A Pointless Duality, 2003

  • Mood: Christmas Spirited
  • Listening to: The Mars Volta - Octahedron
For starters, I've purchased a new instrument which is quite different from those I'm used to playing. A "Jean Baptiste" Saxophone, which thanks to a major sale Sam Ash was having (Only on July 4th) I obtained it for a really good price:



One of the key differences between this instrument and say, a Bass, Guitar or Piano is the fact that it, pardon the pun, really DOES take the wind out of you, at least when you first start. After an hour or so of practicing, I was rather tired and out of breath.

This brings me to the major announcement, tomorrow (technically today) I'm going to devote the entire day working on a music project based upon 12 cards I found online which are completely terrifying, and due to the color used and the creatures portrayed, somehow resonated within me, reminding me of frightful landscapes that would occur in nightmares and disturbing thoughts during ages 5-9 or so.



For each image I desire to create a story told using music. Rather than using only the FL Studios program I have, I'll be utilizing my Bass, Vocals, Keyboard and Acoustic Guitar, many effects pedals, possibly even a note or two from my Saxophone. Then, I'll assemble everything in FL, adding various alterations, effects and instruments I don't have. My goal will be to create the majority of two songs.

In one of the illustrations, the phrase "Gruss Vom Krampus" appears, which, in German basically translates to "Greetings Of The Krampus" so saith AltaVista. I did a little research and was rather surprised that I'd never heard of this strange creature, especially since it came from Germany, (what with being part German myself.) It evolved from a Pagan creature whose roots I am not aware of (just started checking out information on this creature late tonight.) From what I understand, when Christianity became plentiful in Germany, the Krampus was a rather Demonic looking creature who would accompany Saint Nicolas (Santa Claus.) Where Saint Nick would be used as a positive incentive for children to be good, the Krampus would scare them from juvenile delinquency, utilizing the fear of being eaten by this friendly fellow, who apparently is a "snappy dresser" as can be seen from this less fearsome portrayal:




However, this picture (below) seems to sum up how he is more likely to be seen:


I know I'll never be able to enjoy Christmas the same knowing such an amazing custom has been lost in America.
Perhaps this upcoming distant Christmas will see the resurrection of The Krampus in New Jersey. I'd enjoy buying myself a Krampus costume as an early Christmas gift, then dressing up a few days before Christmas, running around my town scaring the shit out of everyone. If anyone has a problem with it, I'd simply point out that they're not being sympathetic to my Germanic Customs, which I'm using to culture my town, letting them know just how proud I am to be German, which would also show that you can be "German and Proud" and still enjoy the company of Jews and Blacks! What a better way than to spread the joy of Christmas cheer!? But I digress...

Anyhow, before I leave, I figure I'd show my adoring public a good example of the length my Goat Beard has grown to:



Much like the Snappy Dressing Krampus, I cherish my Beard, in addition to my cloths, tongue and the flesh of children.

I've recently had an interest in, what I call applicable mysticism. Finding hidden threads, reoccurring uncontrollable patterns that, when looked at closely, seem to be held by an invisible thread. Watching the progression of individual incidents that transform in a visible pattern, only noticeable when one steps away and looks at the similarities of major desires and important event. Hypothetically, it would seem possible to view the progression and similarities that these events are threaded together by, as a means to predict a logical outcome for the next state the patten manifest itself. Giving personal colors, explainable numerical significance, shapes and symbols can help you to get more intimate with these mysteries.

Utilizing old schools of esoteric thought, by placing them in a modern psychological paradigm, taking away the magickal aspect and leaving the bare bones of the philosophical structure, applying it to psychological concepts, is also an interest of mine. For instance, what I would consider emotional alchemy to be the practice of causing the emotion, or mood one is feeling, into a more productive, empowered or secure, emotional state, still maintaining the same intensity of the prior emotion. An easy one would be to allow anxiety to turn into anger, not always a good thing, but rather than being frighted and passive, one can now be forceful, aggressive and fearless.

Burning off anger by using humor is another good example, allowing a sort of loosely controlled spontaneity. However it would be best that you have a good sense of humor, or else those you're joking with will probably add to your frustration, hence more anger.
While it is interesting finding the original meaning of certain symbols, a symbol is best used when you can find a personal meaning for it, integrating said conceptual symbol into your thought process. Creating simple symbols to represent how you feel is quite an interesting manner of giving yourself an expressive outlet. Simple colors and shapes can convey profound meanings when ascribed personal feelings. You need not be an artist to make simple images which hold extreme relevance to your current situation, but those with an artistic mind will probably benefit most from this exercise.

Don't look so much for signs of Gods intervention, but always be aware of such occurrences. Following the Christian Bible we become aware that God is a personal God who cares for the well being of all, however he is also a very symbolic God, as can be seen in books such as Daniel, Ezekiel, Revelations and many other prophetic books. Therefore it is not far fetched to assume he will send you a sign that is personal to you, using personal symbolism to communicate his holy divinity, guiding us along our path, warning us from straying off the path and acknowledging our righteousness.

Thanks a bundle for the :+fav:!!! :boing:

if i could have a single wish, i'd only wish to never miss it when you wake up and smile.
Ok this is my first Art Jam, I want to see one on my # 1 hottie, Miss Mam'selle Hepzibah (from Pogo Special Birthday Special). If you don't know who she is I recommend watching this first before reading on:

[link]

I wanted to see if anybody is up to the challenge because lets face it deviantart has some of the best artists I've ever seen! And I just want to see anybody out her could do their take on this beauty.

RULES: Only one rule you must draw Miss Mam'selle Hepzibah from the link I showed you above not the Miss Mam'selle Hepzibah from the Walt Kelly comics.

Other than that I encourage any medium. I don't if you cross her over, cosplay, put her in a bikini, BE her, I take anything that involves her! I recommend that if you really want my attention try trying her as a real human, if you need help for a look - alike I did a video a couple of weeks showcasing her look - alikes that you can look at for reference:

DEADLINE is July the 4th!

See my journal for the links!
It wouldn't be hard for me to photoshop a realistic image of her nude, or in a rather risky setting, but my talent does not lie in traditional drawings, unless for satire or comedic purposes. Granted I wouldn't upload a photoshoped image of her on DA, I could link you to it via Imageshack or something.

I guess thar's fine. It sucks really maybe I'm not well known but when I put this "Art Jam" and send it to some artists that I know and love and they are all like " I don't do requests, etc." And that's irks me to no end. If I had my scanner hooked up and show off my own stuff and get things going. I tell you what if somebody requested a drawing from me I go and do it, at least Jose - Ramiro but he says he not doing it right now :( I thank you for not completely shunning me and if your not too busy I'd like to see a photoshop image on imageshack or whatever.
Most artists on here will only draw something for you if you pay them, not to say there is something wrong with that, one of the best things would be to be paid for artistic purposes.

But give me a few days, not to say it will take me a few days to photoshop the picture, just have a few other things to do, in no particular order, and starting during the weekdays, will be somewhat more busy. Granted I'll probably be done by Monday or Tuesday the latest.

To save time and trouble why don't you just email the picture to me, my email address is klljr@cox.net
Thank you for giving me the heads up, I kind of forget that most of these artists on here are for the dollar and not just a simple fan art website. I never really got into art for money but it was just something I really love doing since I was a kid and all.

I'll wait I'm not that big in a rush for it I want you do a nice job and everything. Again I thank you for even doing it all. :)
