When at first you don't succeed, try again.

This is probably my fourth attempt at keeping a blog, so cross your fingers that I keep it up. I think it's about time that I got serious about it, because I'm dying for an outlet for my inspirations and interests. When I get fed up with my own attempts at creativity, I'll just jump on here and post pictures and articles and poems and other things that are really touching my soul lately. Hopefully that will be a satisfying experience.

Along with all of that, I will also be posting any new works that I have produced, whether they be drawings, paintings, or writings. Do it, to it. Here's some stuff I've been digging lately:

William Blake, The Lamb

I'm really interested in the combination of visual and written art lately and William Blake is one of my main inspirations in this endeavor. Plus, the poem is just great.

Talk about nerdy. I just got this board game called Agricola. It had good reviews on Amazon and Boardgamegeek.com, so I had to give it a go, since my roomies and I have played Settlers of Catan to death. It's pretty stinking complicated, but I'm really finding it to be a satisfying experience. A good way to kill time on a rainy day, at least.

This is what I have been listening to as I've been developing this blog post. Classic album. Haven't listened to it in a while.

And here's just a dinky sketch of my roommate, Rick, that I did this evening. It felt good to just do a simple short drawing.

So, that's my first post. Hopefully the first of many. 

Also: the blog title is from the Lynyrd Skynyrd song "Simple Man". I felt like it was a pretty good representation of what I'm trying to accomplish with this blog. Just some simple loves.
