August 11, Milwaukee State Fair! That's going to be my first time officially seeing the band I love more than any other...perform live. Oh yes, I'm excited. :-)

 

thanks for the shoutout phil! *is honored*

 

that essay is really quite something.
I don't think I've ever thought of their older stuff as 'junk in the trunk', but hey, that's just me.
I see his point, and I appreciate that he's not a 'stubborn fool' but personally, I think how a piece of music sounds is what draws us to in initially. The first time you hear some music, you're not going to know all the words, so the rhythm and the beat and the sound's going to have to attract you before you understand the lyrics. Lyrics are important, definitely, but they're generally not the very first things I notice; usually takes me to the second listen to get them.

 

that flamingo is pretty amazing.
I'm not gonna lie.

 

That flamingo is sooooo illegal! Respect the copyright Vic!

 

Haha Tommy shut up! :P

Anyone have any idea on how I should paint the other side? I want to do the same image but maybe with some crazy colors or something. Ideas?

 

awesome graphics and awesome everything. Thank you for the links! That flamingo painting nothing is sound thing is super cool. Way to be creative Vicky!

keep up the good work guys! (I'm trying my best not to be a lurker....) hehe.

 

mm, the graphics obviously look way better on SF's site - really awesome. I like the skulls, too, now that I'm here.

Is the stork visiting us for a reason?? ;oP

 

wait, it's a flamingo? haha *updates title*

 

@heather, maybe it's here to give us babies ;)

 

It's a heron, actually. lol.. and the auction is on Bro Am night! Guess I'll celebrate by going and hopefully raising the most money with this artwork. I got to peek at some of the other birds and none of them look any thing like this. Hopefully people will like it and not be freaked out by it. Ha ha

 

I was going to say a crane because of the beak and the body. Well nice job Vicky. Did you ever decorate the other side? Good luck at the auction.

As for the Switchfoot Theory, I'd give him an 'A' also. I love the fact that he mentions music being deeper than just what's on the outside. I wonder if those that say they don't like SF or for that matter any other band because they are just going along with everyone else......yet deep inside they really do like them but are afraid to say it.

 

^yeah i've wondered that too.

alright, changed it to heron now, haha. also added the bro-am mention.

 

Nice bird vic!
the 'Herron" is gonna get like, 5000,000,000,000 $$$, seriously.

 

I'm going to...uh...need to see that bird...for...research purposes. I'll need to hold on to it for...you know...security reasons, so if you could just send that to my house via Fed Ex..that'd be great.

 

oh and heather, the graphics added are for switchfoot.com... the feed is gonna be mainly for here now, so i'm gonna be focusing development here more than there. it's the official switchfoot blog first, switchfeed.com second.

 

I got around all of that just by saying 'bird' it's safer that way, lest I offend someone :D

 

the graphics wuld look better on switchfeed.com if you guys changed your layout. you should probably do that, i like this one but i'm almost sick of it

 

Oh! My gosh!! That bird is sooo awesome!! I want it!! :) Just to put another SF object in my room!! That is awesome!!

Oh and Cassie, I love the graphics!!

Thanks for posting Phil!!!


I HEART SWITCHFOOT!

 

Mandee, here again!!
I was just wondering if you guys were gonna come to VA!! That would be sooo awesome if you guys came to Alexandria!!


Much love amigos!!

 

I love the Heron Vicky! You are far more artistic than I. I do all my artwork through a camera lens.

That blog was interesting. But I agree. If you really don't care for a band, why spend the time ranting about how much you don't like them. Is it really going to effect your life if Jane Doe over in Florda is crazy about Switchfoot...? Not really. I just don't get it..? *Shrugs*

Keep rockin' Phil!

 

Wow, cool bird! I love the Nothing Is Sound cover so yeah, that would be cool to have in my room.

Has anyone (besides the original artworkist) ever tried to draw the Oh!Gravity. cover by hand? One time I was at a restraunt with my family and I tried to draw the cover by memory on the paper-covered table with a crayon. It was hard! lol

Does "lurking" mean going to sites and not leaving any sort of footprints(comments or anything)?

 

^ Yep.

 

Wow, that bird is amazingly awesome. lol great job!

 

That's one sexy Heron. Great job Vicky!

 

awesome job on that NIS bird Vicki!

 

Whoa, that Heron sure does look amazing!! Congrats!!

Thanks for posting Phil!

Keep rocking (to Switchfoot!!)

PLEASE come to MD or VA!!

Vicky since I live closer to you than most on here I'm thinking I need to make you an offer and just ride down and pick the bird up. Must be nice to have talent. You did a great job!

 

Lori, you should come to the auction! Haha, okay I know that's a stretch, but it's going to be really great. It's at the San Francisco Plantation here in Laplace, which is absolutely gorgeous and we get to get all dressed up and act rich. Hehe.

And thanks, everyone, but all I did was paint it. If it weren't for Switchfoot, I wouldn't have been able to do it at all because I am not creative. All the credit goes to them for creating a beautiful album, inside and out.

 

the author of the blog is going to be confused by the sudden interest in his blog until he finds out that it was linked here! I can picture it now, "what the, who are all these people? do they just troll myspace for blogs on SF??" It was a cool post though. I liked it.

 

I'm completely bummed about the Bro-Am. I would love to go however; considering I live in Ohio it's no a trip I find feasible with school. One of these days I'm gonna go....and considering it seems to fall around my birthday every year(June 3rd is my b-day) It will be a lovely present to myself...a trip to California to support a good cause.
Anyhow...the bird made me think of all this....what a thought provoking bird!!!

 

i wish i could go to Bro-Am, but, i highly doubt i ever will, because i live REAAAALLLLLYYYY far from California, and, it just wont work, but, it would be awesome if i could go.

 

I drew this cool Switchfoot thing, check it out http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w290/Agent_Mikey/img019.jpg

 

one last thing, my Switchfoot guitar, check it out (i gotta quit posting junk, however, this isnt...its really cool.)
