Fuck the Vote

it's Halloween and i'm in such an absurdly terrible mood. i just got my laptop back, which is great news, but yeah, turns out the hard drive died and i lost the entire contents. yeah of course i have backups of some of it, no of course i don't have backups of all of it. yeah naturally i lost all manner of cool shit including some of my own art. swear to god, i was turning my computer on to _execute a new backup_ when the hard drive failed. precisely at that moment. i had a brand new LaCie drive out of the box, ready for its first backup. bleh. plus, tonight, circumstance prevented me from heading to the West Village Halloween parade and photographing it, as was my plan. yessy yessy yessy enough enough enough

so ok: this drawing. day-glo ink has a long tradition of being used in future-primitive type art, so i wanted to mess around with it while exploring stuff with color. i used highlighters on this one, and as you can see, i had a pretty hard time drawing with them- sloppy stuff. also, when i first started drawing, i got this absurd idea in my head that i wanted to draw dinosaurs. i mean, why? i need photographic reference to draw most things, so fucking hell, why dinosaurs? maybe it's a project for later in life or something, but this particular dinosaur drawing, to me, says: Illustrious Future Ahead In Designing Trapper Keepers. yeah, so. dinosaurs are not actually a muse, i don't think. not right now anyway.
