Breakfast

Friday, November 30th, 2007

I woke up this morning and began preparing a small breakfast for myself. I poured some Honey Bunches of Oats into a bowl and set a glass next to the bowl in which I was going to pour some orange juice into. In order to keep maximum crunch in my cereal, I was going to […]

Fifth Painting Class

Friday, November 30th, 2007

In this week’s painting class, we focused on brainstorming our “Final project.” I spent the class drawing ships. I’m actually pretty happy with how this turned out. I can’t wait to attempt to paint it, hopefully it turns out to not disappoint. The sketching was all done by me. My buddy Roby Fitzhenry digitally colorized […]

You’ll see some shots from my parent’s house with the nephew Owen, you’ll see some shots from the Power’s backyard Thankgsiving night around a campfire, you’ll also see some shots from Eric and Cliffie’s apartment. It was a great break from the usual.

An old Math project - X’s and Y’s mp3

Monday, November 26th, 2007

The funny thing about taking general education courses at The Art Institute is that they’re a joke. In my Algebra class, we were to create any kind of art using math. As a musician, I chose to write a song. It’s the story of X and Y. Below you’ll find the lyrics, I’ve bolded all […]

Below you’ll find an mp3 of my newest creation, which is titled “Steady.”

[audio:Steady.mp3]

LYRICS

Steady now, settle down
I sing to the foreign object I have found
It’s buried just inside my chest
Don’t you fret
We will be seeing her again
My little beating blood-red friend

I’ll try to get some sleep
I know I need the rest
I’ll even close my eyes
And lay […]

Fourth Painting Class

Wednesday, November 21st, 2007

Last night’s focus in painting class was on watercolors. I don’t know if I’ve ever used watercolors before, but I had fun with them. What I learned was you really need to take it slow. Very little paint mixed with quite a bit of water. I painted a willow tree (which I don’t think I’m […]

LYRICS

And I’m in need of a distraction
And I’m not sure what just happened
And all I know, so I’ve been told
Is I need someone I can hold

When it gets dark and kind of lonely
My thoughts, they spark and then […]

Hung some James Jean prints on my walls

Wednesday, November 14th, 2007

I bought these prints earlier this year and hadn’t done anything with them. I just left them sitting in their protective plastic wrapping. Well, my walls were looking a bit bare, so I took my buddy Roby with me to Hobby Lobby and we spent about 30 minutes picking out frames as well as the […]

My Weekend Adventures

Tuesday, November 13th, 2007

Friday after work I rushed out to Austin to spend some time with some friends that were there. I went straight to Dave’s, then we headed to Crown & Anchor. It’s a pretty cool place with pool tables, dart boards, and good music. My friends being there made it even cooler than it already was. […]
