So today, I road my bike from Stow to Fryeburg. Out of curiosity, while I was biking against the wind in a wide open field, I fiddled around for my harmonica in my pocket, and just as I pulled it out, the breeze I was biking up against began to blow through my harmonica, and the harmonica began to virtually play itself. A deep and consistent drone of harmony. I placed the harmonica up against my ear to get a better listen, and as I reached the top of a hill, I slowly accelerated downward, faster and faster. On my ten speed, I crouched down low, pushed down hard on the pedals, and with my harmonica and my face low and close to the handlebars, the harmonica started to play its drone louder and louder, with great intensity.

Art FAIL
Okay, so here I am talking about my art again..
ANYWAYS. Here's an old piece I just came across not to long ago..
The funny fact about this piece, is that it's actually a complete and utter failure.
Okay, so I was doing the usual aerosol paint space themed gig, with an interesting attempt at creating an ocean, with a rising/setting planet/moon on the horizon.You can also see my attempt at clouds, where I had painted in white.. So anyway, I was letting the thing dry, obviously not very satisfied with it, that I had left a sheet of news paper over it. When I returned to it, a tad bit disappointing, I ripped off what I could of the dried on news paper.. And VUALA!
But I must say, I enjoyed what came out of it. Certainly it doesn't hold any real narrative, just being a big tangle of mistakes all in one. But I'd have to say for myself, that the news paper gave it some real depth.. Somehow..
And that is why I say LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES! Because sometimes, they can give you some good insight... Or in my case, they can just look kinda cool.

The 'Astromobile': Complete!
Rarely do I ever go through with these ridiculous ideas of mine, but I finally pulled through with one. With a little help from my friend Julie, I have completed.. THE ASTROMOBILE!! (That 'thing' I mentioned in that older post)
Gaze in wonder at these terrible quality pictures. (They do no justice)

One day..
There are days I could blog about ANYTHING. ..And then there are days like this where I can't think at all. It's the beginning of summer vacation, that beginning week where everything around me just STOPS... and then I realize "Hey, No more school!? I don't have to think anymore!". And it's almost as if my creative flow is on lock down.
In the meantime, I've painted you all this pretty picture.. of me..
Hope you enjoy it!
