Music isn’t just about sound, man. It’s about the whole experience? How does it make you feel? What does it make you see? And, most importantly, how does it sound?

I used to paint a lot when I was younger. Really pumping still life was my bag, like Vinny Van Gogh crossed with Paul Van Dyk. I lost a lot of my stuff after the divorce (I used Corn Flakes for a lot of my pieces. My ex poured milk on them in a fit of rage). Still, I’ve found a few that I hope you enjoy.

Bob Dylan Fish
This answers the age-old question of whether Bob Dylan would still be as good if he was a fish.

jus’ thinkin’

This is some concept art I put together for my first album (pending release, pending writing, pending album deal. Nearly there!). As you can see I’ve tried to establish the idea of the world and a person in it. My music primarily deals with these two issues: people and the world.

I try to hint at this in my song ‘People and the World’…

People and the World (Words by M Barker, Music by dunno)
People and the World
People and the World
People and the World
Yeeeeaaaah.

I figured that if I covered people and the world in my lyrics, I’d essentially be writing a song about everything, and it would automatically be better than even American Pies by Don McLean. But then I started thinking spacially, and I had to write a follow-up, but ‘Aliens and Animals and Space etc’ just wasn’t as catchy, man.

Looking back at it though, it’s a little bit cryptic. I should’ve taken a leaf out of Eiffel 65′s book and just sung about a Picasso period (I loved their ‘Massacre in Korea’ B-Side).
