Sketch Dump

I've been whiz-bangin facebook lately so no posts. Here's some stuff I drew last night while watching "Spaced Invaders." (classic) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100666/

This is my default doodle man who wears his banana hammock with pride. I guess the story on this is he went on a bender and fell out of a plane? I'm not sure. I think I've been looking at too much Renaissance art lately for school.

ROCK THA BANANA HAMMOCK

Not exactly sure about this. They strike me as being Gooooms so that's what i'll call them.

goooooom

This is my good print from the ole woodblocks. I don't think I ever actually posted this picture. It's old now.

Petition

These two are for voting on Turtle VS. Bunny (A Joe Dunn Venture)
http://www.digitalpimponline.com/tvb/?id=1

You send in drawings of your favourite character to vote on who wins. I'm with Turtle.

I'm with Turtle

It says Chris 06 instead of 07 because I'm high on drugs apparently & I can't remember what year it is. I guess it could also be from all the time travelling. . .

And I can't help making a VS. picture. I like making little VS pictures.

Nature's Greatest Feud

That's all for now.
Rock on dudes!

Some things to do for Fun.

I'm bored. So I looked for things to do so as to not be bored. Some of these actually look pretty fun.

Enjoy!

Fun
1. Pretend you've never met, then loudly try out lame pickup lines in a swanky bar. Act like they worked.
2. Go on a walking journey and every fifteen feet draw a chalk arrow in the direction you're going. At the end of the trip, leave a big pile of chalk.
3. Create photo evidence suggesting that you went on an adventure that didn't really happen
4. Go for a drive. You can only make right-hand turns. When you finally get stuck, turn around and then you can only make left-hand turns. Repeat until you find something interesting. Take pictures along the way!
5. Build forts out of furniture and blankets, and wage war with paper airplanes.
6. Go to a major chain bookstore, and leave notes to future readers in copies of your favorite books
7. Write a piece of fiction together. Outside at a cafe. Ask strangers when you get stuck.
8. Try and visit as many people as you can in one night, and turn as many things inside their apartment upside down as you can, without them noticing.
9. Do the lamest tourist thing in your area that you have both secretly wanted to do forever. Have an unabashed good time!
10. Hide and seek in the park
11. Go around the city with sidewalk chalk and draw hearts with equations inside on random things
12. Drive somewhere unknown and have dinner in a city you've never been to. With fake names.
13. Go for a drive with the passenger blindfolded, choosing directions at random. see where you end up
14. Dress up as pirates, commandeer shopping carts, and have a war upon the high seas.. er, parking lot.
15. Go on a search for as many good climbing trees as possible, climb as high as you both can in all of them, compile photo evidence
16. Rent a movie you've never seen before. Set on mute and improvise dialogue.
17. Dress up as pirates and go parrot shopping at local pet stores
18. Go to the airport, get the cheapest, soonest departing flight to anywhere when you show up, and stay there for a weekend.
19. Walk around a city and perform short silent plays in front of security cameras

A Decade of Rock! (well almost anyway)

I thought it was 10 years because I was in my first band when I was 15 but that can't be right becasue that was wehn I was in grade 10 i thought and that was 96 - 97 Ithink. I'm confused. Oh well. Whatever.

I was talking to Dave about bands. This is my band resume.

This is my 7.5th band. I just counted.

1996 to 1998- Snugglebunnies – Nirvana, Green Day Rancid covers - singer
1998 to 99 - T.H.O. – all originals, grungy – bass player
1998 to 99 - Radium – all originals, grungy + a grunge metal cover of “my sharona” (this band was the same band as THO only with a different drummer) – bass player
2000 to 2001 -The Dukes of Hazzard – punk covers - drummer
1999 -The Junior Mints – punk covers & parody songs – drummer/bass player
1999 – 2000 - Pleasure Fish – Guns & roses/Reel Big Fish cover band – Rhythm guitar
2002 – 2003 - Slapstick – mudvayne style original metal band – singer/screamer
2004 to now - Doppelganger Effekt – whatever we cvan come up with – bassplayer/guitar/back up singing.


Zoot Zoot! So I guess I've never really been without a band for longer than a few months since I became able to be in one. And in my first band i wasn't really able as I couldn't sing, I was the singer because we were friends and i couldn't play an instrument well enough to be in the band.

Keep rockin and rollin folks! And don't forget to come watch us play on December 1st at the Cafe java around 7 or 8pm i think.

Procrastination

Good evening.

I am "working" on a group presentation with a very vague guidelives from my group who seems unconcerned that nothing seems to be done. I'm a little lost and I have re-confirmed my dislike of group work.

So, here I am, sur la net.

I have some Boston pictures (i totally went to Boston! It was rad.) but I should formulate those a bit so here are some bits and pieces of possible interest.


This, I found during my shark hat research.
FA-BOOM
For those of you who don't know much about animals this is a fire-breathing sloth. They're mostly found in forests of Saskatchewan and Northern Manitoba. Watch out for those mofos, they're slow but you know. . fire.

This is a picture of myself that I forgot about that my mom has. It's a proof from my grad photos from High School. this is pose number 3.
Chris - Cultural Trendsetter

This is part of the Birthday card my sister sent me that was totally bodacious.
Raphael is cool but rude - Gimme a break.
I'm supposed to be making the Ninja Turtle Grimace but I don't think I'm quite pulling it off.

AND
The crown jewel of this post. Earlier in the week for whatever reason Etienne and I were having an email dsicussion about the apocalyptic forms of the 4 evangelicals (St. Luke - Ox with wings, St. Mark - Lion with wings, St. Matthew - Man with wings, and St. John - Eagle with. . wings) and he was saying how it was lame that Luke and Mark got to be cool chimerical critters and Matt and John were just these kind of lame-o things. So we were discussing what better evangelical forms would be. So during a boring presentation in one of my classes I present to you. . . SAINT CHRISTOPHER!
I'll help you travel mofo.
And since St. Christopher got his saintly-ness taken away by the church because he wasn't real enough for the catholics, I don't have any competition. I guess I have to write a gospel first but that's just a technicality I think.

Rock and roll folks!

New Discovery by Cousteau & Crew

So my home-boy Curtis bought some plain foam mesh hats with the intention that I (being a venerable artiste = AR-TEEST) would draw something neat-o on them. I didn't have any ideas and i kept putting it off because drawing right away in marker without pencilling it in first terrifies me, especially on someone else's stuff. BUTT about a month ago I found an idea that i thought was pretty rad and I just drew it every chance I got to practice in hopes that I would be able to do it on the hat with out messing it up. This was agood plan but it didn't quite work out. Oh well. It still worked but time will be the judge of my success I suppose.

So here it is: A Fire Breathing Shark.

Here's my first drawing of said shark the fire breath came out looking like a nasty burp so I added the tacos bit. it's fire from a flame thrower so it didn't quite look how i wanted. Drawing realistic fire is also hard for me.

Oh I do beg your pardon Gentlemen

SO that turned out alright but the fire was no good. Thankfully there are A LOT of people o nthe internet who like to chronicle making things that breathe fire so there's a wealth of flame throwing pictures out there. This one worked out nicely. I drew it at work obviously as it's on "customer service" note paper and the shark is a rush job.

Boohyah!

And here's the finished hat. I think the shark turned out sort of fat but the idea is still cool and it looks alright.

Zoot!

Ning ning!

CRAMMY GRAMMIES

These pictures kind of remind me of myspace pictures.
It was also my 25th birthday yesterday. I was thinking of making like a big "through the ages of Chris" montage but like i have time for that. Maybe when I'm 26.

ROCK AND ROLL (even if you're a quarter dead. . . assuming I'll live to be a hundred. anyway)

Look ma, I'm on TV

Here's a video of one of the tunes we played at the Granada. it's posted on our myspace but maybe you don't go there much.
Stay tuned for more possible videos of tunes or so-so recordings we made the other day that hopefully will get transfered into a digital form soon. (and will hopefully sound reasonable)

I can't get the embed to work so here's a link:
http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=1413291404

Dang interwub.

The tune's called Russian Dance. It's pretty fun. The sound is sort of bad so you can't hear the guitar or bass much and that makes the piano sound off, but it's really not, I think it's jsut the acoustics and the tiny camera mic. Next time I'll hook up an external mic if possible.

ROCK OUT!

p.s. it was filmed most graciously by my lovely wife. She says, sorry about the shaking. It really is hard to hold video cameras still, I can vouch for her on that one.
