One final post before I head off to class

Just wanted to put this band out there, I have been listening to them for quite some time now and don't think too many people listen to them, but what do I know. Once I get some more time I would love to review some more local bands I just haven't had the time to go to any concerts recently. I would say there sound isn't for everyone but I enjoy them a lot. They have a lot of playful songs, and randge from lively to mellow. The band by the way is, Menomena, who are based out of Portland, Oregon.

Their Myspace Page

Some of My favorite songs, I couldn't find good quality examples out of a few so I omitted them.

Menomena-Wet and Rusting


Menomena-Air Aid

Busy week and a piece of mine

I have been really busy lately, so I haven't been able to post any work of my own, but hopefully that will change soon. I don't have many works but we'll see what I can do. The image below is something I did for a final in one of my classes, the image actually sat on an end table that match the grain exactly. This view is kind of deceiving because the image is 8x10 on a large end table so he looks like a small man coming out of the wood. If I can find a picture of my piece when it was up I'll gladly post it.

Plan

Upon looking at other blogs I have determined that I want to enjoy my blogging experience more than anything. I don't think I want to turn this into a money making opportunity but I am still keeping an opened mind. I want my blog to be an eclectic grouping of things in my life and things I find on the Internet. I want my blog to stay on the humorous side of things with it since I feel like it will get me more readers. I had no put as much thought about this before class since I was not expecting to have to write blogs but I am intrigued by the subject much more now. I am also thinking of talking about my experience in trying to learn about blogging and editing my template so it can act as a how to for others.

Jerseys for future reference

Well I am working on a sort of simple design depending on how it turns out for jerseys for my summer club team. I am hand drawing most of the designs for now, just sketching what I can then I will translate those into crisper images on the computer. I am trying to incorporate our old design into the new one with the theme of heroes and villains which is turning out well. I will post the designs later once I have them finished and may post some partial sketches as they get finished.
