http://www.myspace.com/liquidliquidmusic I got to hang out with Sal Principato (lead vocals/percussion) last year, when he spun records at Holocene in Portland, Oregon. We talked for awhile at an after party and I was happy to find out that Liquid Liquid is working on new music. Everything that they ever recorded was re-released a few years ago on Domino Records.

BrokeAssHand Update

Yep, so my drawing (right) hand did brake.. I just couldn't tell cuz the swelling was so bad. It grew back together funny and now I have a slight lump on top of my hand. The only way it can be fixed is if they re-break it and put a cast on it... It doesn't bother me enough to do that.

ZONGAMIN

I've always dug Zongamin's uncanny music/art. Zongamin live is Susumu Mukai (bass guitar, samples), Leo Taylor (drums), Mao Yamada (guitar), Leon Harris, aka The Egyptian (percussion) and Will Sweeney (guitar, keyboard). Check out Will Sweeney's awesome art in my links!!!

blast from the past

Here's a piece I did back in 1994 when I was attending art school in florida.

Drawn with a KAIMEI LH FOUNTAIN BRUSH PEN

New Brush Pen!

I've always inked my art with a Windsor Newton series 7, No. 0 or 1, but I also use pocket brush pens for quick on the go sketches. I've been using the Pentel brush pen, mostly because the ink is a very rich, intense black, but the pen has man-made nylon bristles and I've always wondered or wished that someone would make a natural hair brush pen. Well, I found one!--
KAIMEI LH FOUNTAIN BRUSH PEN
Heres a description:

Convenient for studio or travel these brush pens have a 100% natural weasel (sable) hair brush head and use a dense black sumi ink cartridge for incredible ink work lettering and drawing. The brush head is 3/8 inch long and comes to a traditional one hair point. Natural hair resiliency is like no other brush experience and is more durable than nylon bristle brushes. The barrel of the pen is hard plastic that has been striped to give the look of stained bamboo. From brush tip to pen base the pen measures 7 inches long.

I found mine on amazon, but I came across a few other cool art suppliers that carry it. Here's a link:

The Pentel brush pen is still great for many reasons and it is more affordable, but each pen has a totally different feeling and effect.

BrokeAssHand

I'm trying to draw comics with a bunk hand.. about a week ago a was drilling into concrete and it bonded up on me and twisted my hand.. swelling is still bad! DAMN power tools!
