After years of releasing music as a singer-songwriter, Brooklyn-based musician Lauren Zettler needed to make a change. Her new electro-pop project, Lightyear, is catchy, yet dramatic, and shows her as graceful, but still vulnerable about her emotions. Drawing from influences like Emily Haines, Feist and Robyn while also tapping into her own technical skills — she’s a classically trained pianist and studied film scoring at the Berklee School of Music — Zettler is able to create beautifully fragile moments that build up to powerfully stirring points.

The creative writer, in depicting an animal’s behaviour, is under no greater obligation to keep within the bounds of exact truth than is the painter or the sculptor in shaping an animal’s likeness. But all three artists must regard it as their most sacred duty to be properly instructed regarding those particulars in which they deviate from the actual facts. They must indeed be even better informed on these details than on others which they render in a manner true to nature. There is no greater sin against the spirit of true art, no more contemptible dilettantism than to use artistic license as a specious cover for ignorance of fact.

This is a doodle from an early semester studying of chemistry. I was goofing around with the lines in somewhat of a hurried fashion, and have been experimenting with/interested in limited color selections lately. This doodle also gives tell to why my first chemistry exam’s grade was so bad.

Poop da Poop
I made my friend come to my house and organize papers with me. I made them stay up all night. When iTunes shuffle entertained us, I of course kept Carrie Underwood’s Jesus Take the Wheel playing. How do I thank my friend for keeping me awake and being my secretary for the night? By making this picture for them, of course, with the aforementioned accompaniment. There was this one as well as several others, but those insinuated bad things about their poop, so I refrain you all. Of course I had to drop this in their Tumblr box, though. What kind of friend would I be if I didn’t? Exactly.

Oppossum City- get it? “Gotham City;” “Oppossum City.” This seemed clever at 6 in the morning, you know.
And yes, spelling intentional.
