I'm going to try to keep a sketchblog. We'll see how that goes.

I just got my Wacom tablet all hooked up, and my Adobe Creative Suite all properly installed (I had all this stuff installed on my old compy, but not my shiny new laptop... and I can't stand to be in the office anymore, so I had to relocate to my lappy. Her name is Pachalappy.)

So, here's my first sketch on my Wacom tablet in months. Possibly a year, or more. It was fun!

Creepy all-seeing eyeball.

Cool vid

I think the song has its moments, but this is worth watching/listening for the video.  They are Swedish but there is a certain Seattle sound to it.  Maybe it's the depressing, long winters....

Playground romance unfolds, Peanuts style, in "Hold it in":

Now here is a genius who happened to make music.  Not that his tunes are incredibly catchy, but they are incredibly experimental. 
And an equally difficult-to-watch video to go along with it.  This is the same artist that encoded weird things into his songs....  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windowlicker

This has been matching my mood the best lately.
Badass and beautiful, with excellent rhythm.

Speaking of rhythm, this kind of thing takes my breath away when it's live.  I love surprises, so something like this on a street corner...  It would be the best day of my life.

I actually DID see "Kodo" live when I was very young, and they came to play in Pittsburgh.  My dad thought they were so neat he bought their album to prove he was there.  And, yes, they really are this cool:
Careful if you're at work, there's a sort-of naked guy at 1:15.  There is naked butt.

The sexy, modern version of "Tron":

And goddamn this super-catchy song.  Warning, it's a "butt video".  I want to have a behind like that...  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bd9Z_MwzBgw
