Day 20 "My Way Home is Through You"~ My Chemical Romance

I'll let you in on a secret. I messed up the order I posted this in. This is actually day 18. I don't feel like changing everything so we'll call it day 20 but in the back of the back of your mind you know how it really is.
I like all the lyrics in this song. It is a B side to MCR's third album, The Black Parade. The guy there is Gerard way in his Black Parade uniform. He is like a superhero to me. I had the honor of meeting him at this year's New York Comic Con. He was there because he also writes and does art for comic books. It was unreal. I was never so terrified to meet anybody than I was him. It is because of My Chemical Romance, I am who I am today. You probably think that is crazy because the lyrics I present to you are "My gun fires seven different shades of shit" but it is true.

Here is a picture my friend took of me meeting him:

Day 19 "Oh No!"~ Marina and the Diamonds

I love all the lyrics to this song. Marina and the Diamonds is what every popstar should be like (if you didn't know she is one person, she says that her fans are the diamonds). She has attitude in the best way possible and she isn't fake about anything and her music is fantastic. I saw her live a couple weeks ago and she did not sound one bit different than from the album. She is a great performer, she carries props and even has a few costume changes.

Here is two pictures from when I saw her:

Her is the music video for this song:

Day 18 "National Anthem"~Lana Del Rey


 I like Lana Del Rey's music but I can't listen to it for long periods of time. This kind of reminds me of that paper mache thing I did for the Seven Sins.

Day 17 "Folkin' Around"~ Panic! at the Disco

Sorry about the small hiatus. If I don't post every single day, I still draw a day everyday. One of my days reminded somebody of Sandy Hook so I wanted to take a week before posting. I drew it before the shooting but, out of respect I wanted to wait.

I hate how this day came out. The ink started running. Plus if you haven't noticed already, the sketchbook I draw this in doesn't take watercolors well. When I finish sketchbook I'll be sure to get a better one.

Other than that I love these lyrics. Panic! at this Disco is one of my favorite bands.

Day 16 "Itchin' on a Photograph"~ Grouplove

One of those songs that the chorus is just a burst of energy that makes me want to run outside in the rain and scream at the sky.
What you do not see here on this blog is that sometimes my painting from one day is so messy that it seeps in to other drawing. So the sky in day 15 looks a bit more green now.

Day 15 "I Look to You"~ Miami Horror Ft. Kimbra

I wish I was Kimbra. In my opinion she is the prettiest girl alive. I had the privilege of seeing her the first time she ever came to New York (she opened for Gotye). I love the visuals in the music video so instead of coming up with something in my head I drew part of the music video. Kimbra sings all the vocals in this song by the way.

Here is Kimbra in all her glory:

Day 14 "Shut Me Up"~ Mindless Self Indulgence

This song reminds me of middle school. When I was reading Johnny the Homicidal Maniac the author/artist directed the music video for this song so then I listened to Mindless Self Indulgence more. 
And yes, I am making fun of Starbucks. It is pricey as hell and it is all hipsters blog about.
