Hopefully you liked the band, there called Touche amore and they're amazing if your in to anything like Mewithoutyou or La Dispute, i think i like the bands i do because although every single one of them has wankey sounding songs the lyrics are always stellar and it was one of touche amore's new songs that had a few lines that really made me want to draw something epic so i guess i owe them a thank you.

so lately iv been working on this idea of taking famous but creepy looking historical figure's and turning them in to modern day badly interpreted american gang members, iv only done two so far but i'm freaaakin pleased with how they turned out like really pleased, i'm hoping to do enough to actually have a small portfolio of them. but while i was thinking about other characters to design i was looking at my wall that i put all my drawings up on and i thought as a little added extra at the end of this post i'd add one or two just to kinda show what i liked and how i used to draw to what i do today as there gonna be in a post with my most recent (complete) pieces.
Every one knows that if there was an award for most fucked up creepy looking historical figure it'd be a toss up between these two, Rasputin and Poe must be the ugliest sons of guns in the world but there awesome to draw and i was really pleased with how there two turned out, i think i'm most impressed with my Edgar Allan Poe pun i mean its pure genius. i think i came up with the idea after i'd drawn a vague sketch that resembled Rasputin and put crosses underneath the eyes and suddenly thought haay it looks like gang Tattoos and it looks like Rasputin thats awesome and things just went from there.
And like i promised two pictures i drew when i was in like year 10 i think i'm not to sure but i'm still pretty impressed with what i did kinda sad really i think things have even gone a bit down hill, oh deary me
