The Groove Fits

I've been in bands almost as long as I've been making art so it's only natural that I take influence from sounds to create visuals. Any musician or true music lover knows how great it is when a groove fits and all the members of a band mesh together and create a perfect melody. I wanted to try to capture that moment with this piece called, "The Groove Fits". The guitarist and bass player are in a glued-together state to represent impeccable timing and a joint understanding of the song.

Here's a gratuitous shot of me playing the drums.

$1 ORIGINAL Drawing Auction on Myspace

Fellow artist Aaron Jasinski has inspired me to create a series of art paying homage to my other creative love: MUSIC. Since I was a full-time musician before becoming a full-time artist, my love for music should naturally be represented in my art. Jaskinski has been doing this for a while, and I decided I've been waiting too long.

I am auctioning this pencil drawing used to plan out the first painting. The drawing measures 8"x10" and is graphite on acid-free drawing paper. It has been sprayed with Prismacolor Fixative for protection. Bidding starts at just $1. Just go to www.myspace.com/godstattooguy and click the New $1 Original Drawing Auction blog. Bidding ends Thursday June 18th 2009. Have fun!
