The Beach Boys - Blog Posts
Here's my entry for a holiday challenge on Brian Wilson's instagram. Had a lot of fun drawing this! Hope it brings joy to other Wilson fans.
Sean wanted blue
colored pencil, calbayog city, 2025
Sean, my nine year old son, told me he wanted a drawing that was just blue, so I'm drawing this. I've used four different blue pencils so far, but hear me out. As I worked the pigments with alcohol, I could see that the darker blue was bleeding off some purple, which was lovely. So I went back to my pencil box and found a lavender pencil, which is not exactly blue, but it made the drawing look just like the ocean off the coast here which is way cool.
Sean likes it, so far, so..
I'm going to add more. I think. But I seriously love these colors.
Brian Wilson - The Lonely Sea

So, I just watched Love and Mercy last night and it was so fucking good, I literally almost cried twice, it was so upsetting but also so perfectly made. The sound design was so unique and amazing and the studio recording sessions were so lively and realistic, and the two timelines overlapping was so unique and such an interesting way of storytelling. I can literally talk about this film for hours. I went into this knowing like absolute surface level stuff about Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys and only knowing their biggest hits, so this film was really such an amazing surprise. Please go watch it if you haven't yet because it's so good and so so worth it!
I'm thinking of doing a musician biopic ranking soon once I watch some more! If you all have any biopic recommendations of any musicians, please let me know so I can watch them!
