I could be...

Will I ever change the journey?
Will the hushed tones disappear?

- Donna Lewis

Getaway

If I could ride this slide into forever
What would I give to getaway
That pain that stayed
Seemed like forever
-Train - Getaway

Where does the good go?

its love that leaves and breaks the seal of always thinking
you would be real happy and healthy strong and calm
...where does the good go?
Tegan and Sara - Where does the good go?

The girl with the broken smile

Know all of the things that make you who you are
Maroon 5 - She will be loved

Elizabeth Bennet

"This is not fair. You wish to think all the world respectable, and
are hurt if I speak ill of anybody. I only want to think you perfect,
and you set yourself against it. Do not be afraid of my running into any excess,
of my encroaching on your privilege of universal good-will. You need
not. There are few people whom I really love, and still fewer of whom I
think well. The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with
it; and every day confirms my belief of the inconsistency of all human
characters, and of the little dependence that can be placed on the appearance of
merit or sense." (Ch. 24) Pride & Prejudice

My first attempt with Charcoal & Pastels. 30 mins.

This one is for the rainy days...

Spring came, rain fell
we ended up nowhere

S Club 8 - Spring came, rain fell

I don't know about you, but some rainy days if you are in the right mood its nice to hear some "rainy" songs.

My playlist would have to include:

• Travis - Why does it always rain on me?
• S Club 8 - Spring Came, Rain Fell
• Prince - Purple Rain
• Guns & Roses - November rain
• Radiohead - High and Dry

Evan Rachel Wood

Yes...no more Stereophonics rush now its a little bit of an Across the Universe rush...and since I posted a video with the last one here is "If I fell".

Jim Sturgess- Charcoal 1.5 hrs

♬...stick around, and it may show...But I don't know...♬

Sign on the window

Sign on the window says "Lonely,"
Sign on the door said "No Company Allowed,"
Sign on the street says "Y' Don't Own Me,"
Sign on the porch says "Three's A Crowd,"

Bob Dylan - Sign on the Window

A Comet Appears

The boy saw the comet and he felt as though his life had meaning. And when it went away, he waited his entire life for it to come back to him. It was more than just a comet because of what it brought to his life: direction, beauty, meaning.
There are many who couldn’t understand, and sometimes he walked among them. But even in his darkest hours, he knew in his heart that someday it would return to him, and his world would be whole again… And his belief in God and love and art would be re-awakened in his heart.

One Tree Hill

Last night I saw the season finale from One Tree Hill's season 6. Yet, one of my favorite quotes (meaning the one you can read above this) comes from the episode Hundred.

Ps. The title is from a song by The Shins - A Comet Appears

Do I have something to worry about?

quick one...15 mins, charcoal.

Do I have something to worry about?
He replied: No.
In the end, turns out he was right...just not as he intended.
At least one thing was true

I've been reading lots of Twitter Twister Stories, which are twitter stories made of the exact 140 characters, and those inspired this post. Maybe I'll try to illustrate more later.

As Time Goes By

Milo

Milo Ventimiglia

Chad Michael Murray

Yet another One Tree Hill sketch...yet another face study... but with brand new charcoals :)

Pride and Prejudice

"There is a stubbornness about me that never can bear to be frightened at the will of others. My courage always rises at every attempt to intimidate me."

Elizabeth Bennet to Mr. Darcy from Pride & Prejudice

Blame it on the black star

What are we coming to?
What are we gonna do?

Blame it on the black star
Blame it on the falling sky
Blame it on the satellite that beams me home

Radiohead - Black Star

I know it kind of looks like a flowerish star, but its just 'cause its *that* special haha

What dreams may come pt. 3

As Anna Nalick said: If I get it all down on paper, it's no longer inside of me, threatening the life it belongs to...

ps. new label: Dreams

Black Hole Sun

We're afraid of everyone
Afraid of the sun
Isolation
The sun will never disappear
But the world may not have many years
Isolation

Yup, the title is from the Soundgarden song...
But the quote is from John Lennon's Isolation.

Stereophonics once more...

Yes, I've been having an Stereophonics sketch rush...

Guitar Study?

No, this ain't a guitar study, and I have to say guitars are extremely hard to draw!!

But I do think this one turned out better than my first one.
And yes, it is again Mr. Kelly Jones from Stereophonics, they post lots of pics at their Twitter twitpic so its fun for me to try to draw them.
