REQUIEM. M. Ward.

2009-12-27T19:02:00.001-08:00

Well he stormed with his feet
And he clapped with his hands
He summoned all of his joy when he laughed
It suffered all of his joy when he cried

And sometimes when he got into talking
Man he could rattle all day long
He was a good man and now he's gone

Well in war he was a tiger
When it was over like a dove
He summoned all of his strength in the climb
It suffered all of his strength in the fall

And sometimes when he got into fighting
Man he could fight with you all day long
He was a good man and now he's gone

He put his trust in a higher power
He held his power like a holy grail
He summoned all of his faith in the lifting
It suffered all of his faith in the fail

His heart was stronger than a heavy metal bullet
And that's why I dedicate this song
He was a good man and now he's gone

I don't have the internet at home. Well. I do.. but it's slower than the second coming. So.. You'll have to be patient. And by "You'll" I mean.. no one.. because no one reads this junk anyway.

Adios!

I wrote some songs.

Hey Everyone.

I like to post my musics on MySpace when I get a chance. Check the songs out!

I figure I should update you all on that since it's been a while. Not that I expect you all to read this or even really act all that interested.. but blogging is fun! Even when it's about my mundane life.

School is going good. I'm currently in my second semester at VIU, in the FIne Arts program. I'm enjoying it.. but it is getting a bit redundant. Coming up on the 11th of March, we're supposed to re-submit our portfolio to get approval to continue with the program we're in. I don't think I'm going to do it. It's not that I'm not interested in pursuing a career in fine arts, I just feel like there are some far more interesting courses that could probably help me out a bit more than the ones I'm currently taking.

One thing I've always been interested in is Special Effects Make-up ala Tom Savini (He worked on a ton of horror movies.. including Dawn of the Dead and Day of the Dead, two of my favourite movies.) He actually has a program at a school in Pennsylvania for this. It looks pretty amazing. I recommend looking it up sometime. They have a promotional video on the program website that shows all the different things they do.

I wonder if there are any good courses like that in my area. It does sound like fun, though!

In other news - my band played the second biggest venue in Nanaimo the other night. We played the Queens. This is a big step for us.. considering our first show was in an empty gymnasium.. where the audience was just members of the other bands playing the show. (I should say.. The Queens is a fairly small venue. It's just hard to book because they usually favour crowd pleasing cover bands. Something we're definitely not.)

Everything went really well and we got a lot of nice compliments after the show. We're actively looking for shows now. We all feel re-energized. We're going to start jamming on a weekly basis (our last practice aside from our show last Wednesday was in September.. at our first show!) We're writing a lot of music and hope to record late this month of early next month.. so I'll update you on that, as well!

So.. That's pretty much it. I'll update you with more soon -

PS. It's snowing a LOT in Nanaimo right now.

I'm trying to think of band names for this Hardcore/Punk band I'm starting up. I have one in mind.. and it involves Riddles.. and Wolves. Any suggestions? OF COURSE NOT... no one looks at this. Jerks.

I did this one with just Black Ink on Canvas. It looks better in person, I think. I've never really heard any good things about it... but it's one of my personal favourites.

I promised myself I would try and post at least once a day. It hasn't been happening the way I planned... but I will definitely try and post as much as I can. I like this little blog of mine.

Here's a picture of an eye that I started and haven't finished yet. It's done from scratch in Photoshop. Click to see a larger version.

Shameless Vanity Post Warning:

When I'm home alone... left with a shoe box full of face paint, I tend to go a little crazy. It would be cool to one day be a part of the movie industry; doing this for famous folks.

Anyway, as you can see, Halloween is my favourite... Holiday? Day? A couple of these are from last Halloween... and the rest are from.. boredom. Anyway. Whatchathink?

You keep calling me Walter. I don't like you.

Hey, dudes.

2008-06-17T19:06:00.000-07:00

In the Spirit of a friend of mine, I have decided to start a Blogger Blog dedicated to my art. I think it will be a good way to keep up with my drawing.. what with school approaching and all. Anyway, I don't have a scanner, so for the most part, it will be a bunch of photos of drawings and paintings.

To start things off, here's a logo I made up for my band, Les French Cougars and Zee German Bears. Photoshop is great.
