Big Juicy Tears of Blood & Pain

I wanted to take a minute to introduce everyone to my newest Oddball Art character Moe from my fairly new series 'Big Juicy Tears of Blood & Pain.' I know it is a little late coming as the case with alot of my blog posts lately but unfortunately the reasoning behind it is out of my control, so just know that I am doing the best I can to try and keep up and catch up at this point.

Moe got his name from the overall concept of the series which is 'EMO.' He is a cute little guy who has a very sad but cute look to him. He is always crying, tears of blood that is but like I said he is cute, in an 'Oddball' sort of way.

This series is strictly an ACEO series for now but that doesn't mean that you will never see Moe on a full size painting, there just isn't anything in the works yet for that but it hasn't been completely ruled out either. So far there is 4 ACEO's in this series, they all depict Moe in some sad situations but he is always pushing on. Well, without further ado, I will stop talking and just show you what we are all here to see...... 'Big Juicy Tears of Blood & Pain'........

Stay tuned for more adventures with Moe and his 'Big Juicy Tears of Blood & Pain'.....

10 Ways To Release The Creativity From Within...

Visit Art Galleries or Exhibitions as often as possible.
Try thinking about daily things in rhymes, it will help broaden your vocabulary which is especially usefull for creative writing.
Change your routine, i.e. drive a different route to work, go some where else for lunch.
Open your eyes and actually look at everything around you, you'll be surprised what you see.
Every once in a while try to do something that you enjoyed doing as a child, try to release the child from within, children are after all the most creative beings out there.
Clear your mind at least once a day, if you don't have a clear mind you won't have room for creativity.
Make sure you ask yourself an out of the ordinary question each and every day. i.e. What if the grass grew purple?
Try picturing your life as it if it were a movie or novel, what would happen next? Who would you meet?
Talk to someone or some people that you normally would ignore, they might have something interesting to say.
Carry a pocket sketch book with you always and note interesting things.

If a pig drinks a quart of buttermilk before he starts, And runs a mile before he farts, And the faster he goes, the farther he gets, How far will he go before he shits? Now in order for me to win this bet, I must take you to where the fart was let, A farmer saw the pig pass with buttermilk shooting from his ass. And the farmer knew this to be true 'cause the pig shit buttermilk as he flew. Now if that pig can hold his gas, And run a mile with a puckered ass, it seems to me if he keeps his wits, he can run five miles before he shits. ~ Marve Matlack (RIP)
