Blasted- luvin' ALIEN.

Wow, found this 'lil gem in the archives. It was my infamous 'Alien' creature that I built way back in high school. I was hooked on the original Alien design that I challenged myself to build one too as part of my final independant assignment. This thing stood over about 4 feet tall, fully articulated and even had it's own 'tongue' snapping signature.
The one story my art teacher will never forget was when the time while I was constructing this piece. I had a minor accident and the dang beast fell and bonked me right on my nose! Well my art teacher witnessed the scene and was kind enough to rush me some paper towels for my bleeding injured nose, lol. It hurt but looking back, it was pretty funny. My art teacher even did a humorous illustration of the class room with me fighting with my creature.

Rockin

Remembering 9/11

A Thousand Cries

A thousand cries that sound as one
Forever silenced in a moment
The smoke and dust that blocks the sun
The terror that has been wrent

The innocent lives that have been lost
The families ripped apart
To find the guilty no matter the cost
Cannot mend the heart

The days ahead will be long
The pain it shall be great
The retribution for the wrong
Will now be left to fate

We will strive to remember
The evil that was done
That sad day in September
A thousand cries sounded as one
Dedicated to those lost Sept.11,2001
