Liars

Anger has never really been something that I've been good at expressing or feeling. I usually try and shrug it off. But this time I was just sick of listening to so many people lie to me. And the amount of people recently has been kind of ridiculous. Guess I just thought people were more honest about stuff. We all are what we want people to see I've realized. I'm just the idiot who believes them. People always tell me I have this problem with making excuses for people and not being able to confront people because I worry about how the other person is going to take it. I guess my sketchbook is the place I have to confront people, even if they never see it. I made this sketch in Jhonen Vasquez's style, and it is pretty dark in the same way as his art.

Waste

So I haven't posted a lyrical sketch in a while. This has been one of my favorite songs recently, "Waste" by Foster the People. Basically, it's just about being there for someone you love. My interpretation of the song has been that he's taking care of someone who's going through a mental breakdown, or has mental issues. This song is pretty much solidified my obsession with Foster the People. The sketch somehow ended up with a red and blue theme, and with some of the empty white, it kinda has patriotic colors. I didn't mean to do that, but I don't think it's the first thing that comes to mind when you look at it.

Voices of My Cranium

Alright, so this is a collage-ish piece. People always wonder what's going on in my head when I go silent or when I suddenly start talking to myself (and yes, I do this often), so here it is. More dark than the way I act. Mostly it contains what most art contains: A lot of self-hatred. haha Hope this isn't to emo for you readers out there. Did this one about a week ago at night.

Hope Never Dies

Hello all, sorry that I have left you hanging! I've been making so many trips with friends and hanging out that I guess this took a backseat to everything else. So this sketch I drew about two weeks ago I think. It was after I watched an episode of Skins. I wanted to capture that feeling one gets when you're alone, and you feel like maybe you're never gonna find happiness because you don't know where you're going in life. But I also wanted to have some type of graffiti that said "Hope never dies" because I believe that as long as you believe in that, you'll find the right path.
