Much to blind to see the damage he's done, sometimes a man must awake to find that, really, he has no one...

Die Young And Save Yourself

So you know how I was going on about wanting to draw something, but waiting for the right subject matter, well today I found it. None other than the genius himself, Jesse Lacey from Brand New. It's from my favourite picture of him. Plus, I was bored and wanted to kill some time.



This is a first draft, I know there are some parts that are messed up. If it was important, I would go back and change them, but it's only for me so I don't really care. It actually didn't take as long as I had imagined. I have loads of plain paper, loads of pencil, and loads of time, I might do a few more. It's quite enjoyable when I'm drawing just for the sake of drawing.

In other creative news, I wrote my first poem in almost a month or so, and probably only the second one since I started this blog. The trouble is poems, drawings and le blog all take up the same slot, both in time and self expression, so it's normally one or the other. It's like when The X-Factor and Strictly Come Dancing are on at the same time and you try to watch both, you really just end up watching nothing. Well anyway, no surprise that I've slipped down the rankings (it's based on activity) but I do enjoy being on that site, there's some awesome people on there with who I've had an online relationship for over a year now. Even though, I'm quite pleased with the outcome I'm not going to be sharing it, well not at the moment anyway. Picture and poem in the same post, don't want to spoil you!

I don't know if it's the fasting, or the late nights, or the tiredness, but whatever it is, I'm having awesome dreams almost every night. It tends to be about the last thing I did before I went to sleep, whether that be something that I've seen, someone from a conversation, or the visual images in a song. Long may it continue. I have 58 Brand New songs in my ipod, I've had them on and off throughout the day and I've just finished listening to the lot, same again tomorrow! :)
