Another collaboration, as Dec works his magic, and lyrics are added

Tampering with elements as if they were gods
self appointed fools of light and truth
their blindness to the damage done.
destined to be the destruction of themselves

Offspring birthed to a tainted world
Wracked in war and violence
The pure ignorant to the reason
why everything must be subjugated

Accepting their elders words as truth
carrying the torch of decay and conformity
never deviating from the path set for them
given a world tormented by its history.

The future holds no hope
the fallen have solidified its death
by infecting its youth
with the stains of years past

Nurturing the vitriolic unrest
repeating the mistakes
ensuring the collapse of all they know

Creating this tune was quite fun i have been away for a bit, but it was nice to sit down and create some new sounds. This time around I wanted to play with some automation and create the tune on the fly so to speak… i really enjoy how it turned out and will be developing it further…

Attempting to design my left sleeve by subject, this will go through many evolutions but here is the start.

The current progression of my my sleeve done by Artist Eric Booth who has done an amazing job taking my photographs and other wishes and creating exactly what i wanted, i can’t wait till it is finished in late september.

Update:

Full Set:

It is a beautiful hint that falls is on its way the humidity is having trouble keeping up with this cool breeze, and as i walked around the garden this morning i found one of my favorite winged insects as well as watching the grape leaves turn…. its nice to feel change in the weather.

Gave a go at some feathered friends

Wanted to try some more under water creatures to prep for the other arm later on i really like this subject matter, maybe these beautiful creatures will be around longer than us…

Time myself to see how long it would take to draw an eye with a tear, 15 minute sketch and shading….

Was tooling around with Photoshop and the stroke features, and labored to produce….
