About the new site…

By • Nov 30th, 2008 • Category: Site News

The idea behind this was to allow myself to do music reviews and show off my original art. The art will consist of drawings, writings, music…anything original that I produce. The music reviews will by far be the forfront of this site, I don’t know if this has been done before, but I’m going to [...]



Not a Gamble

By • Nov 29th, 2008 • Category: Drawings

Well not much to say about this piece. I was in a weird place at the time, listening to a lot of Bright Eyes (I know…), it didn’t turn out to bad though. It’s kind of clever, if you go listen to the album “I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning” you can see the elements of [...]



The Books – The Lemon of Pink

By • Nov 29th, 2008 • Category: Featured Review

The Books may not sound like a familiar name, but I’m fairly certain you’ve heard their music. “That Right Ain’t Shit” was used as the soundtrack in an advertisement for a Hummer vehicle, and “Tokyo” was used in a commercial to spread awareness about HIV. So they are fairly well known considering Nick Drake gain [...]



The Acorn – Glory Hope Mountain

By • Nov 29th, 2008 • Category: Folk

The Acorn manages to mix Folk with Indie in a way that still manages to surprise me with each listen. While “Glory Hope Mountain” may not be a perfect album, I definitely hold it as one of the best releases of 2007. “Glory Hope Mountain” is The Acorn’s proper first LP release, but is their [...]



Sunset In The Summertime

By • Nov 28th, 2008 • Category: Drawings

This one always reminded me of “The Big Lebowski” for some reason…I think it is because the naked girl on the trampoline…yes…she is supposed to be naked. I was listening to Conor Oberst’s solo album while drawing this one. I was pretty bored that night and surprisingly this one took a while for me to [...]



I’m 20, But Not For Long

By • Nov 27th, 2008 • Category: Originals

I actually forgot what the inspiration for this was. All I can remember is it was going to originally be a woman in a dress (look between the eyes). I did this at Barnes and Noble, it kind of reminds me of Max from “Sam & Max”.



Stories Within the Sounds

By • Nov 27th, 2008 • Category: Originals

I’m gonna be completely honest here, I was hanging out with a couple friends…and they were stoned, when I told them that I have been trying to draw recently. I had also told them that I had been in a rut for awhile and didn’t really have any new ideas. We then proceeded to throw [...]



Forgetfulness the 8th Forgotten Sin

By • Nov 26th, 2008 • Category: Music

I had been listening to a lot of John Lennon’s solo work again, and I decided I wanted to create something like his “My Mommy’s Dead”. Forgetfulness the 8th Forgotten Sin – Click the play button above to play!



River Through the Trees

By • Nov 26th, 2008 • Category: Music

I was on a Frank Zappa kick…plus I was bored. I really don’t know what else to say about this…see if you can hear the Zappa homage there. River Through the Trees – Click the play button above to play!



Rashomon

I had actually watched the Kurosawa film for the first time about 3 weeks prior to recording this. I still need to read the book however….Enjoy! Rashomon – Click the play button above to play!
