IIIII have been going to school, school, school. AND, have been posting to a different deviantart account than this one. ~skin-and-teeth I've been building a website really slowly. The last two days I've had two panic attacks and I'm trying to rest now and not do anything. I've been playing music with friends. I've been finding things like windows and bicycle frames in the trash behind my apartment. I've been wondering where my art is going, and how I am going to address some rather pertinent and poignant issues that I am dealing with right now. I have been thinking architecture. I have been thinking history. I have had a solo show in September. I have made around fifteen hundred dollars in profit from selling art the past few months. I have been negotiating with an Italian publishing company who wants to use an old collage of mine in a book of theirs. I have been downloading a lot of music, which I hadn't done in probably five or six years. I have had my heart broken twice in the past year by two different people. I am trying to learn how to be able to live my life by myself, to not need other people for emotional support. I have been trying to grow. I have been trying to figure out how I feel about learning art history and keeping up with contemporary artists. I have read a few books, and spent too much time on the computer. I have stolen a studio at school and then turned around and gotten one legitimately. I have met kind people and people that do not interest me. I have been very general. I have been very specific. I have been more social. I have been very confident. I have been very self conscious and insecure. I have lived, but not died. Not yet.

I'm surprised you didn't use this as your blog. But I quite admire you dramatic changes and new things occurring in your life. I wish you the best ~

I don't know. New has got to be new for me sometimes. Out with the old! That kind of thing. Thank you, and the sentiments are returned.

If you like ambient electronica, you may like September Collective or The Field.

Shit, I made collages today and ended up kind of emulating your style. Weird, scary. Stop being such an influence.

i love your artwork Mr. Hamrick.
Have you heard of "Hella" (a band)? They remind me of something you might listen to or like to play on your drums. Good stuff!

Coughing In reply to ataraxia56 [2007-06-11 15:06:13 +0000 UTC]
Thank you Mr. Ruiz. I have heard of Hella. Good, but inconsistant. Some bad ass songs, and then some just plain bad songs. Lightning Bolt are a far better alternative, you should check out the album "Wonderful Rainbow".

Yeah i was thinking the same thing, Hella is a great band, but then again quite nosy and impatient. Lightning Bolt eh? I'll check them out.
Keep up the good art work!
