Art Review: Eldritch

This comic is my new obsession: the art and story look really interesting. Basically it's about a kid full of demons fighting with his sister. It's creepy.

This is a light photo I manipulated to look like eyeshadow.

I think grue and bleen is similar to the doublethink concept of 1984. Like, 2+2=5, green is now blue/ blue is now green. Other theory: A color theory concept where the eye optically mixes blue and green to create different colors.

Art Topic: Video Game Art Influence

Video games have created a need for action based art. There's more violence. There is also more sequential story-telling aspects.

Art Review: Rob Zombie

I just started listenting to Rob Zombie and I think "What?" and "Mars Needs Women" are my two new favorite songs. I really like to electric-sound and the reference to old time B-movie subjects. The songs are really similar to songs from Repo! The Genetic Opera. If anyone knows any similar artists let me know.

Art Topic: What if there were no art?

I'd imagine the world would be less colorful, and it would be harder to communicate since everything would be in writing or numbers.

Art Topic: Art in Music

These are some example of the multitude of art pieces in the Billy Talent cd pamplets. You can buy the actual cd or recieve the artwork through the digital booklet that comes with some album downloads. the art alone is worth the money. Many pieces correspond to individual saongs on the albums and they are incredibly detail AMAZING surrealist images. They are done by Ian D'sa.

Art Topic: Should "Tradional Art" Be Replaced by "Digital Art" Medias?

No. Tradional art provides a technical basis for digtal artists. Plus, in the event of a power surge or a computer explosion, an artist who can't draw on a piece of paper will be really bored and jobless.

Art Review: Frank Zappa

I watched a documentary on Frank Zappa and his creative process on Youtube. I was really surprised at the complexity of his methods and influences. For a guy who writes songs about yellow snow and green slime, he's pretty inspirational.

Watch and learn.

Art Review: The Money Pit

Greatest, house-destroying, slapstick, dry wit, potentially dangerous, comedic action romantic comedy film ever! It also has traces of underage marriage and a whole lotta Tom Hanks.

Art Review: The Wasp Factory

Frank Cauldhame is sixteen. He went through a serial killer stage. But it's okay, he's normal now....sort of. This is the first novel of Iian Banks. If you are ready for one of the most disturbing narrator's since Humbert Humbert, then this is for you.

Art Review: Johannes Cabal the Necromancer

Bring on the SARCASM! The faustian nonsense and intelligenista vocabulary runs rampant in this novel by Jonathan L. Howard. SEE!: An social adept vampire, a non to socially adept German rationalist, a Wembly .557, and DEAD! LOTS OF WALKING DEAD! (....I like Caps Lock).

Art Review: Creature Feature

MUSIC OF CREEPY AWSOMENESS!
It's like Halloween, scary carnivals, and Tim Burton met techno. Not only do these guys weird haircuts: THEY SING ABOUT ALIENS!...and graverobbers, and haunted houses, and Edward Gorey.

Listen to them.
They rock.
