Dance Yourself

in progress

skull city

burn

abstracty.

bad odds

extract

real quick sketch (5 min)... helluva way to start a new month...

the tendrils

definitely one of the worst dreams i've had in awhile...

figure

blue

save yourself

i should probably be embarrassed that i still listen to stabbing westward. ...i'm not though...

embrace

the blow

fourth order of simulacra

if the robot is the third order of simulacra, i suggest that the production of self through multitudes of interwoven simulation (the smile, the attire, the rhythm of speech, the activities/actions, the preferences...) is the fourth order. there is no self. only simulation.

the importance of correct terms in speech acts

ashes to ashes

i had this thought. it was: it's really sad to go from 7 drawings a week to just 1. i guess 2 per week is slightly less pathetic. so i'm going to give that a shot. mondays and fridays. ta-da!

the tower

reach

trying to get back into the swing of things. new drawings every week? i'll do my best... 

battle with the odalisque

i love david foster wallace's 'infinite jest.' one of my favourite parts is the description of the film about medusa fighting the odalisque, where a whole theater of people are slowly turned into stone or gems because they have the misfortune of watching this fight take place.

i wanted to depict what a classical fight (perseus vs medusa) would look like if the perseus in question was fighting wallace's odalisque instead. and losing.

alchemist

and now, for something completely different.

hypnopompia

a less violent rendition of what it's like to suffer from a sleep disorder.

i had just listened to this episode of radiolab, where a woman talked about coping with chronic pain by imagining she was a saint and the pain was somehow a good thing. so i tried to depict what it would look like if you took the same approach with night terrors and hypnopompic hallucinations. if you were really religious about it, wouldn't it be kind of romantic? i mean, hell, you'd be a prophet!
