Of Winter and Water Birds

..best known as "Restless", is a movie that was on theatres this past Christmas and which I absolutelly loved. 

This drawing is supposed to be of Enoch and Annabel lying on the ground surrounded by a chalk silhouette that they have drawed. I like them so much but also the movie.. they say it's not Gus Van Sant best projects, but anyway.. I liked it.. like a fairytale, like a lovestory based on all those little things no one seems to ever pay attention to, and that I love so much.

"Of Winter and Water Birds" was supposed to be its name before it was thought as a film, but then, they change it. I'd rather they would have kept this large title better than the "Restless" one.. it seems to suit much more better the movie.. it gives relevance to those little things I was telling you about..

I fell by the movie soundtrack too.. you know, all those Sufjan Stevens's songs, but also that ending Nico's song, The Fairest Of The Seasons.. I was tearing apart when that little one showed up.

So this was not meant to be a "movie recommendation" but ended up seeming one. But anyway, if you like little sweet stories, I think you would like this one.

Hope you liked the drawing though it's a very rough one.. (I just posted it cause I liked the feeling.. I felt that if I touched it, it would lose the feeling, so I leave it like that)

Here, I think this song by Sufjan Stevens (yeah, it's in Restless soundtrack) suits the feeling of the drawing.. (maybe 'cos it's what I was listening to when I was drawing it..)

some Restless images too..

I never felt so safe

A line I once told her

Warm resting place

Her arm on my shoulder..

Wolverine is really sweet too, if you wanna give it a listen. It really gets me when the song says "It's not your fault, it's not your fault, it's not your fault..."

Into My Heart

I will take the dark part of your heart into my heart..

I've been listening to Perfume Genius's "Dark Parts" and this line really suits my feelings and my way to go about things in a perfect way. That's why I started drawing not knowing where that would get me, just trying my best to put the feeling into it, and it ended up like this little thing up here.

There's one little thing you don't know about me, though maybe you've already notice, and it's my love for wind. I've got an obsession with hair blowing in the wind.  I feel like I could stand there forever.. just feeling the air. And, though it might sound stupid, this stopped me for so long on having my hair cut. I don't know, but I just love it.. really... 

And this little landscape exists.. there is a place here in Catalunya (Spain) up in the north, called Casserres, where I did go this past summer.. and I when I saw this place with the rocks and the landscape (plus sunset) I felt in love at the very first sight.. Really. I couldn't stop looking at the landscape. I just couldn't. So in my mind I made myself a promise that I would do at least, one drawing about it. And I've finally did it.

Tona.

On a clear day

..sitting and feeling the soft breeze.

Kiki's Delivery Service - On a Clear Day

I needed a break.. and I did this.. actually that's what happens when I'm overexposed to Ghibli's music..

I've come home, I'm so cold..

"Oh, it gets dark, it gets lonely

on the other side from you.

I pine alot, I find the lot

Falls through without you

I'm coming back love, cruel Heathcliff

My one dream, my only master.

Too long I roam in the night

I'm coming back to his side to put it right

I'm coming home to wuthering, wuthering,

Wuthering Heights."

So this little one up here was done while listening to Kate's Bush "Wuthering Heights". I love the idea of how this song just happened to my life. I was listening to Kate Bush and thus this song got started and inmediately came a weird familiar feeling as if I had been listening to this song all my life, thought I've never really realized so.

It was weird but I felt for the song inmediatelly and I couldn't get it out of me, so I did this drawing. She's supposed to be Cathy, cold and sad.. but th truth is that I just started the book today so I don't know how Cathy looks like.. though by clips and stuff I imagined her like this. But also there was a little bit of Kate's Bush inspiration in her. I wanted the hair to look as if by the rain and cold it had gone really curly.

here I leave you the song..

Unnable to do work

Why am I able to do this in just five minutes or so.. and unable to do the drawings I've got to do for school ??

bahh.. feeling frustrated today.. sorry.

You don't know how it feels

..you don't even care.

I don't want this dream to end..

.. not yet.

I wish you would stay, but it's not in my hands such thing.. and it would be so mean to ask you to stay if you don't want to, but, oh, how I wish you would stay.


I dunno, lots of feelings and thinking about smth.. I really don't know what's gonna happen next, the only thing I know is that I have the feeling that the dream has already gone.. that was it, and I missed it.. now maybe there's only the phantom of it..


by the way, the one up here is Connor Hanwick, from the DRUMS

Only the Horses

"So I'll just tell you now, this is our final bow, if you don't know the way to hold me let me show you how. And if this is the end, it's the best place i've ever been, it feels so good to just get lost sometimes.. Only the horses can find us tonight. Only the horses can bring us back home.."


Scissor Sisters's new song Only The Horses inspiration tonight.. haha :) but also some Aimee Phillips and JP's jacket http://instagr.am/p/JDKzNZvJ3l/ although this two inspirations where not pretended but somehow happened..


the song..

hope you are ok :)

Leaving you behind

"I'm leaving you behind.. being by your side has been the most enjoyable thing ever, but now i've got to go.. i don't know if i'll ever see you again but i promise i'll keep the memory of this place as a treasury.. this few years here have been a dream.. but you know.. after all, this is the place where dreams come true."


I've been thinking about some old story lately.. it left a broken heart, maybe two. So what do you think, what hurts more, being left behind or leaving someone behind?

Bee Hoping

There's a place i'm going and I want you to be there
if you give yourself to me, I'll take you from here

and then we'll be in love and free from all I've come to be

Either way, I'll be hoping

for the day when I see you

either way, I'll be hoping

for the day when I can see your face..

Bee Hoping - Joy Electric

So this is an old drawing.. i believe i draw this one last summer... but never really get to finish it. 

And now I don't know why.. maybe just because i was listening to it.. but Joy Electric's Melody suited here.

here's the link to the song (myspace) i could not find a link on youtube.. sorry.

Keep your hearts open to the lovely melodies that come to sweet your dreams at night..

I'll be by your side

"Don't worry, whenever you need me, i'll try to be there by your side.. and if every stupid word i say is gonna make you smile, i'll say the most stupid things, and never ever stop. And i'll never miss one smile, no i'll never miss one tear.."

Been drawing all day.. and now i needed to do this.. it was like.. <oh, i've got to draw this now..> and i did it, and actually is the first drawing i really like since my "the kid and his synth"..

hope you like it..
