Group Pics

The original format of the top page pic. (when it/is/was up) Thought I'd put it 'ere cuz I may change the top pic when the mood hits. But this is the main one. I love the poses....they look like they got their 1st album photo shoot or something. BAM! We're the Ameliorites!

Think they'll always get along like peas on a pod? Well....no. Sometimes the peas get rather testy. And frankly I think it's kinda humourus. Gives a new meaning to "Band Bash" eh?

Snort....the guys....cruisin for chicks. Obviously....they're not that good with the ladies. And I have no idea how Javier's girlfriend puts up with him....>sigh< (ps...um...maybe the car is Javier's...)

I know...its mostly Garr...but...I dunno. Wanted to put it here. Javier is doing the commentary in the background. Ok, why'd I draw this? I was watching a bunch of guys figure skating. You know...a lot of them have hair that I would imagine to be pretty close to Garrett's style. Guess that got me thinking. That and I wanted to prove you didnt have to be a prissy figure skater to do some stuff. Garr's good at skating dang it. (just a kinda sucky hockey player is all) Well...most of the time. I guess he just shouldnt try triple lutzes. (whatever those are)

Was the Top pic for a while. Untill I got sick of it and another one replaced it. Still like this one...its fun! Cept I don't think they'll be breaking into the US for a long long time...if ever. :T

Was a top as well. Again...its a differnt style. And the writing is japanese. The big thing *should* say Rock Star. The little writings are their names in Japanese. Cool eh?

Didnt know where to put this...so, it got put here. Since I now have layers figured out to a degree...I decided to try some more cool stuff. Didnt know what to do, so I decided to make what could be the Amelio's 1st cd. I even made up 17 songs! ;D Added: Ok, decided to say what I think a few of the songs could be like! Weee! Ok...Calling Mountain: Kinda a peace-full bit. A bit cathartic perhaps. The Sykes bros little...duo thing. Piano, col's swilring guitar...Hmm...just hear a Tim Vesely song. OK...Elevated: Rock on. About being in a good mood for no reason whatsoever. Rockin yo. Eer...Bring It On Home: Um...no clue right now. Crap. So...Oh, Canada: A folk rockish song about what the guys love and hate about their own country. But overall they love it there. :) Art. Paint. Scratch: Art Rockish. Maybe the weirdest song on the album. Rockish though. Artsy too. thats all i can come up with! SO...oh gord...LOL! Lou Reed Wouldn't Tune: A....tribute to not tuning, and the joys of being a rock star. (or wanting to be one in this case) All the Blue Eyes Never Knew: A mystery song. Takes a couple listen throughs to understand it. one of those songs that makes you go..."What? ....Oh...OH! Oh....." You Annoy Me (But you Are Me): Perhaps the most angsty song on the album. Garrett's song about all the things that annoy him about himself. Still artsy rock though. If Only This Were True: A sad song? A wistfull song? A melencholy song? A....bittersweet song. Thats it... I can hear lots of Colin backup vocal in this one. (remember, high falsetto guy here!) Angel LeCloude: Fictionalized girlfriend song. Every canadian band has to have at least one of these. Woke Up: BNLClover summed up my idea with...Soulfull. A slightly angsty, sad, artsy song. Swirling guitars and vocals. All The Same Colours: Bringing everyone back to earth. Snap you back awake! This is the real life man. Rockin, but not as hard as the others. Maybe a bit more....popish. Only..not....>shrug< Greasy Axel Big Wheel: Fun Rockin song about an odd week that happend to them on their 1st tour. The wheel and axel part is reflected in their memories of one of their flat tires. Music At You: Everyone has to be sarcastic sometime. This is the amelio's sarcastic art rock song. but they'll sing it at you with sincere smiles on their faces. Only they know what it means. Or do they? Big Dumb: Silly song about childhood. Silly in a rockin way. Track 16: "yeah, whats the name of it?" "Track 16." "yeah, whats it called?" "...Track 16." "yeah, that's what I'm asking you." "And I'm telling you....Track 16!" lol. Adam brings in some of his jazziness, and this one swings with fun. Not too many vocals. just lots of cheering and crap. Colin's Greatest Hits: Wasn;t going to go on the cd because it was just recorded nonesense jamming, featuring Colin whooping falsetto nonesense and singing and jamming away like no one's business. They put it on mostly to embarrass Colin. :) Wow...you can almost...not hear these in your head. hey! If i was musical I'd put these together for real!

>shrug< Ok...The guys thought it'd be funny yo have a facial hair contest. (Hmm, maybe one of them heard of BNL's little mustache contest?) I have no idea who won overall...but...Colin won "Grizzly Adams." Gavin won "You Look Better WITH facial hair!" Garrett won, "Might be able to get into a bar without ID" and Adam won, "Looks most like Shaggy from Scooby Doo" hehehe. My evil friend Kell said one of them shouldn't be able to grow facial hair...she thought it would be funny if garrett couldnt...but...seeing on his genetic background is English, and Scots-Irish....I really doubted he'd have trouble. So I let Adam have that problem! Ahahahaha! Im so mean to him...

Weeee! Spring has sprung!! Was a top.

I had been wanting to draw a picture of Garrett, Ray, and Elaina hanging out back in the day of high school. So here it is. Back when all was good, and all that mattered was your little tiny clique that other people didn't understand. Rock on.

Suddenly had another urge to re-draw the Amelio's as youth. In these pics they are around 5 years old. See if you can figure out who's who.

Was the top for Canada day. Left if up for a few days after because i was too busy to take it down!

Was a top for a while because it rocked my socks off and it was a new style I guess. Im not even sure what inspired it...

Realized I drew more "regression" pictures than "progression". That and I think I draw the guys younger than they really are. So...I tried my hand at progression and tried to age em a bit more. I think it worked...however I dont think they're all in the same age bracket. (meaning, they're not all aged to..say...29 or something...) I'm not really sure what I aged them each to. Adam looks the oldest here though... (he will ALWAYS be freaky looking!)

Realized that in most of my pictures, they're from the same angle. With that in mind...I decided to do a different angle. Here it is. I took an unusual amount of time for detail and stuff....I like this. Half realisim, half...whatever.

Felt like drawing the guys uber cute. I guess this is called "chibi" for all you eastern art freaks. ;)

Playing with more free flowing styles.

This style done at the request of Clovah!!! I think its pretty sweet for anime. Click Here for a really weird take and coloring of this picture.

Was the halloween top.
