Mixtape?

2010-02-23T16:12:00.000-08:00

So I've made a couple mixtapes for myself, and Jesse suggested that I post some of them.

So here is one of them. (I whipped the cd art super quick)

So basically I little while ago, I had a brief obsession with female vocals and I made this mixtape of artists that are a little grungy/punky into poppy/dancy throughout but they're all catchy as hell. So... Enjoy!

simple shirt design + art project

2010-02-18T13:26:00.000-08:00

Ahoy. So here's a little update on some stuff I've been doing:

I've been trying to make a simple font shirt for the band, as well as making a nice design for another shirt.
http://www.myspace.com/jesseandthedandelions

and I've been making some more Art stuff for Peak Oil week at the Uni. This is the first out of 3 or 4.
(I know the photo is blurry, and I really don't care. When it's done there'll be a good photo for it)

Finished?

start of a new poster

Done?

2009-10-26T16:03:00.000-07:00

Done. Methinks.

I think it's done... maybe

2009-10-26T12:24:00.000-07:00

latest version. Might still add something in the top corners but maybe not.

Nearing the end of concert poster

2009-10-25T23:48:00.000-07:00

Nearly done. Need to add a border (that is not just black) and maybe some designs in the top corners.

halfway?

Working with some new styles

2008-12-05T15:49:00.001-08:00

Working with some new Ideas/new techniques to make some new stuff. Also thinking of mixing spray with acrylics and seeing what happens.

latest piece below

Spraypaint is impossible to get off your fingers I swear

Wow...

2008-10-30T19:27:00.000-07:00

So... I really have been slacking. But I'm slowly getting back to work. The two pieces I did for Art for Peace I sadly did not photograph before they were sold at Art for Peace. I may re-create the pieces I did, because I still have the stencils I used but for now I think I will move on to other work.

So Recently I "obtained" the Reason Program, which is basically a little composing machine. I've been trying out a few things and A friend and I are challenging each other to compose different themes of music. So once I finish some of these I will post them.

As well as music I'm dipping my hands back into more traditional Art. Here is a sketch I did in Charcoal a little while ago just to see if my hands were still functioning properly. Its a reverse charcoal (where you cover it with black then erase the picture out) and it went pretty well. More to come for sure. I've also got a few stencils in the works and it's just a matter of time until something is produced.

More Soon.

Work In Progress

2008-07-25T17:43:00.001-07:00

So here are two stencils from my current project, Which I am submitting to Art for Peace (a festival in my town : http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=11730611020&ref=ts :)
but there is still more to do, I am making at least 2 more stencils for this piece. I will post as soon as it is done.

So here is a Timelapse I've tried to upload before, but for some reason it never worked until now.

So this is in Paris at a famous little spot where artists gather and sell artwork.

Sasquatch '08

2008-05-31T17:37:00.000-07:00

So I went to another music festival in Washington State, known as the Sasquatch Festival. This time I didn't go as fancy picture taking and actually mainly let everyone else take pictures. So there won't be very many updates about sasquatch unless I happen to find a good photo or two that I took. such as this pano.

More Photos! (Coachella)

2008-05-08T23:33:00.000-07:00

So... Some photos of shows at Coachella.

Finally!

2008-05-08T21:30:00.000-07:00

Ha! I finally got this pano finished. With the actual Dimensions, this Panorama is actually around 61 inches long (around a meter and a half), and was not terribly fun to put together. I was actually really frustrated because the top half of this Pano didn't align properly and didn't extend all the way to the left side :(.

Ah Well... I'll do it better next time.

Enjoy!

(more to come)

Art

2008-03-18T18:03:00.000-07:00

Ok so new update!!!
These are the art projects (sculptures) that I have done for one of my two art classes. I actually have another class full of art stuff, but I currently have no pics of those.

This was the latest one I did. It is my squire wrapped in electric tape. Even the strings, knobs and tuning pegs are taped.

This is my cardboard "hybrid" clock. The assignment was to put two "complex" unrelated objects together then fashion the idea out of cardboard. I spent 17 hours on this clock due to...

having to cut out the same shape around 20-30 times. It really makes your arm sore.

These last three were our second assignment. we were given three shapes: Cone, Cube and Sphere; and were told to use unconventional materials to build them. This is what I did.

Sphere

Cone

Cube

Old photo

2008-03-09T00:08:00.000-08:00

Here's another old photo I was tinkering around with

More of Vimy

2008-01-10T12:56:00.000-08:00

Okay. Since I still haven't gone and took pictures in forever, I'm kinda straggling on the updates. So I went through all my old Vimy photos and decided to touch up a few and post them, just for kicks. On the bonus side though, I have been doing a lot of random art, so once I finish a piece and photo it and post it.

Grounds at Vimy

The Eiffel Tower behind the 'recently' erected peace monument

The Eiffel Tower through Garett's aviators.

I believe I took this in Trafalgar Square

Big Ben and the Thames River from the London Eye. It was hard to get a decent photo.

Sarah, Danielle and I jumping for the camera.

A stray Dog at Juno Beach (I can't remember the name of the town). They have damn good seafood there. I had clams.

Taken from inside the 'Cheese farm/factory'. Behind us were several rooms filled with cheese. haha, I had alcoholic apple cider here.

Taken in a cathedral in Rouen((?) I don't know if that's how to spell it).

The peace monument erected opposite the Effiel tower. Each pole has a different langauge written on it. Unfortunately I don't know what is written on them.

Again..

2007-12-31T12:19:00.000-08:00

I started playing with the skeleton brushes again...

Art!

2007-12-25T19:27:00.001-08:00

So here is the present I was talking about earlier. This was given to Kyla a little while ago.

Here's some more eyes to look at!

Update

2007-12-20T15:46:00.000-08:00

Well... I'm here to say sorry, cause once again I have become quite lax when it comes to updating and creating things. So I have resolved to post at least once a week with something new.

So right now I am posting to tell you that I have finished an art piece.

however...

This piece is also a christmas present for one of my friends . So, sadly I cannot post it yet. Although I can tell you it looks simply amazing (according to me and one or two others), and you will see it soon. I've also been working on other art pieces (none of them developing very quickly) and hope to post them soon.

for now I will post this:

This is the ever great "The Eye". Originally done by M.C. Escher, I did a copy in pencils that I am quite proud of.

Somehow I find Time to do stuff.

A re-edit of a photo I edited... but never posted...

can you guess who it is?

Update

2007-11-29T13:40:00.001-08:00

sorry I haven't done anything for awhile. School is hectic!

something I spent some time on. another anti-war thing. this was part of an inscription on a grave stone, the whole thing read, "He's not dead, He's just away."

I love Eye's much too much.

2007-10-19T01:36:00.001-07:00

I made these two "CD covers" on Logan's Mac. I was just diddling around with his brushes.

colorful skeletons!

This one really hurts my eyes... and that's why I love it.

2007-10-14T22:53:00.000-07:00

Sorry for the recent lack of creativity everyone. My excuse is school, but that doesn't count. I have been quite un-motivated recently and am now trying to keep up to date with my posts. As i type I am working on an image i will post in the future, but for now I will merely post a sunset picture I took a while back.

All Apologies...

2007-08-26T22:46:00.000-07:00

sorry everyone. there haven't been any posts for a long time because 1st. We moved. and 2nd. I did not have the internet on my computer. so now after almost 2 months i am going to resume posting starting with this one. here is a picture to start off the new posting season.

Update

2007-06-16T16:42:00.001-07:00

sorry everyone, my blog has been on the fritz (wouldn't upload anything), but it started working so here is some things i finally got to post!this was graffiti'd on the side of a big white van, and i absolutely loved it so i took this pic.

Omaha beach.
Omaha beach.
Isaac in his former life.
A girl in church in Roeun, near Normandy.

A picture i took of this stuff these guys sell everywhere. Okay so basically at any big tourist attraction (ie. the effiel tower, palace of versailles, or random street corners) there would be these guys selling cheap trinkets for ridiculous prices. Here at the Palace of Versailles, at the front gate, there was about 30 of these guys in a line. and they would block you as you tried to walk through and try to sell you stuff. and if you say yes to one of them, about seven swarm on you trying to sell you more. they even tried to come on our bus (but the driver kept him off). this guy was in the courtyard and he didn't notice me so i snapped a shot. those guys are crazy i swear!

This was taken in one of the many cemeteries that line the country in and around France. this was a Canadian cemetery and i noticed this poppy in the dirt and decided it would make a good picture, and if i was my English teacher, i would say this symbolizes the ignorance of war, maybe...

The pock marked land of Vimy Ridge. Cannot stray off the path because there may be live explosives in the field, took this one as we were leavin'

The Thames River in Paris. Love the colors on my long exposure shots.

The left statue is the original pic (from google) and the left i edited a bit... just a little bit.

2007-03-28T22:38:00.001-07:00

I am extremely pleased with this one. its all hand drawn, and if i was my teacher, there would be a deeper meaning to it. there probably is one in there, in my subconscious, but currently its just something i drew and really liked.

2007-03-27T21:55:00.000-07:00

This is a little something i just freehand drew on photoshop today. all it is is simple drawings with a simple overlay. tell me what you think of it.

2007-03-26T15:57:00.000-07:00

like i said... more!

2007-03-26T15:55:00.000-07:00

This is my other family dog, buttons. Squirt is below! I'm so happy because i finally got photoshop set up on my computer so there's going to be plenty to come in the next few days as i catch up on my editing.

2007-03-25T15:36:00.000-07:00

PUPPY!

2007-03-14T17:04:00.000-07:00

Hey sorry to everyone, but I've been really busy. I've just got this computer up and running and i still don't have photoshop yet but i have been taking photos. here are a few of the better ones.

w00t!

Coulee shots

2007-02-21T12:18:00.000-08:00

these two photos are from Logan and mine's excursion down into the coulees for some *hopefully* original bridge shot ideas. I like how these two turned out and i'm hoping to add more soon!

2007-02-19T11:05:00.000-08:00

hey anyone who views this site! sorry i don't have much right now and what i do have is either unedited or just not very good. a few days ago i went and took photo's with logan (loganlizzi.blogspot.com) but the photo's i took are at his house. In addition the computer i am currently using is very slow and frequently freezes so i can't get hardly any editing done. however i am continually trying to finish more so i can post them/ use them in my portfolio. any how i just thought i would bring people up to date on things and the picture above is one of my finished works.
This is a picture i took a few summers ago when i was on a student exchange in Japan. i was really glad i got a good picture because i was in the deep end of a pool, on the roof of a building taking this picture. I was praying for a good picture cause it took a lot of work to get this one good pic. anyhow... check back later, i'll eventually have more up!

2007-02-08T22:46:00.000-08:00

Ok so i went to the Billy Talent, Rise Against, Anti-Flag and Moneen concert here in lethbridge and it was definately the best concert I've been at. i was up on the front rails for almost the entire show until i ditched out to go crowd surfing and to mosh. Here are a few pics, most really low quality cause i was in the crowd, they are still unedited and i may repost a few once i get around to it.

First Post

2007-02-07T21:50:00.000-08:00

Ahoy! this is brand new and i don't really know what I'm doing yet so for right now I'm gonna put out a bunch of work I've done in the Past. Enjoy!
