If you listened, well, thanks. Did you like it?

I just watched Eraserhead a little bit ago. I couldn't stand it. I don't know how I made it though the whole thing.

Spontaneous Composition

The boredom begins...

Trying to save my short time left in summer. And I've basically got a week to myself, with my parents in New York, and most of my friends in Harry Potter World. Sorta...

but

ANYWAYS

I did

today. I used one of those safety pamphlets they keep in the chairs of airplanes and some sharpies.

YUP

Hang In There Buddy

THIS

I made THIS from

1. cardboard from a package of water bottles

2. material from a basketball shaped pillow

3. spray paint and not spray paint

4. nick nacks

Gave it my sister, to put in her cubicle, because apparently that place isn't fun? Or... you can just put it anywhere.

I kinda like making "stupid" artwork.

Meanwhile at the fest, a photographer found me and labeled me as "the most fashionable dude (he's) seen all day." Thus producing this:

ANYWAYS

I just got home home a few hours ago, being tuesday night. Already miss em / it. Already some what sick of the island again. Twas a fun weekend.

lookee here

This afternoon, after a good mindless rummaging through my closet, I became reunited with a teeny lost object shoved underneath some jeans and a box of toys. It was my 9x14 cm moleskine sketchbook guy. I had this thing, sometime in the midst of sophomore year, like two years ago now, and filled it with doodles and visual mind drools until it was lost and forgotten.

ANYWAYS, here's some scans:

(only 3 days till p4k)

its called rock 'n roll, mom

I recorded some sounds yesterday. Not really any music, unless, maybe if you're deaf and have very strong patience for things that are dumb. The whole file is about 30 minutes long, without any breaks, so I couldn't put it up to stream any where, but if you're extremely dedicated here's a link to the download:

~CLINK HERE!~

These sounds were made originally, when Brady and I tried to jam a few days ago, and realized we had no instrument cables. So we put a mic into an amp, and played some things into that. Thanks errybody.

FOUR DAYS TILL PITCHFORK OMG

I went to JAZZ KAMP at FSU for a week, a few weeks ago. It was fun.

the cool parts:

the not cool parts:

etc.

I mean, who can really deal with kids like that, besides themselves? Jazz is stupid. Its fun, but stupid.

Back from the slums, it be the Wu

I seem to go on blogging hiatuses and kind of just let everything I need to blog about pile up.

Anyways, first thing to mention:

On Tuesday, June 29, I will be performing at the corner perk in Bluffton (next to Monster Pizza). It starts with OOPS (I've made a whole new show up for us, its going to be real wacky)

followed by BABYVILLE, whom I'm pretty sure only myself and one other person in the world has heard this. Its Kieran Daly on lead everything and should be real excite. And headlining is good ol' YMC. I guess we'll be playing pretty alright too.

Coincidentally, I'm in all 3 bands. Why?

Hopefully, I'll get someone to take some pictures or something. I'm really excited, its my first show like this in a long long time, so come out! A show this interesting may never happen again!

Now I know its kind of dumb to blog about high school art projects, but since school's been out, I've gone through these projects and thought that at least these ideas were particularly funny or just something I would've done for fun. Which, in a way, is sort of what. Can't say I really got good grades on these, because I never always did what was asked.
