This weekend was a much needed break from the grind. Plans are in the works for next weekend to continue the mountain excursion for the fall. Lets hear it for the carrot on the end of the stick.
Until next time, COURAGE.
Slowly Growing Deaf.
Hockey is nearing its arrival in full contact glory. With amazement, they are actually broadcasting a large chunk of pre-season games on the NHL Network, which is a nice life preserver when you’re drowning in a sea of football and other soul crushing television that I could give two craps about. Viva la hockey folks, and if you aren’t down with that, I’ve got two words for you….YOUR BORING.
Two Rivers.
No, Beendeleted Inc. hasn’t fallen off the earth yet. We have taken a hiatus from some “social” media outlets lately to concentrate on some other items. I’ d like to say that it has been fruitful, but I’d be lying.
Anways, I have been getting back into illustration. I’ve got some ideas in the hopper, just need to let them flow onto the canvas or computer. Keep checking back here for mas. The Big Four has come and gone, it is getting close to hockey season again and the Delete going to turn up the presence volume to eleven.
Someday Headbangers Ball will get figured out and we won’t have to listen to Eddie Trunk any more. Until then, COURAGE.
The Treadmill Keeps Turning.
A recent posting of the new BATTLES video has made me realize that maybe I haven’t strayed too far away from music yet. You see for the past few years, I’ve taken myself out musically. This really wasn’t something that happened on purpose, but working on our third year of isolation I’ve come to realize that maybe this could help with what seems to be the dark days of the delete.
The visuals in the video are quite nice. As a small ginger, I once tried to fall down an escalator. If it wasn’t for a fur lined hood on my winter coat and a quick grab, I could still rolling on said escalator at the Aurora mall. I guess what I’m looking for is the next fur lined hood to snap me out of my haze. I’ve started illustrating again and will be adding as much of that to the portfolio. I’ve been watching a lot of local news which is hard to do, but I like to put myself in these uncomfortable scenarios for inspiration. Not that I have to stray too far from myself to get uncomfortable, I’ve made a living at that. Hence the few Harmony Korine pieces in my DVD collection.
A communial Head Shake.
Note to self, wearing certain shirts at the grocery store or making heroin jokes at work may result in judging head shakes. Plan accordingly.
The New Face of the Delete.
Deleted Inc. has now been revised once again with a more slimmed down version of the website. There are still things to add, but with the last redesign, it never clicked. I’ll be working on somethings in the near future, new projects, old projects, projects that have been delayed for the past year and a half to try to pick up the pieces and feel like a designer/illustrator/artist again. That is all for now, until next time…COURAGE.
Happy ST Wednesday.
In life, it is easy to be dragged into the mud with mundane details such as the daily grind, pointless work situations and reality television. With this being said, I’ve resorted to proclaiming certain days of the week dedicated to something. For example, today has been declared ST Wednesday, which means that sure I’ll still be going to work as per usual, but Suicidal Tendencies will be the band that is playing on my iPOD today…during every sketch adjustment, client contact, to-do list creation, etc. It doesn’t seem like much, but without such declarations, I believe that the rats have really won.
This past weekend I spent a good amount of time in the mountains with my best friend fly fishing. It was great. In everyday life, I really don’t converse too much face to face, which can sometimes wear on one’s self worth. It has become apparent that I really do need to take vacation days and that some sort of life revampage might be worth something. Don’t worry, I’m not speaking of church.
On the topic of a spiritual revival, I’m redesigning beendeleted.com. I’m not too amped about much of what is up here, and so as the saying goes, it is back to the ol’ drawing board. More on this soon. Until next time…COURAGE.
I listen to math rock, but still have trouble with the quadratic equation.
The beard experiment continues, hence the stupid flyer that was created. I bet THE ANVIL takes this one. That is all for now, until next time…COURAGE.
