Band of the Month: Queens of the Stone Age

Haha suuuuuper late with this post but hey, better late than never. Latest band I've been into would be Queens of the Stone Age. Seriously, these dudes kick all sorts of ass. It's fronted by Josh Homme and tends to roatate through members of the back up band, much like another fave band of mine Nine Inch Nails. Anyhoo, their music has been often labled as "stoner rock" although I do despise that title. You don't need to be stoned to enjoy how awesome their albums are. For once I have to agree with the majority of fans, which rarely happens, and say that "Songs For The Deaf" is by far my favorite album of theirs. That's got some well known songs such as "No One Knows" and "Go With The Flow". I just love their overal sound and I've been craving some good 'ol fashion rock 'n roll. Their past two albums have been pretty good as well although not as good as "Songs For The Deaf". Check out their other albums and other artists affiliated with them here: http://www.qotsa.com/ . New stuff will be going up soon after the New Year.

Merry Christmas Everyone!!!

Happy holidays to everyone:) I bring you a random image from one of my favorite movies of all time, The Nightmare Before Christmas from the amazing Tim Burton. Have a safe holiday!

Updates galore!

Hello!
So now that the semester is over, I now finally have time to update on here and on the Flickr account. Lots of stuff on here. Some sketchbooks, other pieces in my Natural History Class, and experimentation on Photoshop. Oh and I will be adding a banner VERY SOON, I promise. It's just managing to find an image I want. Most of the stuff I have been doing is mixed media and photoshop. I'm also looking to do a book based on my eccentric family because:
1. I think it will be somewhat therapeautic for me seeing as I tend to bottle my frustrations in. Not to mention my work tends to be autobiographical in a sense.
2. I did this awesome project Freshmen year at AIB about childhood memories which involved my dysfunctional family. Susan LeVan, my professor, loved it and has been begging me to do something like that since.
Basically, over break I will be doing sketches for it and then for Senior Studio Part 2, the series will begin.
Very exciting things happening. I've finally got a direction, I'm gonna be graduating, and I will finally start submitting things. Overall, things are looking up!

Flickr!!!

Hello everyone!
I started a Flickr account. I'm still trying to figure out the whole flickr badge business for the blog but here is the link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ashleynicolehenry/ Bare in mind though I have just started this so it's very much under construction. It comprises of some new sketchbook images and stuff I have already posted on the blog here. Enjoy:)
