I Think It Just Rained... 
Rained?
Is that even a word?
Sounds stupid.
I have all these ideas locked away in this treasure chest in my head.
I unlock them at night while I'm in bed and they keep me up.When i want to unleash during the day they are like vampires
and they shy away from the light.It's like dealing with stubborn children.
All in all I'm not doing as much art as I'd like to.
I'm currently working on a t-shirt design for This Life at the ironing board.
More on that in the near future : )
I also found a house that was in need of some renovations.
When i'm not drawing and I'm making food, i tend to take photos.

Food + Eleven = Photos

To a place where we may play."

Q&A

This Is Eleven's Life
 On a strange, ethereal midnight, whilst the mist settled on the frosty road,
I was approached by a cloaked figure.
He did not reveal his face, and spoke in riddles
.I fled the mysterious man but could not escape his voice;
It echoed in the valleys of my mind like undying ghosts.I had no choice but to accept his offer of interrogation.
The sweat dripped from my nose and my hands could not stop shaking.
I could feel the fear creeping up my back, mocking my naivety.
The cloaked man spoke only with purpose.
He only changed his course of speech to reveal, that his name was...

THIS LIFE

Besides the elaborate tale i just spat out,
I got interviewed by THIS LIFE.
Easily one of the greatest guys i know.

chillin'

Tuesdays
 Possibly my favorite day.
Good things always seem to happen.
Whether it be big things, or small things.
Lately the weather has been very favorable and I've been getting out a lot more.
Instead of hibernating and arting in doors.
The walks home are always the best.
The sunset always tells me that I've have a good day.

regardless~

viedo woo

So I Am
 What started as a comment from a friend,
"Then why do you do it?"
has turned into a video art piece.
Trying to figure it out myself, i try to work out
why they do what they do.
Why do i do what i do?
New media is always a hassle
and there was a lot of problems, but through my frustration
and anger comes somehting I'm proud with.
Done over three days, in different weather and different clothes,
Ink + Spray Paint + Acrylic + Water?
I present to you...

"So I Am"

"So I Am" explores the criminal act of graffiti.
The video dives into the mind of a "vandal" and tries to
unravel and break the common perception of the public.
The vandal shown is represented as any other criminal.
We watch as the vandal struggles to hold dominance
over a particular surface, being "buffed" over, representing
the governments constant control over the subculture.
This progresses in anger and frustration which is when the vandal's conscience
comes in, in the form of calligraphy.
The two debate over the issue, borrowing verses from Dhammapada,
the sayings of Buddha, the conscience dives into a philosophical view on the issue.
The vandal comes to a realisation, but this is never resolved
as the buffing takes over the entire piece.
An honest peak into a way of life that is often overlooked and disregarded,
even though it surrounds us.

This Is How We Do

Another late night in the studio.
Some interesting things going on here lately.
I was lucky enough to grab some shots of
a strange and interesting process.

"PVA ey?"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Savage Sixteen
 The reson i havn't been posting up a lot of work is due to this.

This laborious entity.
This body of torture.

Clash Of The Tight Arses
Somehow found myself in a battle today.

Any tools and instruments.
ANGEL.
It was obvious the old school guru was going to win.
We never stood a chance.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

mine

obvious winner

you'll say

"Why haven't you done any art?"
Good question.
I've been working my ass off and saying that,
but there's not a lot on here to show it.
What have i been doing then?

You've got some nerve mister.

There's a lot going on and I've been working on a lot of big projects.
In due time, in due time.
For now,

late nights

So I've Been Busting My Ass
 Like A...
 Bitch.
Straight up?
I've been slaving myself over these works.
Deadlines are bitches.They'll screw you over before you even finish.
Then they'll take your wallet and leave in the morning.
Bitches.
My projections are coming along swell,
but i might have to start again
on account the video fucked up halfway through projections.
We'll see.
I started a new piece.
At first it was just out of boredom,
but it grew.
I don't want to show too much.
All i can say is,

It's going to be sick~
----------------------------------------------------------------------

violence

Violence
"Violence"
(size is to be measured, for now "fairly tall")
Acrylic and Inks on canvas

This piece embodies the ideals of violence.
It serves as a tool of communication, a way of reaching out in terms of this issue.
The main issue is street violence and this piece echoes words of wisdom
through the words of Buddha.

Borrowing from Dhammapada,
In black:
"but the fool in his mischief forgets"
and he lights the fire
wherein one day he must burn
fire from heaven shall strike

In white going down:
"violence"

You don't have to agree with the religion.Just take in the words of the artwork.

moving on and...

Freezer Door
At least, it's what I think it looks like.
---------------------------------------------------------

progresso

Black And Blue
Day after day I'm painting.
If I'm not painting I'm drawing.
If I'm not drawing I'm thinking about painting.
 It's an endless paradox of unsatisfied creative achievement.
Repetition is the essence of nature.
Repetition is the essence of nature.
Natural is habit.
Habitual is instinct.
Moving is progress.

Of Life And Such

Life was quite simple when i was a kid.
All i wanted was that Voltron toy.
I slept early every night, 9pm on the dot.
Woke up early on Saturdays to watch cartoons.
I didn't worry about money or a job.
I didn't have to keep looking over my shoulder.
I didn't have to always watch other people's backs.
I didn't have so many bruises and scars.
I use to think everything was great.
Nothing could go wrong.
I was wrong.

I grew up~
