Do Not Disturb
Yeah, I'm on vacation, I don't feel like updating, but I have been drawing quite a bit lately. If you want to check out some more of my drawings, go to my DeviantART Page.
Now, back to relaxing on my vacation.

"That's the beauty of argument, if you argue correctly, you're never wrong."
Ok, I've definitely gone overboard with the painting/drawing deal. It does seem to be a very relaxing hobby though. I actually went out and purchased a WACOM Intuos 3 graphics tablet so I could draw a little easier(the mouse is unruly, and inaccurate). So I've been drawing a few things each day, and decided to start a DeviantART page, but since I'm not a subscriber I can only post 4 pictures at a time. But, on good ol' Awful Monkey, I can pack this sucker full of my crummy paintings/drawings! So, here are my latest two "masterpieces." Click the thumbnail for a better resolution version.
The Chairman of the board, good old Frank Sinatra.
This is from one of my favorite photos of Johnny Cash.

"I'm the guy who does his job. You must be the other guy."
Agh! I was so bored that I actually did something artistic for once! This isn't something I normally do(unless you count graphic design), but I decided to paint something. This was inspired by a thread in the Something Awful forums which touted the merits of a wonderful little art program called Art Rage. It has some excellent yet simple tools for creating a wide range of images. The brush and canvas textures are remarkable. Anyway, I was so bored(I literally accomplished every productive thing I could think of around my apartment) that I figured I'd give it a shot. Now, this is my first try at "painting" so be gentle in your critique of my attempt.
PS. The above quote is from another excellent film I saw recently which is titled "The Departed." Just came out on DVD a little while ago.

"Here lies David St. Hubbins... and why not?"
I received my bass guitar last night that I won on ebay, and I must say I am very pleased. Aside from how excellent the guitar looks, it also sounds exceptional. It has a very fast and low action, and I can easily move about the fret board with very little effort, as compared to my Washburn bass. The very low bass output from the humbucker pickups is exactly what I was looking for. I've always wanted a bass that has that "dirty rumble" that you can only achieve with humbuckers. I am very pleased with this purchase, and I know this will be my primary practice bass as it is also the least expensive of my instruments. Now I just need to get a better amp....
