Self Portrait - The Double



Self Portrait - Light


Playing catch-up, Fun with video!



I'm kind of playing catch up here. Once I upload the majority of stuff in my portfolio that I like, THAT's when this place will become a stream of up-to-date art, music, etc. from myself. Though you can definitely expect a "Hey, look what I found!" post every now and then. As for now, I just want to share my recent ventures into video. Hopefully within the next week or two, I'll be posting brand new pieces, which isn't very far fetched since I'm fully engaged in the Spring semester right now.

Here's me painting a portrait of one of my favorite musicians - Chris Corner, aka IAMX. The quasi-finished piece can be seen above.

Valentine's Day playlists



During Valentine's Day 2009 I created these two playlists (one for lovers, one for lonely hearts) spent too much time on them, but had fun doing it. By sharing it this year, I'm partly justifying all that time I spent simply arranging songs I liked. I'm glad I saved it.

You'll see a lot of repeat artists, but that was to create some parallels between the two mixes... and it should tell you how much I like some of these bands. If you're bored, look up any of them. One way or another they all get my seal of approval.

FYI, the "Gasmask Romance" image at the top is this sketch I've had for a while that I really like. It came close to being a finished, colored piece at one point, but as you can see, it didn't quite make it. Still, I like it enough to share. The other tiny guys are doodles of mine that I threw in for fun.
