Blog Entry May 25,2013 buncha random ish'
It's 4 am here in the studio and I'm wide awake listening to some 80's tracks and painting.. Being born in '76 I grew up hearing a lot of these songs that where just imbedded in my DNA. Either just from being glued to MTV/VH1 ( I think was channel 24 and 25 for us with TV's that had a rotary channel dial, imagine that) at home or it coulda' been the T.V. that hung from the ceiling at the Kings Mall laundry mat where we would do laundry on the weekends ( me and mom dukes). So whether I consciously enjoyed them or not, they where played over and over... now when they come on somewhere it's become nostalgic for me... Then I remembered there was some pretty inspirational videos back then also, so it got me digging around youtube. Check out these videos in the 80's that definitely got my mind thinking as a young kid wanting to create.... All this stuff reminds me of Garbage Pail Kids, He-Man, Transformers and all the cool shit I liked growing up.....
This one was incredible to me at the time, I was absolutely lost as to how this was possible.
this was great also, early computer animation...
Peter Gabriel without question had some of the most artistically created videos... very visual as a kid..
another great Peter Gabriel..
this one is very reminiscent of the later video from Bjork, Human behavor.... maybe same people?
