Hollow Knight Slipknot Fanart
There is a lot of hollow knight fans that listen to slipknot. I should know cause I did a poll. The metal band that won was slipknot. So, they are going to get the Hollow Knight treatment. This was a problematic fanart since it has a lot of characters. Slipknot is a pretty big band. So, I had to think a lot about their Hollow Knight counterparts. At least their outfits were easy enough. Just some nice purple. I like purple. Anyhow, I hope you like my new Hollow Knight fanart. There is going to be a video of this...
Music I Listen to While I draw
I wanted to tell you of the music I listen to while I draw. The blue Oyster cult is pretty mellowed out. I like that their songs tell stories about psychics and Godzilla. They are fun. David Bowie is cool. His music is quite varied, but I prefer is later work, when he started to add some bass into his voice. His Ziggy Stardust was a little too nasally for my taste. Depache Mode and Dido are great for napping. Dio is pretty cool. His voice has a lot of range. Godsmack comes in two mode. He is both hyper,...

Classical Music Appreciation Day: Villa-Lobos and Chopin
I was starting to get bored of modern music. It was then when I remembered that I have a huge vinyl record collection. The FIU library was giving them away for free. Since I used to work in the library, I was allowed to take as many as I wanted, so I took the entire cart. It was quite the trip to lug so many records halfway across the school. It was a right place at the right time scenario. Anyhow, today I listed to two vinyl records, both sides of them. Each vinyl record can only fit about an...
New Year in Universal Orlando Happy 2023
This weekend I went to Universal Orlando with my mom and my brother. We thought we were going to have the park to ourselves. Turns out we were wrong. We started the trip on Friday, in order to be inside the park on Saturday. It took us about 6 hours to get to our Hotel in Kissimmee. There was a lot of traffic, and all the rest stops were full. This was but a hint of what was to come. I am not going to rant about the hotel. That is a topic for a different blog. Once we were...
