Dragons aren't mythical, virgins are!
Last night, I scanned the first drawing I've ever made of a dragon. It came out pretty cool. So I put together a t-shirt with it. I'm gonna make a few changes over the next couple days to darken up the lines. I'd love to get your feedback on it though.
Bard Song Book
Meanwhile, I've been throwing around the idea of a songbook to have and sell at gigs. I love having people sing-a-long with us when we perform. But it makes it difficult when your audience doesn't know the lyrics. And thusfar, I haven't gotten to the point of actually teaching my audience lyrics.
Ed Miller is a genius when it comes to teaching song lyrics to his audience. Mostly, I think it has to do with confidence.
It's like at our Memoires of Middle Earth CD release. I just didn't feel confident that people wouldn't get bored of hearing our instrumentals. I know, our instrumentals are some of our more-popular music, but during live performances, it really takes the mood down since our instrumentals are mostly slow pieces. I guess I just feel more confident with songs that make people laugh. You get a audible and visible response.
I can't tell you how many times we've finished a performance and had an audience just staring at us...barely blinking. I'm thinking, "okay, they didn't like us. How can we make it our more entertaining?" Only to find out that they LOVED us. And our CDs sell like mad. It's boggling.
So any case, the idea of making a song book was raised so people could more easily sing-a-long. But I'm just not certain.
New art projects
I keep meaning to print up some more pictures, but haven't. But I did buy a few art supplies yesterday to get me working on some other projects. Hoping to make some nice personalized greeting cards, for fun. I'm really sick of the cards I see at stores, and I found a book a month ago. So that should be a fun little use of my time... IF I can get away from the computer long enough to do it!
