The purpose of this blog is to document everything I have crafted artistically over the years. I therefore added drawings that I did and that I somehow still have. I am a horrible drawer and so is my handwriting and I never claimed to be able to do anything serious with them. So why did …
this album was a turning point, especially in hindsight. i used to tell people on Myspace “this will be a special release, it will even have a music video” and it was held back until valentines day. released triskalyon website at the same time. the last chords played in Love Within Extended reflect the …
To understand how Throne of Mortality formed, we must go back a year before, around October 2004, at the end of the Scapegoat phase. While attending a New Jersey high school, J.P. Stevens, I met Howard Change (Sabbat) by coincidence, as I was wearing a Mr. Bungle t-shirt or hoodie (I had both). That autumn …
I don’t remember which girl this was about, but I know she drove me nuts! A safe guess would be that it was influenced by the Throne of Mortality song “Sa Voix Dans Ma Tête”, which was about Dylan Seymour.
I drew this when I was selling Christmas Trees in NYC during December 2006.
I saw a willow tree while working earlier in the month, my cousin told me it was his favorite type of tree, and it was always one of mine.
This was a very weird drawing. I think I was trying to make an ultimate black metal character, which was influenced by Meyhna’ch from Mutillation. I never cut myself so this has no connection with myself, other than the hairstyle was pretty similar.
This was supposed to be an idea for a logo of the first Throne of Mortality EP, “Monumental Dedication”.
This was drawn the following day of writing the poem of the same name.
This was a drawing of Alfred Hitchcock’s own caricature. He used to draw it all the time, and I was quite obsessed with him, so I attempted to draw it too. For a while I even posted it on my wall.
Here is a drawing of The Slopin Fairy 7. I guess I was going through my Wiccan phase. And of course HDS, it was more than likely my signature on the drawings.
Another reference to HDS
This drawing was given to my math teacher Adrienne Vanzetta, it was the drawing she liked most in the pile.
I’m not sure what “The K” was, but this does mention The Slopin Fairy 7, as well as my nickname at the time HDS
Funny story about this drawing. At the time I was attending New York Military Academy. I had originally drawn a similar graphic on my forearm during class as a wanna-be tattoo. The teacher sent me to the infirmary to get it washed off under pretense that I could get ink poisoning. So the next day …
This drawing was done during art class in military school. The teacher asked us to do a drawing for homework and I handed this thing I was doing during class.
I had gotten my first guitar in December of 2002, because my best friend Jeremy had gotten one three months prior in September. I started to write my first song in May or June of 2003. That first song was “Break”. Sometime from late June to early July of 2003, I went to visit my …
