a fun filled weekend

Lately my weekends have been extremely busy, in a good way. but i am lacking some sleep =/ uh well, haha, its summer and im having fun. This past Friday i got to see Happy Body Slow Brain again! It was there last west coast tour until they release their new album. Omg, the only word i can describe about their set was.. hypnotic. I swear these guys are one of the best bands around and they should be bigger than they really are. Not only are their songs really good BUT they are amazing live! There was one song they did at the show where after they were done everyone turned to each other with an amazed/shocking look on their face and people saying "that was awesome" "omg" "are you kidding me?" haha. If you havent heard of them, please look them up and listen to their music :)

For my friends birthday on Saturday a bunch of us went to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom. So, i dont really ride rollercoasters =/ but thank God they had Discovery Kingdom there so at least i got to do something instead of waiting around while my friends went on the rides. haha. i love animals! Besides being an illustrator i have always wanted to be a Wild Life Biologist (and a Firefighter, haha)! So, i get really excited when theres an opportunity to see animals! After seeing the Dolphins, now i want to be a trainer. haha. But i probably wont! =P i would LOVE to swim with them though.. someday :)

heres last nights sketch of Spiderman :) its weird how much i am afraid of spiders yet Spiderman is one of my favorite super heros! haha

Hope you all had a lovely weekend!

currently listening to

When i listen to a certain genre, band, album, singer, etc. I get obsessive and wont listen to anything else for MONTHS. Below are my five top listens, pretty much what i have been listening to NON-STOP.

1. Seth Macfarlane: i am a huge fan of Seth and when i heard his album "Music is Better Than Words" i simple fell in love with him more than ever. I have not stopped listening to it and i recommend it. He is probably my favorite singer in this whole entire world. haha.

2. Frank Sinatra: i mean who doesnt love him. Frank has always been one of my absolute favorites and ever since i started listening to Seth Macfarlane i wanted to broaden my Big Band obsession, what better way than to listen to Frank.

3. Benny Goodman: well, not sure if you can tell.. but Im pretty obsessed with Big Band music and theres no other way to get in touch with the genre than to listen to the king of Big Band.

4. Randy Newman: huge fan of movie scores, especially Disney & Pixar ones. One of my favorite composers is Randy Newman and i felt that since Monsters University's coming out soon, listening to Randy has made me more excited! Not to mention, inspired!

5. Happy Body Slow Brain: ok, so HBSB may not be in the Big Band range, but ever since i saw them live in January i pretty much have been listening to them non-stop. Pretty insane, but trust me when i say.. YOU GOTTA LISTEN TO THEM.

What have you all been listening to? Any Big Band recommendations? or any bands/music in general?

Happy Body Slow Brain + Gavin Castleton

So a friend of mine is in a band called Happy Body Slow Brain (HBSB), i have listened to a bunch of their songs and have been wanting to go to their show so bad.
Thank God they played in San Francisco this month!
They played at Bottom of The Hill on January 4th, with the very talented Gavin Castleton.
Here are some photos from the show! I got to say, it was one of the best ive ever been to.
Such great music from both HBSB & Gavin Castleton. If you have not heard of them, please take a listen! :)

Sorry for low quality photos, it was pretty dark in there. haha.
