Bowman Family Portrait

I drew this for my parents for Christmas last year.  Pencil; ink writing.

Donate Organs

Shall I donate my organs

So another human can see through my eyes?

Kidneys pump,

Liver, gets rid of toxins and God knows what

My heart in someone else’s body

My feelings once connected to my brain

Was that destined?

I feel a need to preserve

What kind of person is the receiver?

I will never know

How generous will I be

In another body?

Let’s hope the gun

Never fires again

Besides, I’ll have an unfinished obituary

Youth in Asia

just recorded 8 songs back to back.  They sound like what we think they should sound like.  I think we will have a proper demo tape within a month.

Buellton--Keepin' It Real

One of my favorite slow, folky, rock bands from and named after my hometown of Buellton, CA (home of the god damn split pea soup.)

The Crossed Swords

Grandmother Stork

A little pencil drawing I made a few years ago.  Dedicated to my late grandmother, Amelia Martinez.

Youth in Asia!

My new punk band with Brian Azevedo (Brian O'blivion) and Darwin Doud (The Darwin) and I (Steely Paul) played our first show at our friend Sadie's house last night.  After the cops gave us a stern noise warning, we moved the party inside and were able to play our set.  The whole show was recorded by Anabel Curry.  Lead Leaf (O'blivion & I) opened up the night followed by Oakland's Public Library and Oakland's Karen.  The cops showed up and after a long moment of fear and depression, we moved things inside.  Many many thanks to Sadie and Zach for being the best hosts and letting us play despite the pigs.
