In honor of South by South West that is going on right now in Austin, Texas I would like to share with you an amazing band that will be playing in Austin! “Wildcat! Wildcat!” is an LA based band and is really awesome. It is made up of three guys, Lead singers Jesse Taylor, Michael Wilson and drummer Jesse Carmichael, who started this band in 2012. Although they have all been in the music scene for sometime it wasn’t long after they joined together and created “Wildcat! Wildcat!” that there music spread across LA like wildfire. You can check out their music video for what I would say their most popular singe below. You can also find them on their webpage HERE and facebook HERE where you can find all of their upcoming shows as well as music!

Welp it’s almost here!! In honor of love day being tomorrow I thought I would put together a little playlist of my favorite lovish songs. Lovish is made up word meaning to be about love, but not totally mushy (haha just made it up). Ya know what I am saying?! Well I hope whether your single, in love, or recovering from a heart break this little playlist will bring you joy and help you know that no matter what place your at in life you are loved. Happy love day eve my friends :) Enjoy!

When I design I need a certain kinda music to be playing to be able to really focus in and create something new. It is kinda hard for me to explain what it is, but I love listening to music with little to now singing, some up beat, some slow and most of all something that can help me image an story. I developed a small playlist of the songs that I have been listening to while illustrating lately. Hope it inspires you to create something new today :) Happy Wednesday!
