I don't speak German, but somehow, this song, sung in German, talks to me.

Bulusan Volcano, Philippines

"Daddy, " Sean, my 8 yo son asked me, "Why are sea songs so happy when there are all those sunken ships at the bottom of the ocean?"

I've been thinking about that recently.

We went on a road trip this last weekend up to the northern coast of the island. We camped out on the beach and in the morning, across the sea, Bulusan volcano loomed large, shrouded in clouds.

I drank my coffee at sunrise by the water. A crane came by and hung out with me for a while.

I just want to say thank you. Your art offers a different perspective. I haven't had very much energy lately, but scrolling through tumblr and seeing your latest piece. I don't know what to say. Just a small glimpse and I was obsessed. It reminded me of the fact that everything large achievement is composed of a multitude of small goals. Art can change the direction of the world, and yours shifted my course a little.

Wow, thank you anonymous, you just made my day. - Patrick

Pedro UK - Searching for light

I've been doing music video artwork for my friend Pedro UK. Some of them have turned out nicely. Pedro UK's music is great as well. The drawings are all done with pen and colored pencil. I used 'Paint' to assemble the covers. Tumblr only lets me upload one video per post so I uploaded Pedro's song "Then 2" (below). The other videos are uploaded on YouTube.

While we're on the subject, if anyone knows anyone who needs cover artwork done for video's or CD's I'm open for business.

Cheers.

THE SEEDS

Back before the Sex Pistols, before the Ramones, before the New York Dolls, back before all of them, The Seeds were Punk.

The Seeds were Punk not so much because of their music but because The Seeds were... Punks.

In 1966 The Seeds owned Sunset Blvd.

"Come back baby, cuz I'm all alone"

OMG my father hated these guys hahaha

Newly arrived kittens

Calbayog City 2024

Our neighbor's cat recently had a litter of kittens, and being as our neighbor can't afford to buy cat food, our house has now been invaded by five hungry kittens. The kitten energy is infectious.

Alhambra 1988

I drew this at a party one night in 1988. There was a pen and a piece of cardboard on a table so I sat down and drew this, with everyone partying around me. It's filled with nervous energy because I was.
