oakland
I went to oakland this past weekend and meant to draw a lot more than I did. Here is my one sketchbook page. The happy face is courtesy of John Mathis. Or Brynn Metheney. I can't remember who drew it.

never admit it's your last stand!!
after months, and months, and months, and even more months of recording, my band Swordfights finally finished and released our first full length "Never Admit it's Your Last Stand". I did the artwork for the record...here it is!!
The second pressing (which will be in late April/early May) is going to be in color...
You should totally go to our myspace page and listen to some tracks...If you check out the back cover image, you'll see the 'copyright significant cities 2009'...Significant Cities is the label we're going to be releasing all the Swordfights music under, and I'll also be using it as a publishing umbrella for my own (and hopefully some other people's) artwork. I'm working on some pieces for it now so hopefully I'll have those up within the next week or so. Thanks for reading.

a first time for everything
it took some coercing but i've finally joined the blog community. i'm taking the current term off art center so i've been spending a good chunk of my free time in drawing workshops and late nights on campus drawing with friends.
i had a bunch of work from the first 3 weeks of work-shopping i was going to put up; it was all more classical-ish type drawing, and while i think it's some of the better stuff i've produced in a while, i started doing the following drawings over the last week and like them all a million times better.
i just used a regular pen but i'm really happy with the results...i feel way more comfortable with this method of drawing than i suspected i would. it's kind of scarey since it requires more patience & bold linework and i'm usually really loose and sketchy, but i'm really enjoying it.
also, my band swordfights uploaded some new music to our myspace page. enjoy.
p.s. the rest of these drawings are on my myspace page, which has non-swordfights music as well.
