of Montreal

of Montreal are one of my favorite bands. I took a trip up to see them over fall break, and had such a ridiculously good time that I have already organized a trip to see them again in November. And, since it was so much fun, me and Kacee decided to dress up this time. So I've been trying to come up with an outfit to wear, and this is a sketch I did of maybe what I'll try to dress like.

a chambermaid in squalor pours out water
to polish the floor of the slaughter house.
the byproduct of sweat, disillusion and gloom
makes the room less of a shrine than a tomb.
and she lay, prostrate to God on the ground
stripping off flesh to be sold by the pound
(Oh, she'll fetch a nice price)

Meet Rosetta

I've got this secret, well only somewhat secret, dream to have a published children's book that I wrote and illustrated. I've been kicking around this idea for a long time now about a girl named Rosetta who lives in 18th century france and was born without any eyes. The story would follow her around as she goes on imaginary adventures with her mystical friend Mr. Vornid who is a kind of disembotied floating head of an armidillo. Not sure what the inspiration for all of this is, but it's fun. I did this sketch in my Advanced Writing class one afternoon while we were workshopping someone's student profile.

Wolf Shorts

Sitting outside the Colloquium with BK Sean and Patrick this afternoon we conversed about wolf shirts, and then got on the idea of wolf shorts, so I drew this sketch of what I thought some sweet wolf shorts might look like. Also drew a rockin' deer man and a zombie face.

Summer Pen Doodles

This is the only sketch that I can find that I already have digitized, so for the time being it's all that I have to put up. Done over the course of a day this summer where all I really did was sit at the computer and answer ChaCha questions and doodle. Some interesting ideas in there, heh.
