Adventures of Ghoul Gang

My buddy Mike and I spent Wednesday night writing music for his spooktacular band, The Ghoul Gang.

With Mike on bass, and me on drums and keyboard, we spent the first hour playing with bass lines that sounded halloween-y and spooky and playing with drums and some melody on the keys. After discovering that playing piano and drums at the same time was difficult, we settled on the goal of trying to complete an entire song with just the drums and bass before the night was through.

This is what we came up with.

Needless to say, I had a blast writing it with him. We are gonna try and finish writing a quick second song before halloween and recording both of them for the halloween party. Jamming has to be one of the most fun things to do. There's nothing like creating live music with your friends and having everyone sync together perfectly. With my renewed love for playing music, I hope something cool and fun can spawn from The Ghoul Gang.

I love my drum set. <3

I can watch/listen to this all day

Damien Rice - I Remember (live)

Lisa Hannigan is awesome, and Damien Rice is absolutely amazing.

The best way to listen to this song is as loud as possible.

Yes, yes, ya'll!

Anyways... what is on today's agenda?

After school I'm going to design a skateboard for someone's birthday, should be fun.

That's all I have for today. <3

The Quickness over at DBH... really?

Holy hell! "Lanterns In The Night" is now printed over at www.designbyhumans.com yay! I'm so incredibly stoked on how the print came out, it looks almost exactly like the mock up, and what's even better is that it glows in the dark!

Design By Humans is located in Irvine, and I think it's kind of funny that these "hot" OC peeps are modeling the shirt.





Although, I think this one is my favorite



Boobs!

The above picture should be flipped because I took it in the mirror, but it's alright.

Today, I was also able to finish "Tied Down, Fearing 9-5." This design is for sale. Yay!





That is all for now.

Blue Skies, Broken Hearts... Next 12 Exits

On Wednesday night I went to go see my favorite musician, Kris Roe of The Ataris at Chain Reaction. It was so totally rad, as soon as I got in I went straight to the back where he was selling prints of his photography. I snapped a picture with him and chatted it up a bit about cameras and toiletry.



Kris started his acoustic set off with Losing Streak, followed by 1-15-96. As opposed to his advertised "Blue Skies" tour, he played a mixture of songs from all The Ataris' albums, which was great. I was so happy that he played "Summer Wind Was Always Our Song" because that's my absolute most favorite Ataris song and he didn't play it at his last show. Then, he ended with "Looking Back On Today." That was the first time I've ever heard that song played live, so it was definitely a treat!

What a wonderful night with this lovely lady...



With all that said, I need to start being hard core when it comes to my blog.

It's A Grizzle

Straying away from drawing and thinking of designs makes me lurk around the interwebs to shop for things I can't afford. Don't worry, I didn't buy anything. I'm just "window shopping" online for things that I can't afford, like diamond encrusted brass knuckles, Boba Fett sweatshirts, Star Wars Adidas and computer shnitzels.







Anyways, last night Kimbo Slice lost to some dude he wasn't even supposed to fight, and it was terribly embarrassing.



There is no justice in this world!
