KILLING IT.

KILLING IT...

by A Wilhelm Scream..

I was inspired at Cusp Conference by Adam Kalkin who played two versions of Teen Spirit by Nirvana. One was the original, and the other a 'Jazz Version'.. by a name who escapes me...

I thought I would have a go at 'Killing it' by A Wilhelm Scream. I was introduced to this band by my friend Bryan Anderson who blares it through his system when we are on the highway.. I haven't felt that 'alive' in ages.. I got used to the band.. And thought I would try my own version of it.

Enjoy..

btw it is quite a 'dark' video.. please dont be concerned.. It's October and a good time of year to allow ourselves to offload these deeper emotions and go a bit wild.. There are seasons for all emotions.. Just keep it in perspective - it's art. And I really enjoyed making this.. Thanks to all the extras who joined me today to help out.. They did a sterling job. To think that they are all over the world in one little virtual pub in the middle of nowhere...

This video is rated 18..and contains swearing.




Here is the band Wilhelm Scream performing 'Killing it' Live... reminds me of my teens hehe.

SKELETON WOMAN.


The sea and the sky by DAC Crowell


Forward: I am currently reading 'The Road Less Travelled' by M. Scott Peck, and 'women who run with the wolves' by Clarissa Pinkola Estes.. The books were recommended to me.. one by Kate who works for 'Adam F's label' 'Breakbeat Chaos'. When Kate mentioned the book, her eyes lit up, in a way that only a woman who wants to 'empower' another woman shines. I want to thank Kate for her recommendation because this book is really what I needed in my life right now. I was so inspired by the short story 'Skeleton Woman' that I decided to do a 'comic life' using bits of it. I also want to thank Dygyital who is a DJ in second life, who teleported over to me to play the role of the fisherman. It was very very funny asking him to do certain animations and he didn't have a clue what i was up to hehe.. So thanks Dyg - here it is. I would also quickly like to share a little bit of a chapter in 'The Road Less Travelled' about 'risk of loss'. Weirdly I opened this book up on this chapter today.

RISK OF LOSS (from 'The Road Less Travelled) page 140.

The act of love - extending oneself - as I have said, requires a moving out against the inertia of laziness (work) or the resistance engendered by fear (courage). Let us turn now from the works of love to the courage of love. When we extend ourselves, our self enters new and unfamililar territory, so to speak. Our self becomes a new and different self. We do things we are not accustomed to do. We change.
The experience of change, of unaccustomed activity, of being on unfamiliar ground, of doing things differently is frightening. It always was and always will be. People handle their fear of change in different ways, but the fear is inescapable of fear; it is the making of action in spite of fear, the moving out against the resistance engendered by fear into the unknown and into the future. On some level spiritual growth, and therefore love, always requires courage and involves risk. It is the risking of love that we will now consider.



On a Final note I just want to add that I always listen to DAC Crowell from MAGNATUNE when I do the comic lifes..
