artstill

This page was inspired by Lisa's art page. I've always used ms paint for all my computer drawings and have goten pretty good with it. I cant do a thing in photo shop or anything like that but in paint i cant draw pretty good. I know some people wouldn't call this art but its a media used to convey feeilings so i would. Some of the pictures can be interperated as deep and some are hust funy or foolsish. I put alot of myself in the deeper ones and all of them have some sort of a story behind them. I'll try to put up the stories if they of any intrest. Also if you have any requests of drawings preferable abstract words or emotions im kinda scrapped for material as of now so feel free to drop me a line or just tell me what you think.

Despair This was my first work I made for this gallery after years of messing around in paint. The story was I was listening to music that got me mellowed out and got to thinking eventualy I thought about my life and the future which lead to "despair" translation: sometimes I feel like I'm in the desert at night and my car broke down. I chose to make the sky look nice because even in my despair there is a positive side. The car breaking led the man to see a beautiful night sky.

Valentine Pretty much my thoughts on love and valentines day as of sober thinking time at midnight on that sunday. I hate how when you lay your emotions (heart) on the table people eat them. Also the comercialism of the day sucks, I don't think love should be celebrated on a day but everyday becasue love is a celebration...deep

Cry a river I hate this saying people over use it about little things but i like it when its not so much hyperbole but the idea that we have enough emotion to make a river of sorrow. Also its kind of a pictionarry interpritation of the phrase. Note: it is a river becasue it emptys into the ocean. This peice was inspired by Lisa's "Sad"

A ":)" can't replace a hug for all of us AIM users you all know it. This spawned from an incident I rember a while ago where I said I wish you were here so I could hug you and in return i got a :). The conversation was with a friend but the meaning of this peice is more powerful when applied to love so I drew crying stick thinking about him and skirt stick.

Saves the day I was listening to the band saves the day and I thought about superman saving a calender falling from a building and made this. Its kinda dumb but pretty straight forward. Its deticated to Sean i guess since its his favorite band and I followed his website's link to the saves the day download site. For some reason sober thinking time and emo go well together

Sick mind is an ode to mental unhealthyness. I thought of this image in philosophy class for some reason when we were talking about bisexual greeks, I think the prof might have used the phrase which probably led to me singing "healthy body, sick mind" over and over(from hte Op Ivy song of the same name) One day later it ended up here.
Health Fact: You know you're sick when you think about RX bottles and pills that look like they were taken from that Dr. Mario game.

Mute your boss you know how it is you want to mute your boss, maybe not boss but insert person here. Idea came in class when I was distracted by some random thought and didn't hear the jibber jabber of learning around me. This is kinda my idea job. I despise the idea of 9-5 jobs. I'de like to not care like in office space. So untill I can steal rounded pennys I will have to mute my boss untill I can afford to not care

Confused? you should be. I revised this one cause it kinda annoyed me how bad it was before. I had this idea a while back but it turned out pretty bad as a drawing. The "point" isnt to make a joke about hermaphodytes or "chix with dix" using the bathroom although it is a fun thought. The point is about all things black and white, true and false, O and | - the world doesnt operate like that the world is a gray area. My point? Labes suck things aren't to be labeled. Unique is beauty. and as always Knowledge is power!!!

You are a tool thats right you! No seriously this was inspired by a tool in my philosophy class as stated in the main page. Just consider it an artsy interperatation to a nice saying. If you like symbolism the big guy is society and the little people are all tools that do whatever they are told to. This picture reminds me of all the animals the Flintstones used as moderen technology. If you hate symbolism that girl is a tool and thus is used to pound in nails.

Snow day is my tribute to 1/31/02 the snowiest day thus far of my college run. Class was canceled me and the boys went to tower inn for pizza and there was an hour of family guy. Please not that I dream of being on a beach with 2 girls a boom box and a crab. The best part of hte day is that it didn't snow all day it was just everything covered in ice and terrible driving for all of EMUs commuters
Snow day Fact: The morning of snow day I was actualy dreaming about being in Flordia.

The art of Conversation & Moral
didn't quite make the cut but I posted them so you can get a sense of some of the works I dont really like. At one point they may have been good ideas but they just didn't turn out the way I wanted them for one reason or another. Maybe I will re-do them. Probably not.

I think the art of conversation is a good idea but my rendering of famous art in speech bubbles looks kinda dumb the one is that thinker statue and im not even going to say what the first one is. I tried to draw famous painting " the screamer" but that didnt work out either. The goal was acheived as it leaves you wondering is it the art of conversation or the conversation of art

Moral, eh who knows I wanted to draw the little angel and devil that tell us to do stuff but didnn't know where i was going with it...maybe ill make it animarted and have them fight cause whats better than GvE conflicts?

The story of how I got my first bike or TSoHIGMFB is a long story. This is a picture from it that might better explain it. Its half a kids story and half the rambelings of an incoherant moron. Namely me.

LOST IN SPACE: A Testiment to how boring brake can be and how desperate I am for ideas. Admitably pretty bad I've had this idea in a notepad file on my desktop for weeks. I wanted to get rid of that file so I drew it. It's not too good and I probably should have done the lost in time idea with present and past and future written on the signs but i didn't know what else to include in it so I made a tribute to the TV show DANGER DANGER WILL ROBENSON... who am I kidding the only danger is crappy bitmap drawing poisening...Ha!

ALONE I needed an excuse to draw a make shift globe like this. Its suprizingly accurate all things considered...and by all things mean myextensive knowledge of geography that lead to me nearly failing the infamous Mr. Minch's jr. high class. Was it geography or history? No one iwll ever know but on the map test thing I barely got past America and I i think I dodged Canadia by the end of the year somehow making it to centeral america wich promptly put an end to that run. Curse you and you latin-american people Joe.
