OMG THAT'S DISGUSTING.
that also strangely makes buying that Vestax Record Cutter (see post from the beginning of summer) THAT much cooler.
DEC-CAD-DENCE.


*phew...it's a good thing we live in a province like Alberta where we won't have to worry about an issue like Peak Oil for another 2 Brazillion Years.

Al, the more you draw, the better you will become. simple as that. I guarentee that you are among that percentage that could create and draw a grand arms better than I could. Create for the sake of creating.

And for those of you who love vynl, I have some bad news. The Death of Records is predicted for sometime around 2010. Because of oil shortages the byproducts in the refinment of oil, ie the stuff used to make records, will be in limited supply. There was a study 10 years ago to create an alternative, but nothing was found. Now that records are between 2-4% of album sales there is little money and scientists have little to no interest in finding a sutable alternative. Therefore the record may cease to exist in a few years.

Have a great Canada day long weekend. I know I will in Sylvan lake at the beach and waterslides. ciao

Tay how do you find inspiration to keep on doing art when you know a certain percentage of the internet is better artistcally then you? I'm only asking because I don't feel such a need to do Grand Arms anymore. All the new entries and member's post are so much better then what I can do. I mean I try to say to myself: "No one else will make the rest of the Grand Arms taskforce! You shouldn't care you should do it for fun, the rest will follow!". I don't know, I think my ego is too bruised to take anymore of this. I just feel I can't do it anymore, I wish I could make Grand Arms better but I can't. If there was only a sign to show me why I should keep on making units. Oh well, sorry to bore you guys with such pretentious inane artsy stuff. But if you are reading this then you must be really bored.

fuck, good thing I learned illustrator in the last month. I called the company that's pressing our CDs (fuckin long distance to Toronto!) and he says that although having the inserts done in photoshop is fine, the artwork that goes on the CD itself has to be in ILLUSTRATOR.

TALK ABOUT LUCK!!! Had he said that to me a month prior I would've been all FUCK THAT SHIT. But as of now it's smooth sailing...


Eric, you should come over and see the designs I did instead of band practice today. They're fuckin TIGHT.

OH HEY GUYS, I'M OUT OF THE CELL PHONE GHETTO, I OFFICIALLY HAVE CALLER ID, SO IF I'M NOT RETURNING YOUR CALLS NOW IT'S FOR A TOTALLY DIFFERENT/LAME REASON

(i don't feel like linking it, but if you're interested, goto stereogum.com where they have an article about the whole Tom Cruise fiasco starting up as a result of him and Rob Thomas (Matchbox20) being caught in bed together. Matchbox20? ewww)

ERIC: Clark called and he can't make it to practice, and Jere's out of town... so I guess practice is cancelled? You can still come over anyway if you want to though.
