Pot Pourri

As you may notice by some of my doodles, I am terrible with proportions and symmetry. I have a shaky drawing hand. I take way more time on drawings than they should actually take. But, I like doing it.

Also, I don't know how to finish pictures. Bear with me.

Rough Sketches

The tentacles were drawn in October 2011. I find myself drawing tentacles often for some odd reason. This weird attraction to drawing tentacles can also be found in the album art I created for the Luther Higgs' "Monologue" EP. I kind of wish I had put more effort into the album cover. I admit it is a little weak but we were desperate to get the EP out at the time.

The skull was drawn on October 13th, 2011 during Ashtray Heart's set at Katacombes. I have never been successful at drawing a skull with attitude. This is another attempt. I supposed it was partly inspired by the atmosphere of the venue and the music. It seems I was going for a modified Bret "The Hitman"Hart logo.

New Beginnings...

The idea of starting a blog to house my "art," for a lack of a better term, - be it drawings, poetry, music, whatever - has been lingering in the back of my head for sometime.   My chosen academic path and poor time management skills have left me little time to cultivate my creative side.  And so by starting this blog, it is my hope that I will devote more of my time to this end.

I have no formal background or training in art or music, which is apparent in the clumsiness in my various projects.  Many of my drawings arise from doodles drawn out of the sheer boredom of sitting through lectures in school. Many of the drawings I will be posting here may very well be those doodles.  Some are inspired by half-conscious visions in the moments before falling asleep.  Most are just rip offs from real artists.

I will try to post new drawings, random songs I've recorded etc. as frequently as possible and not let this blog fall by the wayside.

Thanks for checking this out.
