Your Room

I decided to make another simple song to take my mind off of my complicated structures I'm creating with the band. So many ideas that need trimming and molding. This was written relatively quick after I was messing around with some guitar tunings...this one being GABGBD (don't ask).

Anyway here it is, hope you enjoy my nonsense stress reliever.

Be up soon.

The Mind Scrawls of a Mad Man

or...just boredom.

You DIRTY SON OF A

So the last few days I have been trying to get back into
the whole visual art world. I hate it. Very frustrating, mind numbing...work?
Would people consider this work? I'm not getting paid...but Jesus.

Anyway here's the shit that will probably end up in the nearest receptacle.

I do have a new project that I am actually excited to get started though, more on that later.

So of course first sketches...

The idea here was to have a music box, winter themed, and looking like it was Queens College, more specifically the awesome LeFrak Concert Hall, which has a huge organ.

My sister helped me come up with the idea, I feel I work much better when I bounce ideas off someone else. I then realized I wanted a certain kind of look for this music box, perspective wise.
So I looked up some different forms of 2 point perspective. Isometric perspective caught my attention, it's what engineers use for industrial design. Naturally, I was excited to learn a new method of drawing. It involves a grid system with vertical, horizontal, and 30 degree diagonal lines.

LOTS OF FUCKING LINES in other words.

I drew a countless number of lines and grids trying to get the right look, it was mentality frustrating and as you may imagine time consuming. I later learned that they sell sheets called isometric paper. This would have saved so much TIME!!!

Anyway here are my attempts.





that was my "organ" background...you can see all the crooked lines
I need a drafting table...the floor ain't cutting it anymore.

I realized just as I was adding the piano that all my lines were off in the first painting. I got fed up and abandoned it decided to work from scratch again...stupid me I rushed it and did it on shitty watercolor paper which didn't work in my favor at all.

Eventually I said fuck this shit.
My father told me I was making things much to complicated and that I should just keep it simple. I just drew a sloppy ass piano and called it a day. I don't wanna touch this project until I've cooled down.

This is how it turned out...exactly what I didn't want.

I will finish that fucking painting.
I must finish that fucking painting.

New Song

So I recorded a whole song myself today with the power of garageband.
It's called Killer Chase, originally named by Charles George himself.
Written and arranged by myself, played by Starving Children.

It's one of my more poppy kinda jams.

Enjoy!

Art is Fun, but Music is Funner.

Been having a lot of time on my hands as of late,
that'll all change very soon once I start working,
and I will be working very, very soon.

I bought a mac, and it is my new addiction.

Here's a little something something I worked on,
not everyone's kinda joint but it was fun for me.

Noise is the name of the game.

Christian Castro

The singer...no...the artist, oh yeah.

Christian feels it is time for a long over due update, and he is absolutely right my brothers and sisters. I will be presenting a new series starting today.
