Xyris at the Wormhole

Finally got a video of our show, so everyone what we really sound like.

New ink - brush

The whole time i did these i was looking for an iconic image for my band and eventually used this one for a our bumper stickers. Oddly patriotic colors for such dark subject matter. I also wanted to mention I've recently discovered TWLOHA (To Write Love on Her Arms) a non profit group that helps raise money for people who cant afford to pay for rehab etc. I'll be wearing one of their shirts at the show on Tuesday. If you don't know what TWLOHA is you can visit their website here.






this turned out to be more of a study of the egon schiele painting "the embrace"

i put this one on DA because it was probably the best, but I was afraid of people stealing it too for shirts etc so I put the watermwark on it so hopefully that helps.
Also ill be going into to finish my "wall illustrations" for Carter Ink tomorrow and I'll make sure to get some pics up.

Xyris is a Go!

I'm a drummer again! And more seriously than ever, I've messed around with Justin and Nash, recorded and edited jams and even created a cd with Dan and Justin in "Comfort and Chaos," played a few bits and recorded like two songs with Tyler in "Instrumetal," talked and met and had to eventually leave before we started a dream theater inspired band in Co, played a practice that I was not asked back in "Die like able" in Ga, and now am officially the new drummer for Xyris, with Carlos and a guy I met from work named Phil. They are right up my musical alley, and headed toward the stuff I want to be doing, heavyier prog-based music. We played a few of their songs and I caught on fast and even jammed a few with suprizing sincapation. We should be playing shows after a few more practices, I need to get a carpet so that I can map out my drums for shows. Were practicing in a place called "5 below" where you can buy 3 hours with their amps and drum kit, studio etc for 30 bucks. No big transport needed, no need to annoy neighbors etc. I'm scared for my drum set, it's a piece of crap and I don't know how it will sound live, or if I practice on another kit and play on mine if it will feel wierd. Anyway for not drumming for close to 6 months, except for a few times, I was very in shape and rather pleased with myself. I can't wait to play a show with thee guys! Hear them at their website or their myspace here
