Most of you know that some while ago, I decided to return to school to get my degree for digital design. This has left me very little time for personal artwork, and when I do have time to do it, I'm usually not able to finish a piece.

It's also given me time to begin to refine my work a little more and to learn techniques to use that I've previously been unknowledgable in. Techniques that I've wanted to learn for quite sometime.

Most of the reason that I began doing photoshoppery and photo-manipulations to begin with was that I desired to attain a certain look to my work, though I felt that traditional methods in which artist use were parochial at best. Until now.

I've begun incorporating my old style of work into a new direction. I'll have a first piece up here for viewing in a few days as soon as I feel the piece is complete. I'm pretty happy with it as it is right now, but I'm also burnt out on seeing it from working on it the whole weekend. So hopefully by Wednesday I'll have something really rockin for you guys to look at.

Alrighty,

In an effort to help artists further, in the next few days I'll be starting up a stock account. It's mostly going to be alot of the references I personally use from my own collection of images that I use for things.

The main purpose in starting this stock account is...I'm sick of all the stupid ass rules that other stock artists place on their images. The only place I see a need for rules and regulations is in regards to stock photos of people or choice images of objects. I mean someone takes a photo of a turd and places it up for stock, and then suddenly you have to give them credit?? It's a turd people.

SO, that said, unless it's otherwise stated in the actual info of the image itself, use it, abuse it, print it, I don't give a flying f**k.

The secondary purpose is to give high quality stock that you guys can use in your manips or projects. Objects and textures that mimic human skin, stitches in human skin, skin being stretched, wounds etc...There have been several stock artists out there that provided this at one time, but got all huffy and puffy when people used them and they received no credit. To me, that's a little on the toddler side...

I'll announce here when the account is up and running so that you can find it and begin using the materials I'm going to provide to you.

But now you know that I am cold
(Take me out now, I've dropped the mast down)
And now I am found
(Take me out now, I've dropped the mast down)


Without ever letting go I knew you'd gone

Without ever letting go I knew you'd gone astray
Stranded here in this cold atmosphere.
Waiting for the lifeless words to come from your mouth
Enduring every sound

This is not why the cast is hollow
Sending the rats to follow
Under the weight of all these eyes
Fry

But now you know that I am cold
(Take me out now, I've dropped the mast down)
And now I am found
(Take me out now, I've dropped the mast down)

I lay without understanding
I don't know why I feel this way
Oh lay down girl take my world
I know why I can't see your face
I've placed every mole there is to place on your wasted body
Oh, lay down girl and take my world
I know why I can't see your face

As the window left shattered now
We saw the withered body try to shout
You thought the price of your life was devout
And told us some things you can't live without
And was this what was best for us
And was this what was best for us

Just let it show (Rest where you ought to be)
(Block out your misery)
I'll bring you far (Wait for the call)
Well I'll go for it (You left in the hallway)
I'll beg you when you know (People they change)
(And I would still be ashamed)
I'll beg you when it shows (To let the weight of the world)
Well I'll go for it (Rest on your shoulders)
I don't believe the lies (I'll fight until the war is over)
I don't believe the lies (I'll fight until the war is over)
I'll die for you (I'll fight until the war is over)
(I'll fight until the war is over)
I don't believe the lies (I'll fight until the war is over)
I don't believe the lies (I'll fight until the war is over)
It's staged for you (I'll fight until the war is over)
(I'll fight until the war is over)

Left at my feet rests the soul of my brother
Vengeance will fall for the deeds of another

I'm tired of having the door slammed in my face....constantly.
