MIA

In unmarked ground there lies a man Who's faded now to mere remains. A shallow grave of dirt and sand Embedding deep a necklace chain. Upon those rusted links: his age, His name and blood, his faith in God. Around him strewn the soldier's wage: Honor, lead, and his loyal squad. His years had reached too few to know A loving girl who'd bear his flame. Above his bones, though grasses grow, No child to cross them wears his name. Debossed beneath his age: the blood, A single letter often spilled, Not once transfused, but lost to mud, As proof his debt to man is filled. What memory long forgotten dwells In soil brushed with wind a

The Static

I've not once seen space-faring sentient races Despite ammunition I've pumped in their faces. I've never drunk potions or cast a great spell Although I've made multiple journeys to hell. I won't claim I've played "Through the Fire and Flames," Though a 3-star performance is held to my name. I've never dived down to the dark ocean floor But I've seen an Atlantis of rapture and more. I've not held the hilt of an old master blade, Nor yet pulled the pin from a war-time grenade, Though I've plunged that great sword into beasts from the grave And thrown those old bombs into enemy waves. In the static I've battled with lead and with ste

My Bio

I am a musician from Iowa. The needs of design work for my band prompted me to explore the use of Photoshop in high school, and has continued to be a major hobby of mine. As a result, most of my posted work will probably be logos, tshirt designs, and web content for my band or bands I know personally.

Additionally, I am an English Literature major as well as lyricist for my band, and as such will probably post lots of poetry and lyrics in addition to my visual designs.

Also, for those interested, my band (Bombardier) can be found and heard at www.myspace.com/bombardiermusic

Finally decided to get a dA despite years of looking over my girlfriend's shoulder while she used it, as well as making it my one stop shop for Photoshop resources. Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of visual art to add right this second, as I really haven't made too many designs or digital artworks that I would constitute as being worth posting. Maybe having a dA will motivate me to produce more though. On the other hand, only after creating my account did I realize that I could post literature. Being an English Literature major as well as an experienced songwriter and lyricist, I will probably be slightly more prolific in posting deviation
