Drawn with charcoal. I got cool drawing stuff from my art teacher after we finished one of our projects.
Andy's inspirational quotes (original by [link]) :
"Life isn't about how popular you are… What girl or boy you are dating or who you know. Life is about always being true to who you are or what you believe in. Never let anyone convince you that their way is better than your way. In the end all we have is our hearts.. and our minds. This is the reason we sing.. this is the reason we cry… this is why we live."
"We will be whatever they need us to be. Call us emo's, liars, and cheaters...tell people how awful we are and how little talent we have...do whatever it takes to make themselves feel better because at the end of the day, we are strong, we can take it. We don't need their approval to justify our lives. Each and every one of us has a fire that burns inside us and they can try like hell to put out that flame but as long as in our minds we know who we are meant to be, they don't stand a chance."
"Pages of revelation lie open in your empty eyes of blue"
"Creating art or something beautiful makes you a more fulfilled person than they can ever be because they're caught up in what they hate rather than what they love."
"It's important to remember though that when looking at these situations you have to be able to see the difficulty anyone faces in a breakup and how hard that experience is. No one wants to be alone, but sometimes in life, in order to be healthy..it is paramount to your happiness. I truly do appreciate all the love and support you have all given me over the years in every facet of my life"
"I had a goal, I had a dream…and at the end of the day no matter what people say to you as long as YOU know who you are as a person NOTHING in else in the world matters."
"Be who you want to be and not care about what others think."
"As we grow up, we learn that even the person that wasnt supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it gets harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much and love like youve never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is one minute of happiness you'll never get back."
"Sometimes in life you feel the weight of the world... it can push you down and make you fear it. it can cause stress and pain...but in those moments...remember all that you have done in your life...and what great things you can do in the future.. The feeling of burden may not subside, but the fire you carry in your heart will burn stronger than ever when you live through it. Never let anyone...or anything... steal your flame. i once though of calling our first record "alive and burning" after a song i wrote... i know now that was a silly notion...we aren't here to..."burn"...we are here on this earth to reach for all that we can get... to see the brass ring and strive for it...not via sardonic tendencies but rather through our own personal strength... to see our heroes and say to ourselves... i want to be better.. i want to be the best i can be. so please...if nothing else... continue to live as you are... and reach for all you can take... you are all beautiful people. Live it."
"Don't ever let anyone tell you that what you create isn't beautiful or in any way less valid. Fight the good fight BVB Army. Rebel. "
"Create your own reality...become your own rockstar, find your passion...and we will be here every step of the way with you."
"Rock n roll isn't meant to be taken so seriously, I think sometimes people forget it's meant to be fun. A rock show is meant to be a time for people to have fun and let go of the drudgeries of life...."
"Walk with me, talk with me...imagine there is nothing that can harm you in the world"
"Live your life, listen to your music way too loud, and be as crazy and as different as you want to be, and always remember you're not alone."
"I want every one to stick your middle fingers in the air, and say fuck you to the mother fuckers who judge you for being you"
"I had a goal, I had a dream, and at the end of the day no matter what people say to you, as long as you know who you are as a person nothing else in the world matters."
"When we talk to our audience about being yourself and being who you want to be, its not about being sad about it-its about shoving your middle finger in the air. We try to show people that you shouldn't be apologetic for being the way are or the way you want to be. You dont need to be depressed or 'emo' for being who you are. You should emphasise and celebrate your differences. If it weren't for peoples differences, the world would be boring as hell. . .or boring as heaven depending on the way you look at it. There are a lot of bands who seem happy to address youthful alienation by saying 'Yeah, you're sad, we're sad. lets wallow in it'. Thats not our stance on it all. Its the rock n' roll idea of having a good time, party, be yourself and fuck everyone else I think our fans know that what Black Veil Brides are saying is 'Hey, its alright to be weird or different'. IN THAT WAY, WE REPRESENT THE ULTIMATE OUTCASTS."
