i decided to illustrate something involving music. i drew a musician smoking a cigarette (because i feel like that's what all these lame rockstars do these days). i thought it would be cool to have musical notes as the smoke fuming from the stoag. hmmm grey, black, whites for the water color on bristol. touched it up on photoshop. gave it a browner overlay because i'm addicted to the color brown (mmmm brown) i like how it turned out overall, he looks odd. i like that.
on the subject of music. i really am in love with animal collective's 'merriweather post pavillion'. i know the reviewers at pitchfork are known to be pretentious indie d-bags (according to hipsterrunoff: alt-bags) but i completely agree with their review of the new record. the new album is beautiful. i could describe it as the beach boys harmonies, a lot of lsd, a lot of layered samples, and a lot of synthesized arpeggios all mixed in a hodgepodge of musical genius. the lyrics are simple yet honest, and i love the songs 'my girls', 'brothersport', 'summertime clothes'. i highly suggest stealing it from the internet, or getting the lp (it's not out yet on cd) by the way! it's already making it's way up the charts in sales, and it's ony out on vinyl. how sick?
i'm also enjoying the justice documentary. it's hilarious, you could easily find it online.
