Whoaaa, finally.

I have been majorly slacking which is super dumb because I haven't been up to anything in a long while. I'll start off with the finished product for the Blackbirds/Eating Glass 10" that is no longer going to be released. It came out great and huge. I really want to make skate decks with it so stay tuned for that in the future.

1. They explored the field because there was nothing left (and they starved for empty spaces).

2. They walked until their feet fell and their bodies accompanied them. Down they went. At the same time their spirits rose and an overwhelming happiness struck. A happiness that cannot to this day be described.

3. "A medicine is yet to be found", "Were dying", "We live but feel like we're dying". We breathe because air is there, not because we're greatful for this lifetime gift certificate.

4. I would often look at the sky in hopes of having my spirit lifted and resurrected. Every time my spirit sinks lower. The longer I gazed into the atmosphere, the deeper my fallen and distorted body sunk. The depth of my location was so immense that I was no longer in this universe. I was gone. But I still exist.

5. The face was there but his spirit was absent. My mural staged on but the painting dripped like rain. A multicolored dream. Like a rainbow that is in constant motion. I looked at my reflection and I saw a monster. This had been my image since the beginning. Denial is beautiful. The truth is disgusting. I needed to hide. I needed to self destruct.

6. I'm a werewolf. My crew has left me. We won the battle but I failed a task so simple. I've become the very beast that was in all of us.

7. I can live with that.

Unfinished

I developed this character for a story that I was in the works of creating. It was basically about this guy, who wanted to kidnap the moon because he never got any recognition for anything, and everybody looked up to the moon for always being there, shining on the darkness, and everybody forgot about him.

Would be cool to finish some day, kinda lost the vibe I had then.

Star Distortion (of the body and soul) - 2005 or 2006

2008-10-02T09:41:00.000-07:00

"their eyes are circles and their border is a star. we all have our own borders. some are more distorted than others. our hearts speak to us and open up with words.

and our eyes bleed without showing pain or emotion.

our bodies begin to deform and we don't care. we develop cuts and tumors and yet we don't move. or blink.

it's silence all around. only the blood makes noise when it comes out as tears"

This is a mind fuck...

Sleepless Sketch.

Stayed up all night, was bored, did this.

"I didn't want to move but I was so cold and so hot at the same time that it was unbearable. And then I heard her scream. My ears started bleeding. Then I woke up. Nothing had changed.The blood was still there. And so were her screams."

Another random. Not new but whatever. New ones will be up soon. This is taken directly from my sketchbook.

Here are some other randoms I found. As usual (for now anyways), these are a couple years old. New shit (as usual) will be up soon.

This is something I did for Bitch, You Know What I Want (some band from around here). My little brother (Ivan) did the coloring on photoshop.

About divorce I guess.

I guess I thought at one point that would make cool tshirt...wow.

I can't find the original, but this is the final product after Ivan did some coloring on PS.

This was supposed to be for some shitty numetal band but they never used it. Once again I can't find the original but this is the final product after Ivan worked his magic on PS.

This was later used for a flyer, Ivan did shading on PS.

Did this during spare in high school 2003. Ivan colored Uncle Sam via PS.

Wow some of these are almost embarassing. Fun shows though...I guess...some...

I started a blog in the past but I never used it due to the fact I forgot my login information. But here's a new one.

As you can tell from the name of the blog, I will be posting my art (and other shit...). Here's some older stuff meanwhile I get new stuff done. It's been a while since I've done anything.

This was done a couple of years ago for my band Blackbirds and was to be used as a tour poster. Got my brother to do some coloring on photoshop and this was the final product:

I hand wrote all the dates with a tablet.
