Anatomy

I recently finished another project - I did a series of 8 paintings for 8 people I know as Christmas presents. I named the series Anatomy, and you can find it here.

I used acrylic paints. It was interesting thinking about people in pairs, and using the medium to compare/contrast my memories and experiences of them. Taken alone, each of the paintings is positive (none is meant to convey negative emotion).

I Really Like You

I wrote and recorded an album the other day! The entire thing was done in 8 hours. The album is dedicated to a girl named Rachel.

Tracklist:

1. Fort of Complete Acceptance
2. Waking Up Next to You
3. I Really Like You
4. Bittersweet
5. Past & Future

I used the free program Audacity to record everything through a cheap little Logitech microphone. Instruments I played include a Denver quarter-size acoustic guitar with plastic strings, an Epiphone SG electric guitar through a Peavey Rage 158 amp, a MicroKORG synthesizer, a crappy old BluesBand harmonica, and a dirty little toy tambourine I fished out of a lake. All the vocals are also done by me (and I have literally no experience with singing so brace yourselves).

I'm really happy with the result, especially considering the fact that it all only took 8 hours!

You can download the full album for free here.
