Art Show

Well I am currently working on new artwork for my upcoming solo show in May 2009. I have been continuing with the organism inspired artworks using mostly color pencil and black India ink pens. They are very organic in nature. This work has even more influence from the infamous Justin Furstenfeld of Blue October. His lyrics are very influential to me in the fact that we have very similar demons that we face each and every day. Blue October will be releasing their new album in March but I have heard some of the tracks that will be on the next album. There is one song that is very influential in my life and sums up a lot of the beliefs that I want to hold on to each day. The song is called "Blue Skies" and some of the lyrics which I think are life changing and very powerful are as follows: " I need a fresh start on the roller coaster made for coasting, its time to wake, time to make up, time to shake these memories, its time to leave the past in the past and lace up a new set of shoe strings.... I've broken every bone and fought through what felt never ending, I thought my head was made of sadness but my heart is mending, I scream at sunsets, give applause to what I can't control and then somehow laugh at how the moon divides in ocean soul..."
I have many daily struggles; my mind is full of thoughts, fears, regrets, uncertainties, anger, doubt, and uncertainty. But thank goodness I have my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, my art work and my daily dose of Justin and Blue October. Their lyrics speak to me so passionately because I feel like he is talking about me and my trials.
Anyway, pictures of the new artwork will hopefully be posted soon.
