Does Size Matter?

I have been debating this for a while now. I feel that the smaller ones are easier to grip in your hand and move back an forth, however, the bigger ones seem more satisfying to mate with. At the end of the day though, as long as I win I don't think it really matters what size the chess pieces are. How about you, fellow chess players? Do you have a preference for size?

Art 2: Ship

Date: 2004
Medium: pencil crayons
Size: 8.25 x 5

I like this one...possibly because I like pictures of ships. Not the ships themselves, mind you, just pictures of them. I copied this from a pic I got of the Internet. The only thing I changed was the flag from whichever boring country it was to a pirates' flag.

Song 1: Julie doesn't know.

Julie doesn't know.
(To the tune of Scotty Doesn't Know.)

In memory of Gaius Julius Cæsar.

Hey!!!

Julie doesn’t know that Brutus and co
Conspire against him every Sunday.
Say they’re in bath houses,
But they just don’t go,
Still they’re out plotting and…

Julie doesn’t know, oh,
Julie doesn't know-oh.
So don't tell Julie,
Julie doesn't know,
Julie doesn't know.
SO DON'T TELL JULIE!

They say they’re in the forum, shopping,
But they’re scheming hard and they’re not stopping.

Cause Julie doesn’t know,
Julie doesn't know,
Julie doesn't know,
Julie doesn't know,
So don't tell Julie,
Julie doesn't knooooow...
DON'T TELL JULIE!

I can’t believe he’s so trusting,
Their daggers they’ll pull out, thrusting.
Killing him while he’s alone,
Stifling out any last moan,
It’s a mutiny and he knows nothing,
NOTHING!

Julie doesn't know,
Julie doesn't know,
Julie doesn't know,
Don't tell Julie,
Cause Julie doesn't know,
Julie doesn't knooooow...
SO DON'T TELL JULIE!

‘Twill be a bloody show,
The senators stoop low,
Julie doesn't know,
Julie doesn't know,
Julie doesn't know….

The, portico, why not?
Never even reached the top…
The theatre, what a blow,
Stabbing so hard, oh
Julie doesn't know,
Julie doesn't know!

Betrayed on the Ides of March.

Julie doesn't know,
Julie doesn't know,
Julie doesn't know,
Julie doesn't know,
Don't tell Julie.
Julie doesn't knooooow....

Julie will know,
Julie has to know,
Julie's gotta know,
Gonna tell Julie,
Gonna tell him myself.

Julie has to know,
Julie has to know,
Julie has to,
Julie has to,
Julie has to go!

Julie doesn't know,
(Don't tell Julie)
Julie doesn't know,
(Don't tell Julie)
Julie doesn't know...
Julie's gotta go!

Art 1: Budgie

Date: January 2003

Medium: Pencil

Size ~ 12 x 18

Found some old drawings of mine and realized that I wasn't completely terrible so I decided to try my hand at drawing people. Bought a "how to" book yesterday. We'll see how that goes...

I'll be posting some more of my art later. Some of it good, some of it bad, some of it I-wish-I-could-spork-my-own-eyes-out terrible.
