Do you like Oingo Boingo? I sure do, as I've recently discovered. For those of you who don't know, Oingo Boingo is what Danny Elfman did before Tim Burton. I swear, it's like Jack Skellington serenading me. It's his voice, after all. I got inspired, after a loooooong dead period. I had taken a leave of absence from DA, trying to get my art going in some sort of new direction. What happened wasn't anything drastic, but I am enjoying the process a lot more than I used to, especially since I'm taking things slowly with my personal art.

I'm sure you can see some Jill Thompson influences here; I'm gaining a love of skeletons which I'm trying to express to other people (my father doesn't really get it.....then again, my father has more of an uneasiness with death than I do, so it's okay). Besides being a cute picture, I see this as trying to say how I feel about my life in general. I'm always trying to see the big picture, and that includes a whole lot of death. I seem to fall in love with the big picture sometimes.

Ah, excuse my ramblings. This really is meant to be lighthearted; and if you haven't checked out Oingo Boingo yet, that's what you should really be doing!
