self-portrait

About 13" x 14" charcoal on paper

This was for a figure drawing class assignment and I think it came out pretty well.

leaden brooding

Music I've been listening to lately: Intronaut - "Void" & "Challenger", Caribou - "Andorra", Cephalic Carnage - "Lucid Interval", Melvins - "Stoner Witch", Lustmord - "Heresy", Matmos - "The Rose Has Teeth In The Mouth Of The Beast", Neurosis - "Given To The Rising"

A book I'm reading: "Cat's Cradle" by Kurt Vonnegut

A book I'll be reading next: "Jung and the Alchemical Imagination"

Some films I watched recently: "There Will Be Blood" (incredible), "Invocation of my Demon Brother" (nice Kenneth Anger short), "El Topo" (Jodorowsky brilliance, it's tied with "Santa Sangre" as my favorite, but I'll be watching "Holy Mountain" tomorrow)

Music just added to now playing: Sleep - "Holy Mountain"

now to sleep :)

sketches

School starts up again tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it!
