music tuesday. the breeders- divine hammer

today i picked a song that i have loved forever divine hammer by the breeders. also i picked this particular performance for a few reasons. i really liked this version cus afterwards they do some talking to a young conan o brien, its kinda trippy how different he doesn't look. also i like this live performances cus shit happens and its funny how they react. if you notice carefully one of the guitar strings breaks in the middle of the song and you can see them laugh about it while performing.

also if you like this lead singer she also does lead vocals for gigantic by the pixies, another great song

captain cold

i have a huge strech of time between my classes so i inked this captain cold sketch that i drew a while back. i drew it cus a freind of mind thought the flash's villians looked silly and i wanted to redesign them to look more modern. then like a week later the flash episode with captain cold came out. so late to the party but whatever i like it. i whish that i did the guns a differnt way though cus the cold gun design could be made more intemedating. 

    got to also use a bic fine point pen to do this which has a cool look. 

Things in comics i like

I love the idea that in comics the title character fight all these world destroying threats but when they talk to other heroes they are like "who?"

music tuesday: the muffs - really really happy

the track for this week is the muffs with their song really really happy. i got into this band last year and now love them. this is actually the first song i heard of theirs, downloaded it years ago from demonoid (wow remember that) but only last year did i think to look for more of their songs. now so many of their songs have become a staple in my spotify playlist but before it was only this song.
   this song is a good start because it is a good example of the general energy that they have which is a lot. this is just a fun smile song about not giving a fuck, also bonus points for an entertaining video.
   if you want some recommendations for other songs of theirs i suggest "oh nina", "big mouth", "on and on", "from your girl"

draw it again : the scarlet spider

so i started this in 2011 and today i was sorta bummed and looked through my old notebook, decieding to do this years version real quick right now.i like that i am getting better at this art thing. just got to get better at digital art. thats a story for another day....

i think the biggest difference between these different versions is that the proportions are even i can pose the character in a way that is more natural. i like the progress that i've made and should stop getting down on myself because i'm still growing.

love syndicate of dreamworld

so i drew this the second to last day of my chicano studies class. a little doodle of part of the love syndicate of dreamland, an alternate justice league. i think grant morrison is bringing them back so i wanted to draw them. but these are only sketches of two of them cus i kinda forgot how they looked. a nice version with all members ,including speed freak, will come.

Ramona Flowers

a thing i posted on instagram a few months back. Ramona flowers, watercolored, markered, and gouched. i like this version and will probably do another one.

good music tuesday: fishboy: i'm a ghost

so i haven't done good music Tuesday since like 2010 but i want to bring it back because it kept me writing something even if it wasn't much.
   today i want to feature a band that got into last year and that has recently released a new album. which i haven't pick up yet but will when i got more money. but it doesn't matter because here is one of the songs from the new record, I'm a ghost. i love this song it's very danceable and is catchy as fuck. also huge bonus, this song and the entire album incidentally are about the elephant that Thomas Edison electrocuted. the record even comes with a comic drawn by the band to accompany the music. that is dedication that you don't see in music anymore and the reason i want to acknowledge this record and song. this is a band that has consistently made songs about weird subjects fun. i also appreciate the narrative of each record because if you listen in order it tells a story. that is not to say that each song can't be enjoyed on their own because they totally can. personally my favorite song is parachute (which I've just linked to) but these new songs still are undeniably fishboy but i with enough difference to tell it apart from other records of theirs.
  here is also a link to comic and record 
and a link to their tumblr

nextwave sketch and update

so I've been sinkering with sketchs for the captain from the wonderful warren ellis book nextwave. originally i was going to do each character seperate but I think i'm going to make one big team shot poster to scan and digitaly color. so that is what i'm doing since saturday. will be posting a lot more now i promise.
    i wanted to do some reviews for book series' I love and want to post art to show how much i've grown as an artist.

   so expect redraws of old art pieces from my deviantart. and the new warriors review that i wrote like a years ago but never uploaded the scans for.
   i don't expect many people to actually be reading this but this blog at one point was very therapeutic for young me and now that i'm older i want to make this a blog that people would want to visit more than once because i think i can manage that. if not, its still fun to write down my opnions somewhere.
