Flightless Bird by Spits

Fri, 01 Aug 2008 16:33:27 -0000

Just a bit of art therapy...haven't drawn much in a while :/. "I was a quick wet boy Diving too deep for coins All of your straight blind eyes Wide on my plastic toys And when the cops closed the fair I cut my long baby hair Stole me a dog-eared map And called for you everywhere Have I found you? Flightless bird, jealous, weeping Or lost you? American mouth Big bill looming Now I’m a fat house cat Cursing my sore blunt tongue Watching the warm poison rats Curl through the wide/white fence cracks Kissing on magazine photos Those fishing lures thrown in the cold and clean Blood of Christ mountain stream Have I found you? Flightless bird, brown hair bleeding Or lost you? American mouth Big bill, stuck going down" -- Iron & Wine Paper texture: http://hibbary.deviantart.com/art/paper-textures-75974801

Black Eyed Dog by Spits

Mon, 21 Apr 2008 16:37:01 -0000

A black eyed dog he called at my door The black eyed dog he called for more A black eyed dog he knew my name A black eyed dog he knew my name A black eyed dog A black eyed dog. I'm growing old and I wanna go home I'm growing old and I don't wanna know I'm growing old and I wanna go home. A black eyed dog he called at my door A black eyed dog he called for more. -- Nick Drake

A Warmer World - Characters by Spits

Sun, 06 Apr 2008 16:42:47 -0000

Just playing around with character designs for a story that I've been kicking around for a bit now...nothing final yet, but I think I'm going to use these characters (that I've drawn before) as two of the major players.

Chimp Sketches by Spits

Fri, 18 Jan 2008 16:41:27 -0000

Just felt like drawing something different...I have an idea for a picture drawn from a line from one of Beck's songs (great way to break an art block), but it involves drawing primates...with which I have no experience. I'm going to need more practice (especially with hands, dear God), but this was fun. Photo references most definitely used.

MS Paint Sangilak by Spits

Fri, 11 Jan 2008 16:29:21 -0000

I'm not sure what motivated me to do this, but I felt like drawing something completely in MS Paint (save for when I got rid of the "sketch" layer in Photoshop). It's none other than Sangilak looking kinda moody for...some reason. January, 2008

99 Luftballons by Spits

Sat, 09 Jun 2007 05:14:35 -0000

Um, yea, slightly random...Toasty, Ozy and Spits are for whatever reason amongst red balloons. I have no idea where this came from... Toasty and Ozy are (c) to their respective owners.

Spits Doodle Page by Spits

Tue, 05 Jun 2007 01:31:03 -0000

A selection of the doodles of Spits that I've done over the past few months (and yes, I do realize that two of the poses are almost identical - those two images were drawn a few months apart, but still...I should strive for more variety).

All the Wild Horses by Spits

Mon, 28 May 2007 20:11:13 -0000

All the wild horses All the wild horses Tethered with tears in their eyes May no man's touch ever tame May no man's reigns ever chain you And may no man's weight ever defray your soul And as for the clouds Just let them roll Roll away, roll away As for the clouds Just let them roll Roll away, roll away --Ray LaMontagne Reference most definitely used for this...

Spits by Spits

Thu, 05 Apr 2007 12:37:35 -0000

New fursona design. She's some type of dog/wolf/canine mix... I just feel that I have changed enough that 'Spitfire' doesn't really represent who I am anymore and that I'd rather put her back in her story framework that make substantial changes to the character.

WotBW: Summer Skin (WIP) by Spits

Tue, 03 Apr 2007 02:19:42 -0000

Squeaky swings and tall grass The longest shadows ever cast The water's warm and children swim And we frolicked about in our summer skin I don't recall a single care Just greenery and humid air Then Labor day came and went And we shed what was left of our summer skin On the night you left I came over And we peeled the freckles from our shoulders Our brand new coats so flushed and pink And I knew your heart I couldn't win Cause the seasons change was a conduit And we left our love in our summer skin --Death Cab for Cutie

WotBW: "It'll be okay, Sangilak..." by Spits

Wed, 14 Feb 2007 15:08:38 -0000

Sangilak gazes off into the distance, not yet aware that of Kayak's presence. Kayak is a "spirit" at this point and is bringing the lantern that the two of them found together back to him.

In the criminal justice system... by Spits

Wed, 14 Feb 2007 15:07:32 -0000

This is what I get for being a fan of Law and Order: CI ;). Two detective dog characters that I'm starting to flesh out a little...I'm not sure quite what I'm going to do with them (let alone name them), but I'm working on that. Drawing these guys is a good break from working on Wolves of the Boundary Waters (which is finally getting an official start!).
