Most Recent Drawings

3 New Creations.
2 Open Mind designs that will most likely never end up on any t shirt due to the excess of colors and complexity of screen printing.
1 Finished "Snakes in the Grass" - I like how it turned out. Snakes in the grass, its dedicated to politicians, on both sides.

Snakes


Newest semi-complete drawing. It is the finished piece "snakes" but I plan on turning it into "snakes in the grass" with some exciting grass behind them.

Open Mind Apparel



Some friends of a friend are discussing starting a clothing company using art from their friends and I was asked if I was interested in creating some art to put on shirts and such. Hells yea was the answer and the Open Mind Apparel totem was the first completed piece. Here it is. I may have to redo it with exact symmetry, but maybe we will just use the original product.

Unity




My biggest most detailed piece is finally finished and too big to scan the entire picture with the scanner available to me. Once I pay to get it made into a print they will do a full scan and I will then have access to that, so for now I will just upload one section of it, its approximately 70% of the total picture. These other two partially incomplete drawings are my ideas for some t shirt designs. Word...

Drawbreaker

A couple pictures. The first one here is an incomplete drawing called "Diverse Unity". As you can see, it is comprised completely of bicolored beings fit snugly into each others shapes like a jigsaw puzzle of diverse aliens.
The second one is called "Landescape" and was a pencil sketch of a mountain scene by my friend and roommate Dave, I completely changed its aura and turned it into a trippy foreign planet's frightening landscape. If turned to the left it assumes the figure of a profile image of an alien with a beautiful headdress. If turned upside down, a new landscape is revealed, with an earthlike crust, mantle, and core. One of the coolest drawings I have ever done and will make for a great poster sized print.

A Megapost

A couple pictures that are relatively finished products, after microsoft paint touchups.

And a couple poems from my Gin 'n Tonic Demonic Phonic collection.

Word up
.
" El Conquistador "

ALIVE!!!
Barely coherent...
Darting evasively from gunfire...
hopeless...
I just killed lotsa mexicans,
named "Of Panzo" (Quixote's robust sucker *translation*),
Umberto,
Vincente Wesley Xavier,
y Zorro.

(untitled)

Always believing criterias demanded everyday, forging guarded honesty, I , Jeff, keep leaping moronicly near obvious perilous quasi-relationships, stuck totally unraveling viciously whilst xploring your zest.


The poetry collection is comprised of a strict rule of a-z... and sometimes... a-z-a.

The "Legends and Strange Dreams" album art will be available when the album is....november or something....the picture here is a band logo, originally in sharpie on white paper, now on display as a turtle, here seen with the alterations provided by Microsoft Paint and the background image provided by my photography in Holland.

Newest Poem!

After an audacious amount of attempts at alliterative "ado"'s about absolute abstractness...
I like to write short poems slash sentences...a to z, 26 words. I decided to mix it up and go back down the ladder, so I made an impromptu a-z-a, 51 words in response to a Facebook "Note" from a friend discussing why he is no longer a "Christian" but wants to express his loyalty to Christ and not the church or Christianity for what it is today, valiant, but thats not where I'm at right now, so I wrote this as a joke/ my perspective/ satire poem.

Draw-bba the Hutt


This took quite a while considering the overall size of it...but getting every thing to work with the next part takes time. So many faces...and birds...and cool things to look at, I think, one of the best pictures I've made...until the next one that is.


This is a relatively finished product. It's my stee-lay.

I tried to add a Tiger friend...she sure is a chubby cat see? si.

Microsoft Paint


Microsoft Paint, what a meticulous medium...but I love to utilize it.
I feel as though there is some sort of barrier keeping this being from its future.

A Prayer

(practically) Postmodern Prayer

Remember when I used to pray?
you were supposed to say...
yay or nay anyday now.
Remember when I used to cry?
you were s'post to reply...
with reasons why and how.
Remember when I used to trust?
you were s'post to be just
Faith in you, your son, and spirit a must, I bowed bereft.
On my knees, eyes closed, the pious experience had left.
tried to please; lies opposed.
Remember when we used to talk?
you were s'post to not mock...
foundation on your rock.
Remember when I used to hope?
you were s'post to be dope
comfort me when I mope.
Remember when I used to Believe?


part poem, part prayer, completely pragmatic. notice the meter, its unique.
8 6 6 8 6 6 8 6 14 14 6 8 6 6 8 6 6 8.

Taste my sample!

Despite the popular demand, Smith's invisible hand has limited the supply of poems created by the jeff anema in the last few months...but don't despair...they're there...just not ready to share...but because some of you do care...which is rare...i think its only fair...to give a glimpse.

"currently untitled and unfinished"

I hoped to see you
when you could be you,
but true enough
I blew it...
rough.
And said screw it.
tough.
move on,
stuff it back inside and hide the expression of any repression
avoid depression in
a void...
amid a procession presenting your presence with plentiful presents that pervade the people
and portray a powerful paternal protector practically perverted by pontificate predispositions.


and no im not depressed. nor have I been since the CCU New Student Retreat.
