Big fan of the "auto fix" button on my shitty photo editing program.
Honestly.

Current Work in Progress: Jesus Camp
So yeah, not my political statement or anything.
It's just, have you seen Jesus Camp? There's this compelling little kid Levi, who aspires to be a preacher. He even does a few sermons throughout the documentary. He's homeschooled and taught that evolution and global warming is a myth. You know, all that extremist stuff. Anywho, this shot blew my mind. I mean, yeah, it's set up to do that, but hey. It says something.
The more I think about it, I hate it really. But I really wanted to draw that sweet rattail.
I took a series of pictures today that I hate. I also kind of hate this drawing. Man, it's one of those days.
Snow Day
Rather, Ice day.
Which, reminds me. Olivia Locher has taken my favorite series of pictures thus far this year. It's her Ice Storm.

Great Performances and Pimps
Warning: this involves tap dancing and stripping.
I remember, as an impressionable 14 year old, finding this incredibly attractive in every way something can be attractive. After viewing it tonight, I still agree.
I've been thinking about great performers and performances lately. Movies and actors, I guess. Real theatric shit, man. Intense scenes, scenes that require real talent. Lookin to the greats. And, Christopher Walken man. He's got it. Watch "The Deer Hunter". They all have it in that, but christ man. Also, the Sicialian theme in "True Romance". Walken and Hopper, man. KILL it! What an incredible villian, you know? He plays the best kind.
Which brings me to my next point - in the scene I just posted, Christopher Walken plays a pimp. A real slick one, you know. No funny business. Pimps are always one of the most fucked up characters you can have in -- anything. SO... I've decided that I think I'm going to research pimp culture.
What do you think?
I feel like I may have gone off the deep end and no one is going to be able to relate to me at all soon.
