The 20 year old man from Greenland

This may be a birthday present to me but it's better than no present at all.It's an old-timey portrait of your truly.I thought just because I can alter an all ready old picture of abe doesn't mean I can't create something of my own that looks old and alter that.So I present to you "the 20 year old man from Greenland".

Abe Lincoln and Icct Hedral

Abe Lincoln

The other day I bought "...I care because you do.",an aphex twin album (I now own 7 in total!)
It's one of his best albums a lot more cohesive and it's ambient but almost dancable.Anyways it has piece on it (i feel free calling it a piece because I believe this is his most artistic album besides SAW II) called "Icct Hedral" which instantly became one of my faveorite aphex twin songs.It's what I would call a "Space Opera" it's just very space like and will likely inspire me whenever I draw images of "_____" the space alien/human that has appeared a few times in my art.It's orchestral and it swells and whistles and sounds more open than almost any song from here to track 8 disc 2 on "SAW II".Anyways I went to bed the night I bought the cd and skipped to Icct Hedral fully excpecting to enjoying roaming around a foreign planet in my imagination,I was shocked and appalled when an image of Abraham Licoln popped into my head,it was an image of abe looking behind him in an almost impossible turn of his head and his neck had a weird elongated look to it,and to me it was an image of him just before he was shot but he was staring right at me.so it of course creeped me out and i stopped listening to the song.It still remains a great song despite the creepy image I relate it to.anyways I have tried to replicate this image as best I could using an actual photo of lincoln the image has been manipulated in multiple ways,his head has beed flipped and rotated and his to neck has been added about five inches.it turned out almost perfect,not quite of course.listen to the song while viewing the image and you'll almost have the same excperience I had.

This is a picture of me with my new girlfrend.Im probaby surprising most of you out there because ive kept it a secret for a long time!!! Teh reason is that I think she has so hot Im a little scared that other people will go after her!!!!! 
Her name is murphy which is a guys name but can be a ver pretty girls name too!!!!
this picture of murphy and i was taken when we were walking down the sidewalks in downtown brandon.we were talking about art because she likes art and so do i.she looks happy because she was talking about picassos paintings she likes his art espescially "guarneca" i dont like picasso so im sad on this picture  .Her eyes are red because the flash was too bright and made her "red-eye"but her eyes are very pretty .i tell her i like them and they are very blue.
I bought that coat that shes wearing at le chatou.most of the clothes there are slutty but this jacket wasn't slutty so i bought it for her,now she wears it lots

This took me longer to create than mabye it needed to.I'm please with it though.Why wouldn't I be?Look how great I look!Mom's worried that I put too much pride in my abilities to make "dark" images so this was created as a little diversion.A little light and cheesy.

The Fish
|
|
|
Hello sleepy world.I've stayed up extra late to put up a new picture so as not to have to smush it with my preceeding post."The fish" started as a "twisted picture" (does anybody even remember what those were?check out my ancient posts if you're curious)and it has retained some of it's crappy quality that is prevalent in that set.It's another image i suppose of "_____" from the "terah" picture a few posts back.This time,however I've super-imposed my own face,shirt and feet onto him making it more of a self-portrait.and people can't seem to figure out what is in his hand (?) someone said they thought it was a turnip,and somone else said they thought his hand was swollen.I've always had pride in my ability to draw a decent heart but it looks like a flunked out here.The figures on the right are dead,i think.much like the "just like that" twisted picture of long ago post.
A bit of trivia for you that will give you more insight into the picture.The picture is named "The Fish" not after the big fish on the left in the background,but is actually named "The Fish" for the central,main character.

Our Abandoned World
|
|
Our family friend Paul,Jesse and I,all went exploring a few abandoned places for the last hours before sunset.Paul has explored most of the abandoned Farmyards around here so he took Jesse and I to two of his faveorite ones.On the way we stopped at Black's farm once again,where I took a few more photos,one is a portrait of the elaborate pulley system located in the loft of the barn and I also got a few shots of Jesse and Paul in the loft from down below.
We visited Virdens old abandoned airplane Hanger afterwards.That is a wonderful place.The interior of the hanger is beautiful.Very large and open.(the ceiling leaves much to be desired as there were still snow drifts here and there under the large gaping holes.There were many more rooms in the building than I had excpected.Bathrooms and office rooms were complety destroyed by "Grad '99",We found a few untouched toilets,a total miracle.porcelain must be a blast to destroy,or something.Graffitti was extremly prevalent and apperently 666=devil! The office hallway had graffitti on the left wall,i photoshopped it out.If the y can destory the wall I can destroy th epicture.Who would have thunk it?I did come across a treasure in the hangar.It's an old "workers compensation of Manitoba" poster.It says "So great a loss,and so little needed to prevent that loss".it features a hand holding a walking cane and a big pair of eye protective goggles in front of it.An extremly "Brazil"-type poster.It is ripped and tattered but still legible.I want more of these types of posters.
After our visit to the Hanger we visited a nearby farmyard that is in much better shape than the blacks farm.And we came to the conclusion that the owner must have died because there is far to much stuff still hangin around,Coats toothpaste,closets full of clothes,a barrel with a dead fish or rat floating inside etc.etc.unfortunatly by this time the memory stick on the camcorder was almost full so there isn't that many photos to show.

Hand after Art

|
He paused for a Moment before the Arrival of the Wicked Masses
|
|
|
"You can try to use the password reminder if you seem to forgot these details."I made a typo in my password and this is what came up.can you spot the bad grammer?
I'm so pleased.I've been having major bouts of inspiration lately.I've been creating so much new art.
The image titled "He paused for a Moment before the arrival of the Wicked Masses" is an image that appeared right when I closed my eyes one night in bed.When I saw this image I instantly held onto it in my mind but because I was in bed I was too lazy to get out and sketch it out.so I took a mental picture and sometime the next day I remembered.
It was greener in colour and instead of the furnace on the left it just dissapeared into blackness,but the end result turned out quite a bit the way I'd seen it.It's an image of a glowing human in an old industrial facility,he's in a sort of cowering posture and a large evil crowd is about to come down a ramp towards him. It was amazingly detailed the way I saw but I can't quite get the detail in with the mediums I used (pencil,pencil crayons and dry pastels) so I tried my best,and I'm quite pleased with it.
The other picture here is an image of my hand after rubbing pastels.sort of a stupid picture.

Also an image of my door,if you can't make out all the tiny images.tough! aslo,if you look just above my face in the center of the door you can see my first drawing of "_____" (see previous foto entry)

Landscape with Knife.And some very hidden images of me.

Here's an image from inside me.If you laugh at it,I'll take that as a personal attack.Just kidding go ahead and think what you will of it.I'm kidding about the my taking offense bit,but not about this being a very personal picture and story (read it on my blog at www.thehitcher.blogspot.com).
the character "_____" is from another image I drew once upon a last year.the rest of the drawing was drawn with old classic religous paintings in mind.
I've recently come across a painter whom I find very inspiring for when I'm going for a more depressing look and feel.His paintings are overly grotesque so I'm not going to mention his name,for fear of everyone thinking I'm some sort of freak.I'll give you two hints,his initials are F.B. and he loved butcher shops (he was quoted saying "well,we're all made of meat,we are potential carcasses" his paintings seem to be about guilt.you feel sick when you look at his paintings kind of like you're a vouyer to the images.My faveorite f his paintings is a "triptych" which is a painting made up of three seperate panels.the right panel even features what looks like someones shadow in the bottom corner making you feel even more guilt for the poor soul in the picture.
I find it hard not to shudder at his paintings so he gets extra points.

Kid for Today
|
|
|
Hey,I have more pictures of the abandoned farmyard.some really good ones will appear eventually,but for today.I want to display some of my art.I will post one of my newest digital images.It may be evident that everything but the background was created with mspaint.But Its not a shaded piece with fancy realism so I thought I could get away with it.I credit a childrens book called "Our animal friends at night-time" for the mood.There is one sillohetted image in that book of silohetted children playing in the sunset and it inspired me for the tone of this picture.And I also credit Boards of Canada, yet again, for the title."Kid for today" is a very beutiful piece of music from a BoC CD I just bought called "in a beautiful place out in the country".It's a mini-album so it was only 8 dollars,but I'd say it's easily on par with both of the full-length albums.each song is absolutly gorgeous.anyways I was listening to it when I came up with the specifics of this picture and I think the title fits the picture wonderfully.For best results,listen to the song while viewing the image,it's like a multimedia sensual overload!
the second image is a digital still of two of my newer drawings.untitled i guess.One is an image of a guy with his tongue hanging out his mouth and the other is a pair of wild-eyes.I think they are the eyes of the "logan rock witch".the first drawing is funny to me because he started out with an unclothed,bare chest.but I decided to lighten the mood of it by adding a shirt.and then i delved itno the absurd by putting him in a preppy-type striped shirt and put a necklace around his neck.so it's reall supposed to be sort of funny and disturbing.
