Mushroom

My 2nd attempt at acrylic painting. I didn't do any rough sketches before doing this or outline it at all, so I think it came out alright. I kind of want to add more to it, but don't want to mess it up.
We'll see.


Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

I saw it 2 days ago. And I'm honestly not disappointed. For a 20-years-later sequel, it really wasn't bad. The return of Marion was great. I even approve of Shia LaBeuf continuing the Indy legacy. I mean, say what you want, but I really thought the whole thing was good. Probably the only thing I really missed was Marcus Brody. But there were still plenty of nods his way. I would like to thank Lucas and Spielberg for not making me hate them.
Bravo.

...In The Age Of Wonder...

I just got a Dark Crystal poster in the mail.
And it's awesome.

BJM

Recently, I was introduced to a band by the name of The Brian Jonestown Massacre. 60s psychedelic reincarnated. It's pretty incredible how much music this band has come out with over the past decade and a half. Mostly written by the somewhat eccentric lead vocalist/guitarist Anton Newcombe (who claims to be able to play 80 instruments). I also watched DiG!, which is a documentary on the BJM and friends The Dandy Warhols (which also happens to me a very good band). The almost prophet-like impression of Anton is pretty incredible. Although, he doesn't seem easy to get along with, he's created some amazing music with his band mates.

I suggest you listen.
