when someone looks at one of my drawings and can tell who i drew. except for when it's me, and maybe when it's Steven. you would think i would find my own art more representational than i do. i hardly ever think my figures look like anybody.

i'm really not good with these. whenever i make a list of top 50ish songs or films or etc, i feel obligated to illustrated the breadth of my interest [if also my fetish for doubles]. i don't want to repeat one artist's work 10-20 times in my list. but if i wrote out my actual top 50 favorite songs at this moment, it would more-or-less be about 10 songs apiece by about 5 artists, with a couple exceptions. i'm mostly interested in personalities. i like to have lots of pieces of a personality at once, lots of artworks, by a single artist, to look at simultaneously.

but, in the genre of 'top 50 songs at this moment list', i could do 38. here they are
