Artist's Comments

White Tooth Man

Said the plain clothes cop to the beauty queen
�"I�'ve seen nothing but a spoke in a wheel�"
So she gave up her crown to a kid with a crutch
And they both felt cheated after closing the deal
And the white tooth man, I ran with him
Got all cut up from pissing out in the weeds
And a fight upstate with a broken blade
And a wife whose finger never wanted a ring
Said the plain clothes cop to the Indian chief
�"I�'ve made nothing but an honest mistake�"
The postman cried while reading the mail
And we all got trampled in the Christmas parade
And the white tooth man who sold me a gun
A map of Canaan and a government bond
Said, "�I love this town, but it ain�'t the same�"
The ski mask ripped as he was putting it on
Said the plain clothes cop to the holy ghost
"�I�'ve heard nothing if it wasn�'t the wind�"
And we all got sick on a strip club meal
While the statehouse was frying all the witches again
So the white tooth man with his kids in the car
And a wad of money that was already spent
Said, �"I love my dog but she just ran away
She�ll keep running like the world never ends�"

Because Samuel Beam is divine and there is something about this song that I can never quite get out of my head.

Incidentally, this also works rather well as a desktop background. Fancy that.

From my artist's journal. Which is almost chock full; time for a new one, one of these days.

there's this lovely compositional effect, with the stark white of the envelope balancing the tea(?)-stained page, the colours of the cards being repeated in his shirt, and just the dude staring right at you with his ink-lined eye-baggy eyes. basically, i just really love this (: how in the world did you manage to get the text on so straight? i can barely write straight, let alone print text that straight (:

Thank-you : )

The page is actually a cream colour on its own, but I also have this chestnut coloured ink that I diluted to use more as a wash over most of the paper. As for getting the text straight, if you look, there's actually dotted lines; the book I've been using is intended as a journal but I'm not so much writing in it as making it into a mess =P So I cheated :D

This is so beautiful. I'm considering putting it as my desktop background as well, unless you say otherwise.
I love Sam Beam. He looks like Jesus. And he should be. His words are as soft as your pen strokes. This makes me want to melt into a nice little pretty puddle.

I am a faulty string of blue Christmas lights.
You swim through frequencies. You let that stranger in.
As I'm blinking off and on. And off again.

I do the same thing in my journals. I have envelopes labeled, "Things that matter"

Stunning composition. I love the detailing and colors. Great mixture of words and illustration. Neat patterns too.

Thank-you very much : )

Desktop to your heart's content ;)

He definately exudes that Jesus aura, my friend asked me if I drew Jesus to which they recieved a furrowed eye-brow. It doesn't really make any sense at all for me to draw Jesus.

I love my journal. It's the most artistic thing I've ever done with anything, but it's such a difficult thing to share; not because of it's content, but because of it's venue. It's not the most...it's just a much better thing to feel and view in person overall. And I do like to share it because it feels like a better expression than anything I could say.

This is beyond cool. This is amazing.
I think this is possible my favorite of all of your work!
The envelope really adds something too. That, and I really admire how you blended the colors and linework with the words. The words themselves must've taken forever!
Just overall, everything about this is great! I love it!

Aw, thanks ;)!

I find that I also prefer the things that I have in my journal, but the journal tends to be a constant WIP. It's never really done done, but I think this one is getting there. Some of it's so old, I'll be glad to start a new one.
