Kina Grannis, melting my heart

Kina Grannis is an artist that I've listened to for years and when I listen to her, my heart always swells and just fills me with overwhelming feelings sometimes happy, sad or both.  Her music always makes me happy and I sing along with her songs to help me get through times when I'm down or lonely and also when I'm happy.  In fact, I was singing her "Message from your heart" song yesterday while riding home alone on my motorcycle. 

If you still don't know who she is, or if you want to get your heart melted, you can watch her for yourself on her youtube ->  https://www.youtube.com/user/kinagrannis

Also, with the new month of April, I'm oping to get some new things to share with you guys including, but not limited to a "WIP" day and some motorcycle rides (as I'm definitely planning to have more of those with the sun now showing up more often).  Until the next post, keep busy staying dizzy!

Devon Aoki in Pastel

Devon Aoki in pastel!  It's later than my previous uploads (it's already midweek).

I had a lot of fun working on this piece.  I worked on a portrait of Devon Aoki when I was still in school.  I think I should maybe post up the older one at some time.

I was always amazed to see her in movies and she was probably a big reason I would watch Sin City and Dead or Alive.

Enjoy everyone!

Brandon Boyd in Pastel

To celebrate and pay tribute to one of my favorite musical and visual artists, I tried making a portrait in soft pastel of Brandon Boyd.  I enjoy seeing his art work and listening to his music.  I still remember when I got to watch him perform at the Fillmore as part of Sons of the Sea on his birthday.  It was electrifying.

But I don't need to tell you guys how awesome he is.  You should check him out for yourselves!  

Until the next time, keep busy staying dizzy!
