Well this was my 2nd band audition this week. Jammed with a guy named Bill McLauglin, who plays a pretty mean bass. He plays in a very aggressive manner. He wants to do a combination of surf and hard rock and punk. Anyway, we had a decent jam. Not sure if he’ll call me back for another jam. Our styles weren’t exactly similar, but it’s not entirely impossible that he may call back. In any case, I’ll keep working on my own music till I get another band together.

Anyone who knows me well will tell you I’m always up to something.
So last night after my last post actually, I had my “audition” with Larry Chandler of local surf band, The Skegs.
Well it was more of a get to know eachother and jam session. It was a good first meeting. Larry plays in a very flowery, atmospheric way.
Almost lyrical (if you can imagine a guitar behaving lyrically). My
approach to surf music is more angular with edgy chords. I like to play in an aggressive manner.

We mostly showed eachother song of our newer songs we had been
writing, and we had a few moments of synchronicty. We both saw there would be some great potential for our dueling guitars to create some fun and exciting music. I hope he calls back and wants me for another jam.

On the job front, I just signed my paperwork with Ebay today. I can’t wait to get started!

Working on a new pinup illustration… stay tuned for me to post when it’s done.

Well, here I go again with a new blog!

A lot of exciting things happenning right now. First I’ll be
starting a contract gig with Ebay soon. Things have been good artistically as well. I think I’m finally out of my “post-art school depression.” I feel like I used to before college – I’m actually drawing 4 or 5 nights a week again.

Last year I got into a comic book called Hawaiian Dick. Picture Hawaii around 1955. Hard bolied detectives and a splash of the supernatural makes this a fantastic cocktail. Currently I’m reading the second series and decided to post something on their official message board. The author and artist of the series said they like my work!!!

Anyway, here’s the piece I posted:
