There is a quaint little town nestled in the clouds on the highest mountaintop called Birdville. The town is not haphazardly named so though, for all of its inhabitants are some variation of feathered bird. Correspondingly, there is a bustling city at the base of the mountain called “Peopleplace”, in reference to its inhabitants which are, of course, human.

If one were able to visit Birdville (for it can only be reached by flight), one may have questions about some of its odd looking residents, namely the ones with feathered bodies and beakless faces. Though their human visages set them apart appearance-wise from the majority of the other residents, they are quite accepted into Birdville society and act as a reminder of something that happened long ago.

Legend has it that there was a time when the humans of Peopleplace could fly and the birds of Birdville could speak, but neither knew of the existence of the other. One day, rumors started to circulate in both towns, hinting at the existence of the other and causing a lot of anticipatory commotion. Finally, one day, with curiosity propelling them, the humans flew up to visit the unusual town on the top of the mountain that was said to have another speaking life form. Upon arriving in Birdville, the humans were warmly welcomed by the town’s residents who used speech to show their enthusiasm over meeting another species that could fly.

There was much excitement between the two groups and deep friendships were formed through long, intimate conversations and exhilarating shared flights. When it became apparent that more and more visits between the birds and humans would occur, it was quickly decided that any physical co-mingling of the two species was strictly forbidden. Any breach of this law would be seen as a crime against nature.

However, as is oft to happen, the rules were broken, and some humans and birds were caught engaging in forbidden romantic activity. This scandal caused outrage and a feeling of betrayal by the residents of Birdville who felt the more evolved humans were to blame. From that time on, the residents of Birdville became less trusting of the residents of Peopleplace and eventually humans were no longer as warmly welcomed. Relations between the two species became so strained that contact between them dwindled away to almost nothing.

The legend goes on to explain that the punishment laid out for these alleged crimes against nature is that humans can no longer fly and birds can no longer speak.  Therefore, the only humans that can be found in Birdville will be on the back of one of the town’s flying residents and the only communication to humans from Birdville residents occurs with the flapping of their wings.

As for the appearance of a fully clothed lamb in Birdville? That is a story for another day.

Just messing around.  A bit too early for Valentine's day, huh?

This envelope was drawn all by hand, the symbol at the bottom is 'love' in Chinese. The envelope itself isn't that great as I didn't have any envelopes so I had to make one out of paper and stick my drawing on top.

Hope this Helps!

I dunno if you can see it, but I like seeing what everyone can do with the outlines of my squiggles, so knock yourselves out. Just did this today (instead of doing hw, yay procrastination!). Watercolored version coming soon

This is ACTING, folks!

(I so don't want to be type cast in this type of voice-over role, but I thought I could do a decent job of portraying the character with my voice, so I wanted to make this available to the community in case it is of any use - I can't stand this character personally!)

shhh be nice i've never written a song before

Well, SandyNgu did some great new additions to the chibirecorder's family, so I decide to create two new records, this is the first one, and it's about the hitrecorders walking around the world!!! I hope you all like this! huugs guys!

This is the other version of The Chibirecorders around the world, I just love these little guys, Sandy just made an amazing job creating them and I just love to contribute with some ideas about this wonderful chibis! Hugs everyone!!!

I colored this a few months ago for fun (EvaButNoApple's sketch was too cute to resist) and never uploaded it; I found it today and figured I might as well. Not so sure why I didn't color the boy.

"He loves watching the stars too."

Everybody's talkin'

maybe we'll just play along

'cause there ain't no definition

who can say what's right or wrong?

yeah 'cause no one really knows

how the story really goes

so we'll just carry on

we just carry on

lookin' for the answers,

you been travelin' far and wide,

yeah but everything you seekin'

you can find it deep inside

yeah 'cause no one really knows

how the story really goes

so we just carry on

we'll just carry on

I had such a happy birthday, and had the overwhelming urge to write a little ditty to try and express how happy you guys make me all. So it's kind a little lullaby. For you. ^__^ <3

Time has come to say goodnight

All my secrets wash away

Gazing back on the way I've come

Guided by your love and light

Sweeping footprints in the sky

Show me that I'm not alone

Hands on shoulders hands on hearts

Hands like wings helping me fly

Make me paper boats and planes

Colour my daytimes with the rain

Keep me safe and keep me close

For you are the one I love the most

Hours passing like a stream

And still I find myself to be

Strong and running, like a sail

Riding the waves towards my dream

Don't forget me, don't lose sight

Remember now for you and I

Each minute counts, each second's gold

And both our lives will soon take flight

Make me paper boats and planes

Colour my daytimes with the rain

Keep me safe and keep me close

For you are the one I love the most

Thank you darling, thank you dear,

Thank you for always keeping me near

Thank you for me and thank you for you

Thank you for loving me, loving me true.

Make me paper boats and planes

Colour my daytimes with the rain

Keep me safe and keep me close

For you are the one I love the most

An old favorite of mine

Immediately upon seeing wirrow's gorgeous “mountain tops are lifting,” I couldn't get the idea of doing it in stained glass out of my mind (I also thought it could be cool as a quilt... anyone want to take that one on?). Anyways, I most desperately wanted it hanging in my window. And now it does:) And I only bled a very little bit in the process (glass, as one might expect, is rather sharp (as are the edges of the copper foil tape, which was more of a surprize)).

Making of video coming soon! is here: http://www.hitrecord.org/records/494472

These are 2 of my favorite things

Matthew

Cornelius the cat was an eccentric fellow,
Dressed in all the colours from blue to yellow,
With patterns never seen on a feline before,
Clothes colourful and brash, he did so adore!

He was shunned by his peers for his curious dress,
And even his family thought his style was a mess,
For his taste in loud colours went beyond what he wore,
Bold colours could be seen on his walls and his floor.

No visitors came calling, or rang on the phone,
So Cornelius spent most of his time all alone,
“I won’t change who I am for anyone ” he said,
As he played with a ball of bright orange thread.

He did have one cousin who’s taste was the same,
Cornelius kept his portrait in a colourful frame,
But his cousin would hide his penchant for loud colours,
Dressing plainly in public to be just like the others.

While Cornelius could envy his cousin at times,
Getting phone calls and visitors would be so sublime!
But changing who he was simply to get along,
Going against his true nature just seemed so wrong.

For Cornelius the cat enjoyed being unique,
Looking like everyone else wasn’t such a feat,
For what was so special about all being the same?
Cornelius thought not standing out was a shame.

So Cornelius will stay in his colourful home,
Without any visitors or calls on the phone,
And wear colours with patterns that are both bold and brash,
And continue to be different from all other cats!

when we grow up, we forget

and spend the rest of our lives 

trying to remember

You know how you see all those character posters/banners at cinemas promoting upcoming movies?  Here is my take on a MMM2 version of those, inspired by the poster of "Horrible Bosses" ...and I just want an excuse to slap those fantastic words from the MMM universe onto the drawings

The drawings were actually done for another purpose, but one day when I was walking home I saw a double decker bus with the "Horrible Bosses" banner on it and I just thought it would be fun to have something similar for the MMM flims~

finally got this done... eh heh... anybody want to write a little story for this? :<

p.s - can you see the creature created by the steam?

Inspired by yes-you-am's cool logo animation I decided to try my hand at stop motion and hand stitched the hitrecord logo.

Done with one red sharpie and a security envelope, for the irony, and because I wanted the envelope to feel like it was made from what was lying around. I wanted it to feel fairly low quality, jumbled and on the line of creepy-juvenile.

Malicore's "The D Drop" with some added vocals. Needs to be remixed or maybe have some singers re-do the vocals?  I think we can make this into something. lyrics:

everybody's talkin'

maybe we'll just play along

'cause there ain't no definition.

who can say what's right or wrong?

yeah, 'cause no one really knows

how the story really goes

so we just carry on.

lookin for the answers

you been travellin' far and wide

yeah, but everything you seekin

you can find it deep inside 

yeah, 'cause no one really knows

how the story really goes

so we just carry on.

science, religion

it's all superstition

all of the facts are just based on fiction

a whole lot of theories

but nothing's been proven

why waste my time grovellin'?

i'd rather be groovin'

movin my body, the beat of my heart

music and poetry, collaborative art

brings us together like nothing else can

i wish i could show you so you'd understand

just like breathin'

i know that you can feel it

don't just read it 

sing it like you mean it.

Added some vocals behind this awesome track. Don't know whether the wolf howls are too much? ^__^

Run along little wolf boy, they're coming after you

Shed your little lambskin boy, there's a big bad wolf in you

I've been working on my first animated shortfilm and I made this song for the last scene. The film is about bad dreams and stuff like that. Actually one of my pictures inspired the story. (Bad Dreams) There's a lot of work to do on the film, but I just wanted to share this here. Hope you like it! :)

Ghost freak me out but this tiny story was too cute!

A tiny illustration to go along with heyitsstevie's tiny story...

Jennifer made my daughter Kaia a series of onesies featuring artwork from the site by jonthewallflower and imadealine. <3 Thanks so much for everything Jennifer!!!
