New Music, New Art

So the time has come to toss some more wares into the world.

Tonight, I put up some new art that I have been working on. The Blue Bird of Happiness and the Black Bird Of Destruction are actually a diptych, but I chose to upload them separately. Bluebird is 1st and Blackbird is 2nd when you view it. I hope it sums up the basic artistic personality. Or at least mine. All its wonderfulness and complete ugliness.

Also added some sections (watercolor, collage, acrylic, and drawings) to better decipher what it is I’m doing on my portfolio page. Sometimes I like to paint, sometimes I like to draw, sometimes I like to glue together vintage collage, sometimes I like watercolor, sometimes I like acrylic, you get the picture. Variety is the spice of life. I know it would be “wise” to decide on a style since that is what they preached in art school, but I can’t. I like them all. And will continue my unfocused exploration as long as it suits me.

And as you may ALSO notice, (drum roll) I have been working on some music separate from my band Sweet Jelly (although we’re still making music together over there, never fear) This is just a different avenue I thought would explore on my own. Please keep in mind, these are scratch tracks while you listen. My plans for symphonies, choirs (both gospel and tabernacle) along with the release of 300 white doves in the sky at the end of each tune, will have to wait.

For now, musical pencil sketches.
