yours truly...

here's a self-portrait from awhile back - easter morning 2004... I woke up feeling a certain way, & felt like I needed to capture that feeling - so, out came the digital camera (r.i.p.) & the graphite...
so why in blazes am I putting up a drawing from two years ago?... well, I just got a haircut the other day, & I more or less look like this again - plus I still like it... (& the scanner-drivers are missing)

Egypt & Joe Kubert...

so I came across a book that I hadn't seen in awhile, "Superheroes: Joe Kubert's Wonderful World of Comics"... flipping through it, I thought it'd be cool to go through some of the exercises, or what-have-you... so I'm at the section on Egypt, I go flip through some reference books & come up with two elements I thought I liked well enough to incorporate (I wanted something simpler than alot of Egyptian derived designs): the scarab (possibly on a belt or some sort of ornamental wear), & this mark under the left eye, which I was told is the mark of Horus...
after I did this sketch, the same person who told me it was the mark of Horus, told me it's only under the left eye... ah, well, I didn't know...
I still like it... leastways, enough to keep playing with it...

X-3

while the wallpapers that came out for X-3 were cool, I decided I wanted a different vibe - hence this little photoshop frankenstein was born...
so, while I can't do much else with this thing (other than use it), I can put it up so anyone else who wants to can use it...
just click on the image & you should be able to get the full size image at Flickr...

probably "point"

thank you for staying
while my heart is heavy
thank you for being here

old things tire me
and I find myself struggling
as other people's pain
becomes my own

I see words and I hear actions
but the two become confused

but right before I say I don't want anymore
I know it isn't true

and I know I don't know
how to love you like I should
at that point I'm closer
than I've ever been before

I don't know how to see you
could it be we don't know who you are
don't know if I should be here
until I remember where we are
