Fear

Yesterday I put up two of the best mixes of my career. I'm not just saying that because I think that I am awesome. I say that because for the first time in months, people came up to me and said so. Usually, they go up to Louis and tell him that everything sounded good, and I hear it second-hand. Then in CR I had even more people comment the mix. Here's the thing though. I was exhausted. not just tired, Exhausted. This got me thinking. It took me a while, but i figured it out. In my exhaustion, i was too tired to care. I had lost the fear of failure. yesterday should have sounded like crap. It didn't, because i wasn't afraid to suck. When we lose that fear, we achieve amazing results. But by losing that fear, we leave ourselves open to pride. I don't have it figured out, but if i don't get it down I'm gonna lose it.

More good stuff here Kids

Ok, so you know those big pencils and big crayons and big magic markers you used in Kindergarten and First grade, and maybe second if you felt like it? well, i never could use those, i had to use normal everything,because I am in fact awesome. Or it could be because of this








Glad i could help.

Faces in Places

So, i have this habit of seeing faces in inanimate objects. It's kind of debilitating. So, to cope i find things that i see to have a face and i put "finishing touches" on them. So i set out with some scrap paper and a sharpie, and I put a face on a copier


A Jacob Sanders-worthy pun

Then there was the video Camera

"Hey Doc, does this look bad to you?"
then the Doctor says "HOLY SHNIKES what is a cyclops doing in my office?"

and then I said to myself "Wait a tic, (because when i do faux-art stuff like this i speak Brit) I have Photoshop." so i started photoshoping them. Here they are, in their glory.


This one I was all 'cheer up emo kid'



Look at this guy. He has no idea where he is or how he got there, but he is all sorts of excited about doling out coffee



Not a face, so much as something i have wanted to so since i came on staff


This is the face of an inanimate object that loves his job.


This guy's all "Wait, is something on my face? Get it off! GET IT OFF!"

I think I'm happier with the paper ones, but that was work.
