Phyllis, Don't Wear the Rings

don't look at me

Lucky Strives

By Webster's definition this is definitively, defiantly an example of progress. It's slightly less mistake-ridden. I am progressing.

Manic Inertia

I sometimes wonder



















Whether I have the Gumption, sheer Verve or the Nerve
















To quit with the fidgeting, wavering and weaving. The longer I wait, the madder the dash

Drawings, n'est pas?

I haven't drawn anything in about two years. The only subjects I am capable of drawing are people. According my artist friends, people are the hardest things to draw. Mind you, I draw somewhat decently. I might get back into it this summer. I just need a good subject to draw.

Scarlett Johansson was the first person I ever attempted to draw. As you can see, I can't do shit with hands. It's screwy but I got an A on it in my art class.

I'm quite proud of my Quentin Tarantino. My art teacher loved it and had it hung at the district office, which was amusing to me since this man makes a living making movies about people killing each other in cold blood with dialogue infused with the word "fuck" every other word. The ear could have been done a lot better.

A friend of mine who resides in Austin, TX. I had to do a drawing of a friend for a project, and felt comfortable drawing someone hundreds of miles away from me. That, and it's nice drawing someone who bares a strong resemblance to Clive Owen. He liked it so much he put it as his profile pic on his Myspace (This was back in 2007). I have the least amount of qualms with this drawing, but obviously it still needs a lot of work.

I drew this back in my freshman year of college. I was obsessed with Ian Curtis. Still kinda am. Too bad my scanner is fucking cheap--makes the drawing look worse than it is.

Evil Woman I (Throw My Hands Up)

Another lesson learned: Don't delete video files before you're absolutely positive you won't want to re-edit the video. So I have to leave this one as is, overlong Debbie Drake segment and all.

samples: Evil Woman (Black Sabbath), Corpus Christi (Avengers), I Wish You Love (Blossom Dearie), Make Me Feel Better (Fabolous) Outside Love (Brethren), Girl From Ipanema (Astrud Gilberto & Stan Getz)

Zine thing

More on that story later. Grammatical and everything.


Incidentally, I would love to go back in time to, say, the eighties and blow all the 'zinesters away with my tubular future 'zine and print tech. So if anyone out there working on that kind of thing can hook me up that'd be really great. I've often considered a career in loaning myself out to super science experimentation.

When The Eyes Get Wise

Aggravating day. Here, have some eye.

Nicki Stanwyck

That was fun.

Nicki Minaj sketch done by Un Willing. Lingerie shot for King Magazine, scanned and watermarked by egotastic. At least one still of Barbara Stanwyck from Double Indemnity. The rest? Internet is not forthcoming on the subject.
