It’s been a slow art week for me, so you get to see a throwback mixed-media piece I did for one of my all time favorite bands, Sullivan. Their sophomore released was called Cover Your Eyes and featured some pretty intense images collaged on their cover art. It really stood out to me and along with the song “Fire Away” which had lyrics featuring the title spoke to me even more. Back in middle school I randomly stumbled upon this band, and they’ve remained one of my favorites ever since. Lead singer, Brooks Pascal has one of the most unique voices I have ever heard, and the band had some of the most intricate and big sounding songs I’ve ever listened to. I highly recommend checking out all of their work, but in the meantime, enjoy this old artwork!

New Year, New Movies (Sort Of)
Yes, it is now the year 2021, and with it lots of new movies are on the horizon, and while I could have watched some new ones, I really only watched older ones.
Read moreCobra Kai Season 3
Fair warning here, there will be spoilers for the latest season of Cobra Kai that was just released on January 1st. I couldn’t watch this fast enough, and just like with the first season, I binged this over the course of two days. That’s a big deal! My viewing habits don’t usually involve binging the same show for more than two episodes, so that means Cobra Kai is the real deal!
Read moreA Teacher Miniseries Review
FX on Hulu’s A Teacher, is a drama adapted from a movie of the same name, but starring a few more recognizable names and the ability to flesh the story out a bit more. I think this would have to be every filmmakers dream. Getting to tell a story that you’re passionate about in two different channels has to feel good. There were also enough years separating the two that creator, Hannah Fidell, could take the time to figure out parts she wanted to explore more deeply, or add more fine details to certain scenes.
Read moreBook Review: Panic by Lauren Oliver
I was so taken by Lauren Oliver’s book, The Vanishing Girls, that I decided to give her debut novel, Panic, a go! I’ll be interested to see what her other novels are like, because I could definitely tell this was a first go at publishing a novel. Especially compared to the almost perfection that was The Vanishing Girls. This book wasn’t the best thing I ever read, but I enjoyed how Oliver wrote the relationships between all of the characters.
Read moreFan Art Friday: Matthew Gray Gubler
It’s been a hot minute since I’ve watched Criminal Minds, but Matthew Gray Gubler was always my favorite member of the BAU, and he’s just a really cool guy outside of the show. He’s also been in some fantastic indie films, and used to be a model, so it seems sort of obvious that he would be my final drawing of 2020. Enjoy!
Read moreThe Rest of the Best 2020
