My Bob Ross Attempt.

Seascape.

My mom and I would always watch The Joy of Painting with Bob Ross and I've always loved how he would just crate things out of pretty simple ideas. This is my first painting doing the Bob Ross style or under his wing in a way. Anyways, I tried my hardest to copy what Bob Ross was doing with Corel Painter Eleven and I know it isn't perfect, but I just got to work at it a bit more. I've been really trying to push my painting abilities with Corel Painter and the last few paintings I've been quite pleased with them.

So one day, I will be able to paint just like Bob Ross.

Hi!

This is a pretty old drawing. I was about sixteen or seventeen when I drew this up, but this drawing was such a epic in class bored out of my mind drawings. I remember starting with the teeth and the face when I was in class and then I kind of just got carried away with it. about a week later I finished it. I remembered my mom checking it out and found it kind of odd in a good way.

My Favorite Meal.

At Hot Topic they have these big ass pins that have poop and toilet paper and it says friends forever at the bottom. I've always like those kind of style, like peanut butter and jelly together or that guy from youtube Julian Smith, jellyfish. That shirt is also at Hot Topic. Anyways, Mac & Cheese has to be one of my most favorite meals at the moment. Mostly because it's 50₵ a box, so I always buy 10 for $5. I always eat a box per sitting. That's pretty much how I've always eaten Mac & Cheese.

Marcel (The Best Cat In The World).

I just finished a pretty hardcore painting. It's of Marcel, the best cat in the world. It took a few days to finish it up and it still doesn't look perfect. But, it does look nice and pleasing.

The Best Cat In The World.

The painting is of him sleeping right next to me on my bed while I was on the computer. The light source is the computer screen. I couldn't really figure out what to paint or draw so I just decided to paint him and see if I could do it. During this paint session, he probably changed sleeping position about 7 times and all of them were so adorable. I love that cat so much.

Three reasons why Marcel is the best cat in the world.

1. He can kill Squirrels.
2. He can jump through windows to catch a bird.
3. He can snuggle with you like a pro.

Standing In The Rain.

I drew this awhile back in Two Thousand and Six and I was just now trying to name it for this post and thought of the song Standing In The Rain by Billy Talent. Ever since Billy Talent came out, I fell in love with Ian D'Sa the guitarist. I've always been pumped to hear a new album from them because I think Ian plays his guitar in the coolest way. It reminds me of a blues guitarist, where they would play rhythm and lead at the same time, but Ian does it 10 times better. There is countless of songs where he plays lead type melodies while playing the rhythm.

I remembered destroying my ink brush inking this, but I felt it was worth it. Anyways enjoy.

Heart.

Kial (The GF) has been drawing in a style where you draw a box and draw something in it. Again she is in school for this art stuff and I've been picking up on some of her ideas. So, I made this real quick with pencil and water colour. Digital of course, because I'm a hipster and can't afford paints and water colours. I use Corel Painter Eleven for most of my digital art work. It's grand!

I Gotz Moneyz (Like A G).

I just got $75 in the mail for making the Funeral and A Good Time video for my father. Thanks Daddy-O! Lame to have your first paying gig and have your father pay you, but... hey you gotta start somewhere. So today is a memorable day, I am a paid artist for the first time ever. Again, the video was a donation and my father could have chosen to pay anything or nothing at all.

But yeah, I have decided that everything I do artistically will be free. I don't really like putting a price on my music or art. Plus, I love free things, free things fucking rule, like a wedding. You get so much fucking great free food. JACKPOT!

But, you can donate, just like my father donating $75 for the video. Fuck Yeah!

Scout.

So anyways, This was a quick all nighter comic book style drawing I did of one of my friends a few months ago. I really like the style of it. There's a few more drawings I've done in that 3 day all nighter drawings, I'll probably post those up pretty soon.

The Ramones & Imagination.

This was my very first very detailed drawing. The first I really worked with shading with a pencil. It's not very good, but again it was my first. Anyways, I just really enjoy this drawing and proud that it was my first detailed drawing. I remember my friend Tyler was such a better artist then me and I just needed to be as good as him. It's a lot like how I picked up the guitar. My friend Tina could play Blink-182 and Green Day songs, so I just had to play the songs she played and then I would meet another friend and they would be better then what I could do. I'm very nice about it and I don't get all cocky over it, I guess after playing sports for so long the competitive need hasn't left me.

Right now, Art and Guitar wise, it will take me years of more practice to get as good as I want to be. But, I will never give up and I will keep at it until all the things I can imagine can be put drawn on paper or played on a guitar.

Short Sleeve T Shirts.

These are all of my short sleeve t's. Being a guitar player, I think every musician should have a nice collection of music and graphic t's. It's a real bummer that last year after breaking up with my ex, I lost a lot of awesome t's. I've replaced most of the music t's, but I really do miss some of the graphic t shirts I had. Now that I work at Hot Topic and have an awesome 40% discount, I've been getting some music t shirts to add to my collection. One day when ever I am playing on stage with my kick ass band, I will have tons of awesome t shirts.

I feel that every musician should wear mostly music t shirts and they should never wear their own bands shirt. Because sometimes it can make some unknown musicians big, like the story with Daniel Johnston. Kurt Cobain was wearing the now famous Hi, How Are You Alien.

 This photo of Kurt wearing this t shirt helped get Daniel Johnston pretty well known in the music biz. It's pretty crazy what one shirt can do.

I'm Crying.

When I was living in a small town in Texas with my grandparents, I drew this up and put it into photoshop. I'm also thinking of putting it on a shirt.
