How often do we say words that we don't mean? We might mean them to be true. Our hearts might be honest in speaking words of hope, love, care and encouragement; but how often do we say words without thinking? We say cliches and phrases; things that have become automatic to us. "How are you?" "God Bless." "Love you." But our heart and love is truly not behind the words we say. Our minds and hearts do not connect.

We have become robotic.  

Self - Protrait

I got a new book giving you ideas on how to use different types of mixed media to make "spill journaling" art works.

I took one of the ideas given in the book and tweaked it to my style.

The person is made out of old journal entries and random drawings. The journal entries were written in different hard times of my life.

The wording at the top reads: "Lift the Darkness."

Stars Go Dim vs. SGD Promo Team

I don’t know how I get myself dragged into these projects, but I do – ha.

A request from Sly:
Sly wanted me to draw her a picture of the band Stars Go Dim (SGD) vs the SGD Promo team. With captcha code (a MySpace promo teamer’s worse nightmare), raccoons and a squirrel.

So I came up with the SGD vs SGD Promo Team Dance Off! All the band members are on the left (Chris, Joey, Lester and Michael) and the promo team is on the right (Sly, Cheri, Paula, Eric and me). With an audience in the front watching (raccoons attend dance off’s if you didn’t know).

And we’re all playing captcha dance (it’s like DDR but with captcha code)!


PS – I don’t like drawing faces, that’s why everyone is ‘faceless.’ And I love the fact that Sly is smaller than everyone else; ha ha. And I needed a bigger canvas...

Tools: pencil, water color, paint, markers, sharpies and pen.
