I'M WRITING YOU A CHORUS AND HERE IS YOUR VERSE
Busy last couple of weeks. Comic Con was great as always! Got to hang out with some of my favorite dudes Brian Ewing and Jermaine Rogers for a little bit! Go check out their artwork if you don't know who they are. They're huge inspirations of mine and awesome guys for letting me bug them all the time! As always, those few days in San Diego left my wallet empty and I didn't even buy half of what I wanted. Checked out some cool panels (Always Sunny was amazing!) and hung out with some good friends. Then as soon as all that craziness was over, the fun continued with my birthday!!! To say I'm exhausted is an undertatement. During all this I did manage to do a simple illustration that you can all see now. Though it was finished last week, I decided to wait until today to put it up because today is the 1 year anniversary of my website! Happy Birthday www.melissasanchezart.com!! Small changes to the site for the occasion, nothing too big. Been listening to a lot of With The Punches, The Crosstown Rivalry, Four Year Strong and The Unlovables. I'll be at Warped Tour in Pomona in a couple of weeks so come say hi if you spot me in the pit or something. Hopefully I'll be working on a bunch of new projects soon that I can share with you guys. Thanks to the 4 people who check this site occassionally, you mean the world to me <3 Until then...

ON THE FOURTH DAY OF JULY, DEEP IN SUMMER'S EYE
Hello all. So I did a T-shirt design that I tweeted about a couple of weeks ago that I've yet to put up on the site. I apologize. I left the files on my work comp so come next week I'll grab those and throw them on here. I also was lucky enough to do another gig poster, this time for Unwritten Law. I'm pretty stoked about that! Listened to a lot of Nofx and Home Grown (That's Business era) while working on this. The show's tonight so if you're in the So. Cal area you should go! I would love to be there but unfortunately I had prior committments and I will be at Hootenanny today. Actually on my way as soon as I finish typing this. Gonna see Old 97's, Chuck Berry, and Jerry Lee Lewis! Excited!! The last thing is if you noticed I put a blog link on my page. Seems like everyone's about Tumblr nowadays. I've had one for a while but I was really bad at updating it. I decided to jump back on and post regularly. It's not all necessarily about my art, its more of stuff I'm into and me ranting about music. I will though post art related stuff. So if you're bored or wanna stalk me and know what I'm thinking then check out my blog at http://musicislove.tumblr.com or just click on the Blog link on this page yo! Go listen to Thrice, Alkaline Trio, and Four Year Strong 'cuz that's who I've been listening to lately. Have a Happy 4th! Till next time....

I'M SICK OF YOUR TATTOOS, AND THE WAY YOU DON'T APPRECIATE BRAND NEW, OR MAE
I'm stoked that I can finally announce that I just finished a poster for Authority Zero & AMI Productions. You can check it out under the Gig Posters section of the site. I listened to a lot of Finch while working on this. Not sure if this was because I was in a Finch mood, or because I was drawing birds like crazy and well, a finch is a bird. Anyways, I'm super excited about the poster. There's also a new logo I designed in the Design section. I should have a few more new things up by this weekend. Brand New (YFW era), Living With Lions and Senses Fail have been taking over my headphones, as well as New Years Day. Go listen to their song "Mrdr"!!!!

SAY IT LIKE YOU MEAN IT
There is a new drawing up in the Illustration section. It's sort of a self portrait except for the fact that it looks nothing like me! I guess it's more of a representation of all my favorite bands/all the bands that made a difference or had some sort of impact in my life. There's actually A LOT MORE but I couldn't fit all of them into one drawing! Anyways I hope you like it. I'm hoping to be posting more new stuff here in the upcoming months. Been listening to a lot of Balance and Composure, La Dispute, Polar Beat Club and Heatmiser, as well as Allison Weiss, so you should check them out. Hope you all have a great Memorial Day! I'm off to San Diego for the day. Go play "Say It Like You Mean It" by The Starting Line today - good summer music.

POP ROCKS
I realllllllyyyyy suck at updating this so it's probably best to follow me on Twitter (@Melissa_Art) to keep up to date with stuff. I promise I am working on new stuff - I just haven't had time to finish things because I have what many artists know as a "day job" - gotta pay the bills! Anyways, I'm putting the finishing touches on a Movielife inspired tattoo for my friend so I'm stoked about it! Still haven't finished the NFG comic - it's taking a lot out of me on that one hah! As far as illustration goes, I've done some sketching here and there, and worked on a few personal pieces that I don't think I'll be putting up on the site. Don't take it personal though, I'm not showing anyone! Except maybeeee my dog. In the Design world though I've been pumping out stuff left and right - though that's because it has to do with my day job. At least it keeps me busy. Still going to shows when I get a chance. Been listening to a LOT of The Spill Canvas and The Wonder Years! Other than that nothing much going on. Comic Con soon!!! Stoked. Until then....

CRASHING PARTIES
So there's a couple new pieces up in the Illustration, Design and Misc sections. I've been working on a lot of web stuff lately so I really haven't had time to draw. I'm trying really hard to finish that New Found Glory comic. It looks so cool, I can't wait to show you guys!

YEAH YEAH YEAH.
Took forever but the site is finally up. Nothing special, just a simple layout to showcase my work. Lots of new things coming in the next few months! Enjoy for now.
