I'm not into the genre of music at all, but these guys are amazing and I love their tunes. Gene Simmons even got in touch with them, and he loves their stuff! They're very talented and add a really unique style to pop/punk rock.

Vow of Thorns is coming along very nicely. Each practice Dustin and I get more written, and every day more music comes together. We haven't worked on much due to Christmas and New Years, but we're doing a lot individually.

I have a couple shoots planned for the future, plus a few minor ones thrown in between. I'm really excited about the two ideas I have, regardless of how long they're taking to pull together. I'm thinking of selling prints locally, though some people have asked for me to ship prints to them, so I may do that as well if demand is high enough.

That seems to be all for now. More to come in the future.

Starting school once again, likely my last year, but who knows. Harlequin Visions is taking a big break 'till my music becomes a bit more known - but this is where Vow of Thorns starts. It began as an idea for a solo down-tempo/doom project, but now the name has been adapted into an entire band. My friend Dustin and myself have been working on a bunch of material which I am enjoying a lot, and we hope to get tracks out as soon as possible.

I hope to get out with my camera more this year - I've been doing some texturing and I'll likely get some natural textures when working on 3D, just for some originality. I might get a few shots of Heaven Ablaze for their site, too. I'll wait 'till fall and winter to start going out.

Expect more, in time.

I honestly don't know what to say about this album, though my words will never be able to explain the greatness of it.

Buy it when it's released!

I spent a few days working on an assignment for my vector graphics class. I had to make a gradient mesh of someone - I chose my very good friend Jessica (featured in the Trains shoot). The face turned out really well but I slacked on the hair and clothes due to time restriction. I'll be uploading that soon.

The new Opeth album 'Watershed' is sounding like it's going to be fantastic. As usual, I can't wait. I'm tempted to get this one leaked - it's been too long!

I have a few photos of Beneath the Massacre I need to upload - I should get on that.

I'm going to miss my friends here, even though I've spent a lot of time with them. It's never enough. I had a fun New Years, and from what I can remember... an amazing day after New Years.

I'll upload any pictures I took during the break when I get back. Final Thought is doing a show tonight, so I'll be taking some concert and promo shots for them.

Ayreon's '01011001' is good, but not nearly as good as 'The Human Equation'. It's worth checking out.

Some new photos up - A few from the Macabre show of Heaven Ablaze and Deathmarch, and two panorama images I am very proud of. Check them out, let me know what you think.

My next assignment, the Graffiti, is going wonderfully. I've already designed my entire wall art and finished the graffiti text. I've got some other projects, but they're nothing for me to worry about.

Tuesday was the Fanshawe club fair thing. It didn't go so well for any of the clubs, especially us. Nobody knew what we were doing - playing guitar, listening to music, bothering other tables around us. All of the above, really. Next time will be better. As much as I wouldn't want to do it, Ahmed should have left it in my hands.. haha, I've had experience in things like that. Oh, the times I have spent with YNOT...

I've uploaded two of my logos, and I'll be uploading some schoolwork (like the cursed vector portrait) soon.

After a rather unpleasant last night I was feeling very down, so I recored a piece of a Harlequin Visions song. It's one of the more depressing parts of the most sorrowful song on the album. --> [link]

Grafitti assignment soon!

Ugh I've not been doing well or having a good time at all lately.

I've lost count of the hours spent on this Illustrator assignment. It's really draining me. Ack... I've resorted to Mr. Noodles and energy drinks to keep me going, along with some Emperor which I have not listened to in awhile.

Fantastic, Sean just reminded me that I have more stuff due this week. Nothing compares to tracing vectors!! I could use a break. I am on hour 5 for today. I'm really looking forward to doing my next assignment though (it's pretty stupid how the two projects now overlap in time... it's really stressful). I get to put some graffitti on a wall using Illustrator and Photoshop, everything done digitally. It should be fun! ...once I get this portrait done.

Just one big project.
It's killing me.

I got some great shots for the Trains shoot, I think. We didn't stay for that long, though.

I wrote a new song, though. I like it.

While I was out today I found a spot for my 'Trains' shoot. I got a test shot, and I think it turned out well. I think I'll be doing the shoot on Tuesday - we'll see.

The week has started off rough already... my CD design assignment was going great - I had the entire booklet complete and ready for printing. My friend Sean and I begin printing, and found that some of the ink on the glossy paper wasn't drying. Double siding the paper was a fiend, but I found the right dimensions. Six hours later, ink is still not dry. I began freaking out, only having limited glossy paper. I finally decide just to glue the sheets together to form a somewhat-proper booklet, and on the last page the printer ran out of ink. I printed over it a second time, worked pretty well. After being on the edge of snapping, I finally finish my CD, but... the booklet was too thick to fit in the case! I had to scrap two of my pages just to get it in!! It's done, could be better but it looks really cool when it's closed up.

Loads of work for this week - I have to do a 2 minute pitch for this Thursday, a demo website for Wednesday, several pages of documents for next Monday...I'm not entirely sure what I have to do for this still, and the worst of all... 50 photos for next Monday. Each photo has specific guidelines. It's doable, but it's my heaviest week so far.

Gah.

GAH.

Went to a fun party last night with a bunch of metalheads. A few of us dressed up in corpse paint. Good times.

There's a few Zombie Walk 2007 photos I've been meaning to upload, but I've yet to get around to it. Busy... I also want to get out and do a few photoshoots - one is Porcupine Tree inspired, the other is for Harlequin Visions. I need to design an entire CD layout for class and I've been allowed to use my project for it, which is convienent because I've been meaning to design some artwork for it. The first step of the logo is complete, and I need to print it and trace each letter whilst doing any minor modifications to it. I'll then scan, and redraw the traces in Photoshop, and then piece them back together. Sadly, I only have the weekend to do this, along with taking eight or ten photos for the booklet artwork. Should be fun, to say the least.
