#18: "Metal Shakespeare"

So.  Here is what has been happening in the lala-land of right brained artistic and musical egocentrism.

A)  I need to post more on here (I took a hiatus over Christmas and during all the performances in the Fall.)
B) I joined a local metal band called "12 Steps Away".  Here is a link to our Facebook page:  http://www.facebook.com/?ref=logo#!/pages/12-Steps-Away-Band/133116526744534

As far as reviews go, I've been listening to this band from Pittsburgh called "Beware Fashionable Women."  They are totally awesome.  They sound like a modern avant-garde mixture of the The Beach Boys, The Beatles, The Shins, and The Pixies (oddly enough, all of those bands had "The" in their titles.)  I am planning on writing a review on them in the future for this blog and for The Crimson (http://crimson.fit.edu/).  You can check them out on YouTube; here is one of my fav's:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-vbTEk_o98&playnext=1&list=PL27772CBAF9188987&index=7

As far as art goes, I have couple drawings that I've been working on.  I hope to post my "Dragon Ballerina" soon, but for now I will leave you with "Punk/Metal Shakespeare."  This version is watermarked, so if you want an original, lemme know (it's hard to see, but it's there).  I created him for a poster for the College Players (cp.fit.edu) auditions for "Much Ado About Nothing".
