their cage together all day long. One was yellow and the other blue. One morning we found the yellow one on the floor of the cage dead. The blue one hopped around her. I wondered if he knew what had happened to her. That night we heard him tweeting loudly and rushed to his cage to find him with his head in the little ladder. He killed himself. I was probably eleven of twelve when this happened. I was a little in shock about the whole thing.

Love is confusing. I don't think it's just about depending on someone else or not being able to live without that special someone in your life. We have all had love and suffered loss, and we are still here. There is so much to live for and so much happiness, love, joy in the world. I hope you see that in your life reader. Bless you! Now enjoy this love fish:

Kiss me!
