January Catalyst

Eh...my turn again. I'm going to point you back to my October drawing/poem since I didn't get any reactions and I'm curious. Bob, hopefully I can react to your song soon. Things just got crazy with the arrival of Grace, but the art must go on!

November reaction

I had a crazy month and ended up writing a poem inspired by Sean's awesome shoes. Hopefully I can draw on something soon, but over the course of the month I couldn't think of anything awesome, so here's the poem...

The straight and narrow

Treads are read
like words, from the bottom of a shoe,
like lines in the dust that prove
we went to the moon.
If I took a branch and brushed it behind us,
if I really mussed the dust and let it settle all around us,
might it settle as a man?
For unto dust I am. But our bare feet
still leave impressions in the land.
Do you think Adam and Eve ran?
Did God cobble shoes along with coats of skin,
set to tread where moths corrupt and thieves break in?

November Catalyst


I got asked to do some shoes for an art show and I had a lot of fun with them. I thought perhaps they might spark some other drawings on shoes, shirts, pants or pets. Enjoy

This was created on a leather chair in a waiting room.

Sons of Thunder

Here's my reaction. I recorded it in just a couple hours last night on my old equipment. My new interface broke and I had to send it back. So the song is rough and there are some issues, but I thought I'd put it up for some feedback before I really finalize it. So take a critical look at song structure, lyrics, whether I can actually sing the chorus with any skill...

Oh, and Bobs, it ended up being pretty personal. I didn't set out for it to be such a personal response, it just kinda came out like that. I took some of your lyrics and made them my own.

I made a Brainco profile on Purevolume for posting songs. I'll email the passwords and stuff.
Sweet!
