PS - I'm listening to my John Lennon mix right now. Let me tell you, that guy was the fucking shit. If your one of those kids who think all the Beatles did was write a bunch of silly love songs, you've been listening to too much radio - and don't even get me started on that Beatles 1 cd. If absent from your collection, immediatley download the following. Immediatley. Report promptly after experiencing the awesome wrap around you like a mean shot of heroin for further instruction.

Although, without a computer handy, I am in fact drawing with ink again, going crazy with details. I'm also experimenting in different styles, having oodles of fun. I also have a massive collection of life drawings taken from French post cards too large to scan. I think I very well might have found my calling in pin-up art.

Adult Swim is on now, I'm going to go draw. Peace. ]]> ~5cott-13ird http://5cott-13ird.deviantart.com/journal/5970176/ http://5cott-13ird.deviantart.com/journal/5970176/ Mon, 18 Jul 2005 16:41:27 PDT ~5cott-13ird http://5cott-13ird.deviantart.com/journal/5720532/ http://5cott-13ird.deviantart.com/journal/5720532/ Wed, 22 Jun 2005 05:16:05 PDT
I believe the game industry is Mars, for there are no women here. There is not a single female in my class, and only two in the whole program. The other fields taught in my building are computer tech and animation. Graphic design is taught on the other end of the campus and features a small pocket of women, but they are either uninteresting or unavailable. This has left me feeling a bit lonely to say the least. I've always dated women that I know, from school, work etc. I've never been good at dating strangers; random women from the super-market or the mall. Now I have to relearn my whole approach to meeting women; I feel like I'm in high school.

This has all left me a bumbling mess, I constantly feel like there's something missing in my life. I've always had a secure relationship and a clear picture of what I want to do with my life. My head was filled with fantastic visions and heart was warmed by loving embraces. Now, suddenly the future is a blank slate, reality seems cold and disappointing, and I find very few reasons to get out of bed in the morning. It isn't the blank canvas of possibilities, the invitation to adventure that it should be. Whenever I open my mouth to classmates it's either something cutting and rude, or just inane because I'm so disorientated all the time, and I feel the song “Creep” playing in my head everywhere I go. While "Am I Just a Drawing" was sarcastic, I feel like its becoming reality. Hm, "reality", how I ironic.

I suppose I should just clamp down, and actually follow through with something (my school). Maybe the things I wanted to do with art I can find in video games. Maybe after making some achievements in the gaming field I could find the money and time for my other passions. Maybe I could find a way to meet women. Maybe this is just a lull in my life I have to endure to get the things I want. However, this is easier said than done, and my spirit and energy to endure is waning.

I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo.
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here,
I don't belong here. ]]> ~5cott-13ird http://5cott-13ird.deviantart.com/journal/4833785/ http://5cott-13ird.deviantart.com/journal/4833785/ Thu, 17 Mar 2005 02:52:22 PST



My life ( Monkey's With Chainsaws )

Drawing, animation, Children’s Literature/Art, art in general is the biggest interest in my life, it's how I define myself. I'm an artist. Now, I draw fairly juvenile, simple things, but still it's an identity. It's something I'm good at, something I do, something I live for. I don't like explaining my work much, (except for random, regrettable occasions, like now), but basicly, I sort of look at the world as though I were somewhere between a 7 year old boy, and a space alien, looking at "weird creatures who lock up their spirits, drill holes in themselves, and watch for cracks in the pavement". Then there's another part of me that just likes pure fantasy, guys punching through walls, monsters, and beautiful women. I don't want to talk up the art to much, so just go look at it, I'll want it to speak for itself.

My philosophy ( in all it's naive glory . . . )

I'm also Catholic, and that's a big part of how I identify myself, but, as the late Johnny Cash said, "I'm not a Christian Artist, I'm an artist whose a Christian". So I usually talk about art first. I guess Dubya's also been a bit of a Christian pride killer too. I guess that part of my life hasn't really showed up in my drawing, as of yet, but it does in my stories, that is, if I ever write them. And when they do, it's in a symbolic, twisted way, like CS Lewis and Tolkien did. Yup, Lord of The Rings is a Christian story. Face it. Anyway, I don't want to state my entire theory on the universe, or at least I'll try not to. First of all, where there is creation, there is creator. Even if we break existence down to the tiniest, loneliest atom, it still had to come form somewhere - the unmoved mover, something beyond it's existence, beyond dimension, time and space (this is cribbed from the Summa Theologica, although I'm no expert). So who made God? I don't know, and I don't care. It won't do me any good and I won't understand anyway.


So I explained how some high some higher being exists, now why does he give a shit about us? What separates us from the animals is that we create art. Therefore, we are specially gifted, gifted by something higher than our comprehension, our dimension. Also, creation is what makes God, the original artist, special, so he's not just giving us something pretty, he's giving us a piece of what defines his own very existence. He's giving us the Colonel's secret recipe, the green lantern ring, the source of his power!

As for my religion, Christianity, and why I believe in it, has a bit more philosophy in it, and less logic, but it works for me. And yes, I admit, it probably has to do with my heritage, but the message is really universal (after all, that’s what "Catholic" translates to ). I look to God and humanity as a parent/child relationship. As parent looks after a child, they give a child simple advice (the bible, genesis), and if they're bad, they go to their room ( or, hell). Then when they get older, they don't care what you say, so you give it to them straight ( Jesus ), and then, off they are on their own (end of the bible, the final prophet). Now it's up to you to take care of yourself ( the fate of the human race ). Eventually you create your own life, and that is a parents greatest reward ( why we're here). After that, you finally "get it", and go back to ma' and pa', thank them for what they did, and admit they where right all along ( heaven ).

The individual, my path (when man make plans, God laughs, yeah, yeah, I know) . . .

So, what are we to do? Make the world work together in some way, with whatever you can. I'm an artist, so that’s my role. I'm no missionary, I'm no survivalist. Really, I would die without Ego waffles. And city work - ha! I'm the biggest sucker in existence. And I always say th... ]]> ~5cott-13ird http://5cott-13ird.deviantart.com/journal/4021055/ http://5cott-13ird.deviantart.com/journal/4021055/ Wed, 08 Dec 2004 17:12:51 PST
Not much on my mind, but I thought I should at least add *something* to the page. Not much drawing going on in the Scott world right now, due to my drawing time being eaten up by my game design story boards and characters. Then again, I got a ton of stuff from months ago kickin' around.

I'm doin' okay. New people, new faces. Same stupid me. I might meet Jim Mahfood this Friday! There's some art show near by called "Wet Paint" he's always at. It's weird, having an artist I know hang out regularly 5 minutes away form my house.

Well, that was boring. Really, I usually come up with something funny. Later. ]]> ~5cott-13ird http://5cott-13ird.deviantart.com/journal/3511596/ http://5cott-13ird.deviantart.com/journal/3511596/ Mon, 04 Oct 2004 14:38:55 PDT
How's school you ask? School's okay. Lots of Dorks. Now, there is a differance between Geeks, and Dorks. Geeks are characters in Kevin Smith films, and dorks are Michael J. Fox's dad in Back To The Future.

I'm giving in to purchasing a cell phone. I hate the bastards, but it's due to circumstance. I'm looking foward to drawing cartoons of my friends to pop up when they call, though.

I was pretty pissed about not being able to get my hands on the most excuisit beverage of all the soft drinks, Foxon Park Kola, out here, since it's only distributed in the New Haven area of Conneticut. I'm not tottaly at lost for glass bottle contained cola beverages though. There's a high Mexican population here, due to being near the border, so they brought over a little piece of home; Coca Cola in green-glass bottles! They're very tall, thin bottles, and shipped from Mexico with spanish writing on them. This is subleem, sublime! ]]> ~5cott-13ird http://5cott-13ird.deviantart.com/journal/2566915/ http://5cott-13ird.deviantart.com/journal/2566915/ Wed, 02 Jun 2004 14:15:54 PDT By Scott Bird

Spewing from the wretched bowels of snot and semen in a shower drain, came forth Scott Bird, in fullfillment of the scriptures. This bastard love child of Dr. Suess, Ninja Turtles, Dunk-a-roos, and MS Paint, was an unstopable menace of love.

Armed by a pack of wilderbeasts, electricity, and unfortunate victims of friendship, he strode the Earth in search of the American dream. And pretzels. You have been warned.

This band of one handed master-bandits shall rule this planet. . . eventually.



*Yes, after a long delay (it's always a long delay) I have arrived with many new pictures for you, spanning the past year and several sketch books. There will be at least three today, and many more on the way. They will all be collected in a sketchbook diary entitled "A Journey To The Bizaar: A Sketchbook of a 19 Year-old". You have just read the sack of non-sense that will most likely serve as the introduction. * ]]> ~5cott-13ird http://5cott-13ird.deviantart.com/journal/1513554/ http://5cott-13ird.deviantart.com/journal/1513554/ Tue, 09 Dec 2003 19:41:12 PST
well, its official, I'm a college drop out. Well, I could go back, but everyone says that but doesnt. Well, im just not ready, I'm too restless, not sure what i want to do, every second its something else. So, I'm just gonna dork around, try differant stuff myself, maybe take local classes. Y'know, so this way I dont waste thousands of dollars on a degree I wont end up wanting. meanwhile, ill work, save, and mooch off my parents while I live in the standard geek bachelor pad - my parents basement.

I'll be getting a t-shirt maker for x-mas - maybe with my freetime (after work) I can finnaly make my aspirations as a t-shirt, poster, patch maker, come true. Then I'll sell my stuff to teens eager to waste their parents cash at the mall who want to pretend to be hip by buying "underground" stuff. Works for Hot Topic. Hey, that rock band thing could take off....yeah. Oh, there's this comic group I've known for 3 years now, but I never had enough faith in my work to submit anyhting cuz i tought my work sucked. Well, screw that, I'm gonna give em a ring soon.

Well, latter

PS - anybody catch "the herbrew hammer" on comedy central..that was some damn funny shit. I missed the first half, and since i think its so dman good, ill tell y'all it gonna be on at 12/14/2003 800 PM . The DVD will come out soon, y'know, w/out just about every swear, racial and every word inbetween cutout...basicly its a Shaft parody, but its a Jewish dude and he fights Santa Claws....a Jewploitation film.

Maybe this is just another lull, or a response to the nature of the assignments? I still like to do figure drawing, whatever that means. Im thinking director - film, animation and games. I'm intertested everyhting, I'm not good at one thing. And I'm always jumping form one project to the next, so maybe managing a large crew would suit me best. Ive always been told it would.

Well, I have to go into Illustration tomarrow, w/out completing a single assignment yet, and try to talk things out. Sigh. ]]> ~5cott-13ird http://5cott-13ird.deviantart.com/journal/1014738/ http://5cott-13ird.deviantart.com/journal/1014738/ Thu, 31 Jul 2003 15:09:17 PDT
I'm going to try doing larger works, multi-media thingies, you know, real art, I've always said I'd do but never did. I'll post my concept sketches though. I got a great response from a gallery owner in Old Saybrook (who has it in his vintage, turn of the century soda parlour) so i got an encentive to make paintings in hope of getting cash (yeah!) .

I'm also going to try making shirts again isnce I now have a place to sell them, a Goth club on the Mass/CT border (well, thurs its a goth club, the rest of the days of the week its gay bar called "Divas"). People there where really cool, and not what I expected (my mary-ann rose goth chick parody). ]]> ~5cott-13ird http://5cott-13ird.deviantart.com/journal/957137/ http://5cott-13ird.deviantart.com/journal/957137/ Thu, 17 Jul 2003 19:53:50 PDT

The band, tentatively The Mobiles, is actually coming a long. I have a lead guitarist, bassist and possibly a drummer and key-boardist. They're all good at what they do, mainly so I dont fuck it up. I will be in chage of making power chord symphonies and strange noises while Mike will concentrate on making the real music. I have a stack of stupid poems detailing my lifes discoveries and songs about Hulk Hogan kicking your ass. It will be a punk tinged vomit of music from the 40s-70s wrapped in a lo-fi/pop package.

hmm, i re-read yesterdays journel in my mind. theres a lot i left out (like i hvant seen the guys in a year, they live across the state and are probaly going to collage. and, as of now, i have little to no music talent - just an idea. and id have to restructure my whole life aorund this million to one shot).

i have these ideas festering in my head and each day that goes by i feel like they're sufocating and dying cuz i cant get them out. i have an overactive imagination and cant channel it, i feel like its wasting away.

so i decided to finally do something about it. but is it illogical, suicide, or so crazy it might work? is common sense stopping me from flying, or from falling on my face?

I've always had this idea for a band. it'd big mismatch of differant sounds, like the Gorrilaz 1st album (i havnt heard the others yet) - but not the same sounds, and goofy, childish, hopefully imaginative. its a very cool sound in my head, trust me. wed also eventually peform while my own illustrated shortstories played out behind us via slide projector and someday, full anaimaiton. The whole cartoon band idea was mine first, by the way, bastards..... (i still love you anyway jamie hewlett).

So Scott said to himself "dammit, why do i always have these ideas, but nothin ever happens. I know a band who wants a leader, they're great guys. If i ever to do the musci thing, its now or never, i can always go back to art" I'd try it for the summer, then decide by school time wether or not to keep going.

SO then i get all these cool comments, and it seems like im finnally staritng to get a break with my art. Just when i make a decision.....dammit.

Well, anyway thats whats on my mind right now (as rediculous and crazy as this all osunds)., i ll try to post some sketches or do something. peace.

i try to be a bit less disguntle as now, sorry for being such a bitch. I dont care what other shit people make really, im just feeling lonely. well, was. thanks.

my next couple of things will be sketches for this earthbound (my favourite game ever) website, for they are looking for a cartoonist for a weekly strip and i hope to impress. i hope a bunch of dinky sketches arnt a disapointment form my last technicolor fun-mess - more will come after that. in the meanitme i migh post other sketches too, just to hold your interest, i have tons of them ( and some blossom from that cacoon into colorful drawings, like
Balckwolf down there.)

hopefully i'll do something even better in color, when i get the chance, like my Ninja turtle villians. i can do a wicked Baxter Stockman (the fly dude). He's got some paisley print for wings and red disco balls for eyes and mutated arms that put the elephant man to shame. It's gonna be "radical, dude".

Its been awhile since somehtings been up, after an artrade im doing, there probaly wont be anyhting for awhile. Time to work.

I will be sketching lots, and lots more. I need to pratice my trade more.

ive been making friends here, slowly. Poking my head about, seen some interesting styles. Inspiring.

We need to form a group; People-Who-Dont-Draw-Shitty-Anime-Pictures. Not to fight others opinions perse, but to represent ourselves, we need to get our art out there more. A network of illustrators. Theres lots of great artist here who get little exposure, i think, if they where given a chance, people would love there work -or at least a small group will.

Well, I've been working on re-vamping all the old mortal kombat charecters in new styles. my particualr favorite is Baraka modeled after the butcher form Gangs of New York and a Red Baron pilot.

I'm actually trying to draw mopre relaisticly after my long stint of non-sense. A new Liz may be coming soon (my first finshed one in literally years!).

Im also putering aorund with learning sprite art.

as for my title, "damn kids", well...look at the amout of feed-back i get on my drawings. damn kids, and there stupid l33t language and there winamp skins and there no taste. fuck em.

Oh yeah, 5cott freed up some drive space. Then filled it, ofr I have learned the joys of file "sharing".

hey, most of the downloads I made where Syd barrett, Rasputina and Marilyn Manosn stuff thats never been commercialy released. it isn't like anybody was making money of them.

Anyone ehard of the song "Tea Party", it kinda reminds me of the style of that Beck song with clips off of Mr Rogers, but instead of wholsome mr rogers recalling his grampy and soap, it a guy who tlaks about how he's horny and has the "pu-tang blues".

in any event, it was labeled "rasputina - live stairway2heaven cover", and it's strangely addictive. any info would be nice. especially as to the name swap. I mean, if you wanted to spam some downloads for your single, that makes sense. but who downloads live rsputina bootlegs, beside a couple of goth chicks, peopel who like chellos, and me?

why? why!?!!!!!!

Mostly stuff done in my Sophmore year of high school (I'm a freshman in College now), which seems like a lifetime ago. Then i was creating my would be piece masterpiece, Imaigne (I've actually started to like the idea again). I just took the original drawings and redid the compostition in photoshop with slight tweeking for major anatomy fumbles and other artist BS.

Oh, and I notice people said they like my style. Sorry, theres none of that here. Definatly more notable than now is my Sam Kieth influence, whom got me started in illustration. I continue in his spirit though.

I'm still confused by all the stuff aorund here. I'm starting to cleanse my CPU, i'm clogging the hard drive.

I have tons (wheres the ability to slant when you need it?) of stuff to scan, some similar, some totaly differant and some old stuff I'm kinda embarassed of, but will post anyway.
