"Pixie" Added to Sheezy Art!


"Pixie" has been added to my Sheezy account. The style is very much the same as "Marine" and I think I will continue to use it for these Life Drawing excersies. We did do two drawings of Jocelyn this time around and other one drawing is a Mermaid sorta creature (I have to get out of the whole wings thing). Hopefully in the next classes I might start to add feathers and manipulate the faces and arms to something more out of this world.

But who cares about that, check out this Mindless Self Indulgence digital drawing that I stumbled upon in Sheezy today! Oh snap, that has got to be the best MSI fan art I have ever seen.

"Marine" Added to DeviantART!


A new drawing called "Marine" has been added to
DeviantART and has been getting some positive feedback. Even scored me a watch.

Anyway, I'm seriously dissappointed in the Offspring fans over in Australia who (for whatever fucking reason) can't seem to get a recording of "Hammerhead" or the new song "Half-Turism" from the Soundwave Fest they've been playing lately. Instead we have a dozen YouTube videos of "Come Out and Play", "Bad Habit", and "Want You Bad".. the same fucking songs we've been listening to for years and years and years! ..and with all these iPhones, smart phones, and camera's that jack you off, you still can't get any kind of recording of these new songs?! Fuck.. any other Mainstream Rock Band fanbase would have had 320kpbs mp3s and videos all over YouTube by now! There's a battle at Offspring BBS on why Australian fans suck. But whatever.

Here's hoping Trent Reznor's March 1st update is worthwhile, cause over here in Offspringland, things are pretty embarassing.

Hangin' with the Teenies!


Oh those silly Cobras, they put up on quite the party last night when their "The Really, Really, Ridiculously, Good Looking Tour" (I didn't make that up, that's the name) rolled into Austin. The tour was one for the ladies, as they were cearly the majority in this show. I mean, I expected kids to go (the bands are all on the Fueled By Ramen label which is home to Paramore, Panic at the Disco, Less Than Jake, and of course, Fall Out Boy) but I had no idea that many younger kids were going to be there. I couldn't help but chuckle at 10 year old kids running around the punk venue with sweaters that read, "Kiss My Sass" on the back. For a lot of these kids, this show was their first concert so they all had their parents waiting there. (I stayed in the parents section during the first two bands.)

But still, the show offered a lot, and it was cool to let loose and dance to those crazy kids of the Cobra Starship. They opened with "The City Is At War" which was one of my favorite tracks long before they ever made a music video for it. So that was cool. Something about shouting, "Bang! Bang! Shoot em' up, shoot em' up! Yeah!" while waving you hand in the air shaped like a gun feels so liberating. I did manage to get some crappy quality videos of the band performing some of the other tracks. I love "The Church of Hot Addiction" and went nuts like a 14 year old girl when the band played it. T'was awesome. I got video footage of "My Moves Are White (White Hot, That Is)" that's also one of my favorite tracks off the latest record. Gabe, the lead singer, was so funny. Everytime he shook his ass infront of us all the girls went insane, and the stupid conversations he'd have with the rest of the band were halarious.

The performance of "Bring It! (Snakes on a Plane)" was pretty slick. Half way into the song they extended it so they can get a fan to go up on stage with them to do the rap verse. They pulled up a really energetic 15 year old girl who nailed the verse and she was up there dancing with the band. It was cool. The band's crowd interation was great.

However in spite of all of this, one of the craziest and by far the most randomest thing I have ever seen at a show so far came when the band Metro Station was finishing up their set with the song "Control". Half way into the end of that song the lead singer goes, "Ladies and Gentlemen! Jeffree Star!!", and Holy Fuckin' Shit, my mutha fuckin' hero JEFFREE-FUCKING-STAR came out on stage like the badass mother fucker that he is! I was like, "WTF?!?! x10!" At the time, I had been standing in the back with all the old people watching it from a balcony. So I was just effin' shocked! I quickly reached for my camera and began recording. But it sucks, cause I'm so far back that you can more or less make him out at times on the camera. When the song was over, you do hear the lead singer say, "That was Jeffree Star, ladies and gentelmen!". I was so hoping he'd come out to take pictures and sign autographs but I never saw him. I saw the other bands do signings and take pictures with fans but never JStar.. so, I was bummed, I wanted to give him a hug.

Yeah, Barak Obama was in town that night, but I was more egar to meet Jeffree Star instead. Still, it was a cool night. A sold out show, and 15 bucks for a good time with like minded rockers. Unlike, previous shows don't expect any photos from this one. The teenies obviously owned this night and I couldn't for the life of me get close enough to take some good photos. So instead I took crappy videos. Expect those on my personal YouTube account in the coming days.

Anyway, caio baby!

KC the Cat, Skulls, and MSI's new song/remix

The other day me and Kaser Gato were talking about how he wanted to get in on the whole "Cheezburger" scene in hopes of getting more popular. (Apparently this music video, wasn't enough.) So, I said "Sure" and lent him the olympus camera, and well.. he totally went for it. He took some 20 odd shots, and when he showed them to me he only wanted to use two of the 20 photos. I dunno why, I felt the others were good too. Especially one photo where he has green eye. But whatever, he's KC, right? I can't argue with the guy.



So he made that crazy photo. I dunno if he even has My Space account. If he does, he most certainly hasn't added me and my scary drawings to his friends list. Then there was this one:



This one was just weird. I think he secretly wanted to shoot some emo pictures, since he's been listening to a lot Taking Back Sunday these days. Atleast that's what he tells me, who knows, it could be Three Days Grace or something. Regardless, I thought it was clever and he looks cute. He's asleep right now, but told me to upload them in my blog so his momma can see him.

I told him if he was ready for another video shoot, but he didn't really give me a clear answer. Maybe in a few weeks, or something?

Well, I finally finished the skull excercise that's due tomarrow morning. Check it out below:



Anyway, for some weird reason Mindless Self Indulgence released a new song off their latest album, "IF" but it's a remix by the Birthday Massacre..? I dunno, it seems they're going to release a remix EP next month. Odds are I'm going to download it, so what the hell right? Hear the new song here.

What else, what else..? Uh, I think this Thursday I will release about 8 new photos to the photography section of my site. Yes, it's a new band this time and not theSTART. Happy? Oh, and uh.. one last thing..



Opps, Kay hasn't seen the movie.. and I just spoiled it for her. Sowwie.

Thomas Dekker is such a cutie.

See what I mean.

Well I guess "Vicodin Blues" was a huge failure. All it ever got was one fav in DeviantART and that was from Karissa. Not even a single comment, nor a little critique. No mad props for writing an old Blues tune. (Watch me write the music to the poem soon.) Argh.. "Rape Your Rights" was sort of a failure too, despite being so damn proud of it. It got some recognition but I think it was because of the bitchfest I through in the description.

Maybe people like it when I bitch about shit? "An Accident" was a huge hit with the kids, and even though "Drained" got little to no recognition, JC thought it was the best one I've done so far. So that's cool. Needless to say though, I don't think I'll be releasing "Like The Asian Holocaust" this week seeing as I don't really have much motivation to finish it at the moment. Instead I'll be giving you all some more bad photography by yours truly.

What else? I don't know. I'm thinking of having a whole month dedicated to just releasing poems, but I maybe I shouldn't. *sigh* Who knows.

"Juno" esta muy bueno!

So I saw Juno today and, boy oh boy, is this movie good. It lives up to the hype ladies and gentlemen. It's so funny and smart. I loved it. Really cool. The soundtrack is quirky and weird which of course makes me happy. I thought the scene where Juno and that guy are playing guitar together and singing Hole's "Doll Parts". So slick, if I do say so myself.

This movie is for everyone, and it's refreshing to have a new quirky indie flick that doesn't really follow Zach Braff's typical storylines. Mucho awesomeness.

I give this movie a 10 out of 10!

Best line:
"Oh and I bought that Sonic Youth album, and it sucks! It's just noise!"

I was the only one who laughed in the theater.

YES! YES!!!! YYYEEEESSSSSS!!!!!



FUCK YES!! 05.18.08!!! Dallas, Tx!!!

AND THEY'RE NOT EVEN LAWN SEATS! TAKE THAT TEXAS!

''Vicodin Blues'' Is Released



''Vicodin Blues'' the latest poem of mine has now been added to
Self Portrait, DeviantART, Sheezy, and my website. Check it out, tell me what you think. Like with my other writings, this one doesn't seem to be as popular. Only in Self Portrait is my writing actually looked upon more than my drawings, which I think is pretty cool.

Oh, also, when you go to my site can you all tell me if you see a square or the copyright logo way at the bottom in the disclaimer. It's inbetween the word copyright and 2008. They are suppose to be copyright symbols, but my browser turns it into a small square. If you guys can help me with that, it'd be appreciated.

Also, I didn't get those tickets like I wanted. They sold out in a matter of minutes (and those were just Pre-Sales!?!) I have one last chance this Saturday. *le sigh*

Anyway, I am going to listen to the latest Linkin Park album. Can you all guess what song I've got on repeat? ;P

Valentines-Eve & Minor Updates

Well, Jeffree Star caved-in and decided to release his latest song a day early. Regardless, tomarrow is going to be a big day. (For me atleast.) I will be releasing my latest poem, "Vicodin Blues" which I am really proud of and hope it gets some good reviews. Also a certain band is going to release tickets to their upcoming US tour (hint, hint), that I have to really fight for because they will most likely sell out in a few mintues or an hour. (Yeah, that kind of band.)

Also some shit is going down here in Laredo that has the city/construction close some streets to the only route that lead to the college. Anyway, I ain't missing much for tomarrow, so I am not going to show up. I will be taking advantage of tomarrow to finish up some drawings and homework that need to be done.

Oh yeah, Bert was the nude model today in Life Drawing. Haha, I'm suprised I didn't see any tracks on his arm. rofl.

Well, my head hurts kind of bad at the moment. See you all later.

EDIT:

I did some minor updates to my website. The first is I made two new introduction pages from old anime fanart pages that were originally linked from the SuperKnux Network. You can view the first one here and the second one here. The latter is a sneak peak at "Like The Asian Holocaust". Check it out, your first glance at some new material. Hopefully I will be able to premire it next week as planned. I also added some new rock band links to the Links section.

Mastermind




DOWNLOAD "MASTERMIND" BY MINDLESS SELF INDULGENCE


Remember when they played this song at Projekt Rev, Kay? T'was awesome. Here is the studio version that premiered today. I must say it's a little overproduced, but it's still pretty cool. *jams*

Clairaudients (Kill or Be Killed)

Corporate or Colonial
The Movement is unstoppable
Like the body of a centerfold it spreads
To the counter-culture copyright
Get your revolution at a lower price
Or make believe and throw the fight, play dead
It's exploding bags, aerosol cans
Southbound buses, Peter Pan
They left it up to us again
I thought you knew the drill
It's kill or be killed

Future Markets, Holy Wars
Been tried ten thousand times before
If you think that God is keeping score, Hooray!
For the freedom-fighting simulcast
The imminent and the aftermath
Draw another bloody bath to drain
Like the polar icecaps centrifuge
First snowman built at the end of June
He slicks his hair for the interview, his fifteen-minute fame

Would you agree times have changed?

Today

Mmmmm.. today was a good day. I liked today. Today made me feel good. Today made me cry. Today made me laugh. Today was fun. I liked today.

Now I'm back to reality. With my only friend, the end.

I wish today was everyday.

The Dark Knight Trailer (Lego Version)

This is so awesome, you all have to see it. You'll love it.

"An Accident" Premires!



So the latest peice of crap is now released! :D

It's on my site, DevART, and Sheezy.

This little mother fucker is a little fucked up, if I do say so myself. I didn't mean to draw it, it just sort of happened. My hand was doing all the talking and I really had no control over anything. It's how I felt at the time, and what I wanted to do or say. I dunno.

Tell me what you think. Oh, also check out
nin.com for an abstract message by TR. Apparently he's got something up his sleeve. *giggles like Dee Dee from Dexter's Lab* I can't wait to see what he's up too. :D

"Public Art" Section Now Open!

Finally, after days of writing, cropping, and uploading, I finally have the Public Art section under the Misc. Art Gallery. *out of breathe* Check it out, you better god dammit.

I go all out for shit nobody even cares about. But fuck it, right? That's mah life.

Anyway, I feel I need to say something about this whole Britney Spears situation not because I want to say, "I told you so", but just to have it written down somewhere. As you all unfortunately know, Britney isn't in a good spot at the moment. She hasn't been since this past Summer (or ever since she married Kevin Federline, take your pick). Regardless, I wanted to say this. She is going to die. I'm sorry, but she is. This is going to end tragic. Another starlet defeated to her rotten core (can you tell I'm listening to "Somewhat Damaged"?).

Anyway, Britney is going to die in some tragic way, but what will get to me is that despite this, America would learn nothing. The day she hits a tree, there will be football field-long lines of paparazzi taking photos of every possible angle of her bleeding skull. Nobody calling the police, nobody helping, just flashes after flashes of cameras. Okay, maybe not that morbid. But the point is, we wouldn't learn anything from this. It's unfortunate, but the sad truth is these company's who run all the US Weeklys and the People Magazines of the world are paying top dollar to anybody who can get the most fucked up photos of the pop princess. It sucks, but we all play a role in this. Even if you avoid tabloid sites, gossip pages, and movie news sites, it's still happening and I don't think we can fix this. I read an article of this one paparazzo who quit his agency cause he had a enough of playing a role in destroying her. I've only read about him. Just one guy. The only way we will learn anything from this is if more people were like that guy. But their not, and the media, the televison, the internet, outside, my school, my magazine, my grocery store are going to continue putting me on a front row ticket to the destruction of yet another starlet.

This isn't journalism, it's exploitation. Once she's dead and gone, the media will have documentries, tv shows, and "inside the paparazzi" one hour specials, and how they played a role in destroying her and all that jazz. I bet your fucking ass they'll try and point fingers, and yes, most if not all those fingers will be pointed at the paparazzi, but the fact of the matter is.. nothing is going to change. People will still buy the magazines, newspapers, and visit the internet sites. People like me will blog about it, and tmz.com will have more videos on the next star to fall down. Amy Winehouse? I wouldn't doubt it, it's already happening really.

Regardless, my point is; America will learn nothing. Company's and corporations won't take responsiblity for what they will put on their front page. If we all just stopped searching "Britney Spears" on Google, we might have a chance. If US Weekly, Rolling Stone, and People magazine just stopped putting headlines of her and photos of her on the cover, (knowing they won't sell nearly as many issues) we might have a chance to actually save her or anybody else. But we're not.

America will learn nothing.

"Still-Life No. 17" has been added!



The latest generic still-life by the man who brought you "Fuck My Face" and "The Gimp" has been added to my site, DevART, Sheezy, and Self Portrait.

Anyway, I've had a long day. Later.

Updates, New Photos, and Release Dates



Well, Geocities is being a real douchebag right now and won't allow me to do any slight adjustments to my website. There are a few things I need to finish to make my site look nice, but for whatever reason it just won't load up. Anyway, regardless, I did manage to add 10 new photos to the Photography Gallery from theSTART concert that you haven't seen in any of my art accounts. I also didn't cop-out and turn them to greyscale, they are quite the colorful bunch. Go check em' out and laugh at how bad of a photographer I am.

Okay, this month I will be releasing some new poems, paintings, and drawings that I am pretty proud of. I'm giving them release dates so I can stay on the ball and keep me on my toes. So without further adue, here are the dates:

February 6th : "Still Life No. 17" (Painting)
February 8th : "An Accident" (Original Drawing)
February 14th : "Vicodin Blues" (Poem)
February 21st : "Like The Asian Holocaust" (Original Drawing)

These are subject to change, but I will try to keep them as best as I can. "Like The Asian Holocaust" has a lot of commentary that I need to finish writing up. Because I have a test this week and another one the following week, and on top of that shitty homework, there is a good chance I might miss one. But if that were to happen, I'll let you all know. In the meantime, enjoy my new photos.

Such a lonely day, and it's mine..

It's been an unevenful day.

Yesturday though, I ran around town for a bit trying to keep myself busy. I took Mr. Meow (yes, I know he has many names) to the vet for a check up. Dr. Santos saw him and said he was doing really well. I told him about the chicken diet and the egg with butter once a week, and he really liked that. He gave Kaser (yeah, get used to it) his regular shot to prevent him from getting any illnesses. All in all, it went pretty well. See Kay, I'm a decent papa.

I do need to get the little guy a bigger kettle though, cause he's fucking huge now. :P Not really, but yeah.. he needs a bigger one.

I also used my Best Buy gift cards to get some Zune accessories that I am definetly going to need when I go on trips. I've still been drawing and writing. Even taking photos, which I am sure will make a lot of people concerned about me. But again, it's all for art people and me growing as an artist. I won't say much now, because I just know I am going to have to be defending myself once these are all officially released.

Today has been fucking lame, for a lack of a better word. I was looking at some videos I took of Jaime, Fausto, and my cousin during the Winter Break, and it just bummed me out because they aren't here anymore. None of them are here! They're all in Dallas. I hear Fausto's new appartment is really awesome. He's attending UNT with Jaime, my cousin Alison, and her boyfriend Jesus. Nando is in Dallas close to graduating from The Art Institue. I was remebering all the fun we had during Rock Band and how we all teamed up for the World Tour. They don't have to answer to anybody out there. Jaime, Al, and Jesus went to Austin for the weekend to chill with some friends and I'm here doing jack shit. I wish I could just drop all my classes and focused all my energy to go to concerts whenever I damn well pleased. Have adventures, meet strangers, and just be with people who feel the same way as I do about music and life. I miss theSTART concert. I met some cool people there who accepted me for who I was and didn't treat me different cause I'm so fucked up. I was able to open up with them and shit.

I had an argument with my mom about religion earlier today and she didn't like what I was saying. She really said that, actually. So she quickly gave up cause I fucking owned her shitty beliefs. Anyway, later the subject changed to about being pro-choice and how it's important Barak or Hilary wins this Tuesday and not let the republicans get their way cause they're always against it. I told her my usual stance which is, "No man should ever get in the way of a women's body. A women has the right to do whatever she wants to herself." She agreed, then told me her fucked up senario with her gynecologist. She told him she wanted to get her tubes tied, but because of some retarded policy they have to follow, he said to her, "You should go speak to your husband about this to see if he's okay with that." What the flying fuck, man? Who fucking gives a shit what my dad thinks about this. If my mom wants to get her tubes tied, let her get her fucking tubes tied. Son of a bitch, man! Argh! I just don't understand men on this topic.

Like, I hated that I also needed a reason to get a vasectomy. Like, not wanting children wasn't good for you, dumbshits?! Luckly, I have every single illness in the whole fucking world (except testicular cancer), so it was easy for me to convince them. Now, I'm just waiting till all this heart bullshit ends so I can get it done.

Shit, the Black Parade album is going to end on my Zune. I started writing on the first track. I've felt I've said so little. I guess I am a slow typer. Oh, well. Fuck me in the ass.

Speaking of fucking me in the ass, I saw Bob Saget's comedy special on HBO yesturday. Holy fucking shit, it was funny. I liked it when he talked about him and John Stamos going into their Full House characters in a men's restroom, while this kid was in there. The kid was like, "Wow, Full House is real!" OMG it was awesome.

Oh yeah, the Super Bowl is tomarrow. Shit. Uh.. well, my cousin Adam told me to keep an eye out for the commercials cause they're going to show 3 trailers of new highly anticipated movies. He said one was "The Incredible Hulk" (with Edward Norton), some other movie I forgot, and last but not least, the mutha-fuckin' live action trailer for DRAGONBALL! Holy shit, that's gunna be fucking fucked up, that's what that is. I can't wait to rofl at that. I don't even know who's in it. What saga does it take place? Oh, American's you'll take anything these days.


Bye.
