If you’re not already familiar with A Perfect Circle, here’s the original.
Happy Friday the 13th,

A year or two ago, I had this dream of a girl and a playground made out of type. More specifically the word, Hello. I’m still not sure what this dream means.

Detail of the letter, O
It’s still a work in progress. I haven’t quite figured out the girl’s hands yet, and I know it desperately needs to be kerned. ~__^
Happy drawing,

After drawing a smiley smiley face on the wall of the First Avenue L-train stop at 3:10 AM on February 27, Yoshitomo Nara was arrested and charged with criminal mischief, possession of graffiti instruments, making graffiti and resisting arrest. He was released after a night in jail.
Nara called the arrest “a nice experience in my life,” in which he got to meet people he would not otherwise have encountered.
Nara was in New York for a solo exhibition of his work at the Marianne Boesky Gallery in Chelsea that runs through March 28, 2009. His sculptures and paintings were listed for $125,000 and $500,000.
It probably would have been worth ten grand if you or I got our hands on that brick.

I’ve always wondered what it would be like if my two favorite musical crushes, Ben Gibbard and Leslie Feist, got together. I got my first taste when the Postal Service remixed Mushaboom. It left me wanting more!
Ben Gibbard and Feist do not disappoint as they join forces once again to cover Vashti Bunyan’s Train Song. Ben & Feist’s Train Song is just one track from the album, Dark Was the Night

What a wonderful, timely parody! Oh geez, I know it’s so wrong, but I couldn’t help but laugh a little at Rorschach petting the German shepherds.
Related postsThis combines two huge passions of mine, one being the comic genius that is Alan Moore and the other being kids programming from the late 80s which I would say is my biggest animation inspiration.

I started my day delivering flowers and freshly baked scones to family, friends, and co-workers.
No occasion. Like, I need an excuse to bake. ^__^
I ended my day with a relaxing train ride home. The bumps and jolts of the train add character to the tree bark I’m drawing.
In between, I went to work and later attended my night class at SVA.
