The Wild, Once

digital; 2011.
They danced down the streets like dingledodies, and I shambled after as I've been doing all my life after people who interest me, because the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones that never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!"

86'd Again [version 2]

digital; 2011.
it's kinda funny how the old friend from way back will pop up into one's head every so often. to Josh, who made involuntary exits an artform, Courtney Love a guiding light, & let this lame dork with a notebook tag-along on various stupid-sweltering nights.

I Know The City

2011; marker, color pencil, photo manipulation.
based on Undercity, which, if you've got half-an-hour, please check out. def inspired, enough to get the ball rolling for the year. much appreciation.
and because i can't just draw a picture and call it a day, here's the original drarring. i wanted to draw the image as a negative, with markers as much as possible, then inverse it on the computer for the final piece. i've got nothing better to do than add obstacles.
