2010: Something Every Day (006)

Played drums a bit today. My right wrist is bothering me, and my right ear. I'm trying not to let it worry me too much...Knowing me, a lot of it is mental. Organized some books in the basement, found a lot of goodies I'd forgotten about. I also managed to finish this painting. The title "Misty Harmon" is the name of a girl I knew in middle school (she was the older sister of one of my first girlfriends), who tried to commission me to paint some flowers for her to go with her kitchen's color scheme. She'd seen some art I'd done, and thought I'd do a good job. I think I was happy/honored, and responded positively to her request, but never did make any flowers for her, and I have no idea why. Probably because I was in sixth grade and was a lazy idiot. So, like, seventeen years later, here's an attempt:

My band Spit For Athena is playing in Chicago with a band called The Code Kids. I was asked by the venue to make a flyer for the show. I was going to start by writing the band names, but I fucked up and made "The Code Kids" too enormous, leaving little room for anything else. I'm an idiot like that. Anyways, I decided to make it a Code Kids poster. I don't know these guys...just made them a poster. Meanwhile, there's tons of stuff piled up around my room that I'm supposed to finish, and here I am making posters for bands I don't know. Awesome, Levi. Awesome. Gonna go work on that flyer for the show now. EDIT: Whoops. Just heard from The Code Kids on MySpace. I was going to link them to this entry, show them the poster...and they'd already sent me a message telling me they've commissioned a professional artist to do a flyer for the show. Ha. Well. Wires get crossed, I guess. At least I found out before I made some lame-ass flyer that they'd have to politely tell me to please get rid of. Ha. Yeah. I'm going to go eat some peanut butter.
