More Binder Art: Poetry Folder (2006?)

I had this as the binder cover for my poetry album for a while.

"Graphic Cross"

A cross drawing I did on graph paper.

"Burnin' for You"

This one is named after the Blue Öyster Cult song "Burnin' for You"

Former Poetry Binder Cover

When I made this, I was really into Gel Pens.

Custom 1963 Cadillac "Krazy Kustom Kaddy"

This one was inspired by famous pinstriper Von Dutch. The heart was just a random extra.

Freehand 1964 Lincoln Continental

This one was drawn freehand during a break in Choir class.

My former motto: Heartbreak from Hatred

When I was going through my emotional stage, I thought up this motto for my feelings, and it stuck. A classic example of my Gothic style writing fused with art. This particular one was a reflection of the day my ex-girlfriend broke up with me. Hence the slogan, "Another Day, another Heartbreak".

Freestyle Cadillac Escalade

I drew this one mainly freestyle, with the exception of tracing a round object for the tires.

Pen to the Page

I put the pen to a page,
Let my words flow, put my soul on a stage.
They say I act to old for my age,
from romantic love to psychopathic rage,
Gotta get my mind clear, let my ears hear;
Can't keep emotions locked up in a silver cage.

3D Cross

This one was a project for my 3D art class. I love how it turned out.

4given?

Many times in my life I have cried out to God,
Wondering if he can forgive.
I tried to be right, walk the path that He trod,
Asking Him to help me live.
Yet I can't remember the day I was saved,
I've doubted my God many times;
I cannot recall the day He forgave,
And washed with His blood all my crimes.

...the messed up me...

I drew this in 2006 for my art class. It took me 4 days.

Random Drawing: S

I found the original version of this in an old notebook a friend gave me. It's not that great.

Love Ain't an Angel

She told me that she loved me, then she walked away,
that moment lives forever, since that fateful day.
It seems I never let go of the love I felt inside;
It left an ugly scar that I can never hide.

(Chorus)
Well, love ain't an angel,
the pain and hurt inside is like Hell.
you never forget your first love;
and whether you heal, only time will tell.

I swear to always keep you inside my heart,
even though you hurt me and tore me apart.
I'll never stop thinking of you, my first true love;
Your face like an angel God sent from above.

You left me a sign inside that you still care
but when I'm feeling lonely, I wish you were still there.
You give me the inspiration to hold on to hope;
The sound of your name helps my spirit cope.

I'll never let go of you,
'Cause you're still in my heart;
The love that I still feel
Gives me a fresh new start.
