Artist's Comments

A colored pencil drawing I did of Rob Beckley from Pillar that I started last school year and finished a couple minutes ago. Much fun! :D Sorry about the poor quality; I took a picture instead of scanning....

I actually wanted to also include the other three current band members, but I have to do 24 pics by the end of the school year so I can't really afford to spend too much time on one drawing ^^;

I'll be showing it to my teacher tomorrow, so it might go into a contest or something. I don't know yet.... >.> (hence the watermark)

The title comes from:
"Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it. And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown. Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air. But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified."
-1 Cor. 9:24-27

This passage, if I remember right, is the one that inspired the song For The Love Of The Game (which one of my fav songs!): [link]

Well, I gotta go fill out more first-week-of-school paperwork now! *is in a rush right now* lol

That everyone has piercings!!

I've seen guys having one ear pierced, not two. And a nose ring on a guy!? lol.

I don't know... I find it odd; defiantly for Pillar. They were more old school rock, now they're going for more hard core rock of an image. It doesn't fit them.
