Only a Sailors Tale

I started this a couple days ago way to late at night, I just finished it knowing that I had written the first half of another story at work this afternoon and that if I ever accumulate to much of a backlog of unfinished work I freeze creatively and it's terribly frustrating. Anyway, without further ado;

Only a Sailors Tale

We are told, we sailors, that death by drowning is as peaceful a one as man could wish for. After the time I spent in the South China Seas in 1904 I don't believe a word of it.

An update on an older post

stop motion randomness

Hmm, let's try a video post shall we. This is just some randomness I did with clay for my "freestyle" assignment. It really sucks, because I don't know shit about stop motion and I didn't really care to try hard to get it to look nice.

Sidenote

So, this isn't really art... I guess, but anyways:

Ian had gotten a bag of holding from ThinkGeek a while ago, the strap got pretty jank after his run in with the "two crappy muggers". It's been lurking around my apartment for a little over a week with his intention to fix it while I'm being lame (read: sleeping at normal hours). I took the liberty of fixing it myself, and added this little fleece heart on the inside, because I'm lame.



(Somehow I feel that this fleece heart will protect him from future encounters.)

the ants go marching

Just a quick doodle i did in class about ants and blocks

SHEEP!

Yah, I'm on a roll today! Just finished my sheep stuffed animal for my over-done "freestyle" modeling assignment. If I texture it ever, it will have those creepy over-cute eyes. And no I do not have Serta, I wish I did though.

Foam Lady

Weird little puppet I had to make for my next stop motion assignment. It will involves screwing her feet to the floor apparently? No idea what I'm doing. Also, I'm thinking of coloring it, but not sure what way I want to color it yet. It's made of crayola modeling foam I think, which actually feels like marshmallows and smells like glue. Oh, and aluminum wire.

An Introduction

I hopped on the EE bandwagon after seeing some of the excellent work being posted here by a number of my friends. I had for some time toyed with the idea of starting a blog of my own, somewhere to post my writings that was not Deviant Art and this provided me with that opportunity.

I write because I love it, not because I do it particularly well, and I always appreciate constructive criticism. I hope to be posting almost exclusively new material on this site and forward those who want to read my earlier work to my DA page (found on my profile). However for this evening I have a recent poem for your perusal.

I call it The Side Street Waltz;

Watch me step-slide

to the rhythm of a boom box

rattling broken windows.

I dance my soft toe by the train tracks

on cracked cement and leaves of grass,

I've moon walked over rooftops

in the moonlight,

past broken street lights,

under stars.

I've thrown a head spin

through a broken heart,

and turned a pirouette on a stage

lit by source fours and footlights.

And it's a lindy hop,

two step,

mosh pit,

dodging slings and arrows in this life of mine.

Who says

white boys can't dance?

Yotee

Oh man, so apparently I fail at this daily updating thing. It's kind of hard to be creative when you're trying to find a job and wading through all those generic online applications with their stupid repetitive generic questions that are supposed to gauge your personality or something >:[

But here I am! With a sketch of another character of mine, the semi-deity Coyote. Yes, he is wearing a pinstripe fedora and a duck tie. I hand drew the picture a while ago and then scanned it in to go back over it with my tablet in Photoshop.
I am aware that he's still missing a forelimb, which I'll get around to sketching in... sometime.
