Watch the Throne

Best song of life right now



Oooooh
I love you so
But why I love you
I’ll never know

You ripped out my heart and you stepped on it
I picked up the pieces, Before you swept on it

Wasn’t I a good king?
(Maybe too much of a good thing, huh?)
Didn’t I spoil you?, Me or the money, what you loyal to?
(Huh, I gave you my loyalty)
Made you Royalty and royalties
(Took care of these niggas lawyer fees)
And this is how ni**as rewardin me
(Damn)

Vacation #1

Just arrived home from vacation this weekend.

Had a great time, was very peaceful and gave me time to catch up on some still life drawings as well as some photography. I haven't been to this place since 2002, so it was nice to re-visit my grandfathers chalet out in Maki. Overall I met some interesting folks on the reserve; completely different lifestyle out there, sometimes I wonder how they manage with such little necessities. Anyway they were great company, and surprisingly enough one of the girls on the reserve was a photographer, I couldn't help but think of the novel "Medicine River" by Thomas King. Other then that I learned some history along the way, went fishing, played cards, sat around a fire and reminisced the times shared with my grandfather

Felt nice being away from technology and work, was definitely relaxing! If I had the choice I would do it more often, it's good to get away sometimes. My only complaint was the 7-8hr drive going up and coming home. Did a lot of sleeping, and listened to a lot of radio haha. Half way home I overheard this song on the radio and funny enough it reminded me of someone I knew and this moment we shared. Felt nice to clear my mind yet reminisce on the good times, great weekend!

Chris Giannini CD

Was assigned to illustrate Chris Giannini's album "If It's Me".

Here are a few samples





This was a concept I worked on before deciding on the final illustration above.
