Artist Clinton Jones


Dearest Reader,

I am featuring an artist today who specializes in animation. Actually, he is a Jack of all trades in 2D art. Let me tell you more about him.

Meet Clinton Jones (29)... (Yes, that's him on the right. He didn't give me a pic of himself, because I forgot to ask for it, so I just went on facebook and took it from there. I tried to find a quirky looking one. I hope you don't mind, buddy.)

His CV says that he has taught English in Korea to elementary school kids (poor souls! He probably warped the minds of those little ones...). I asked for a bio and he gave me a CV, so I must write the bio. SMH!

He has two years' experience teaching these little children and so we can all assume that he is literate if he can teach it. We went to High School together and he did his tertiary education at AFDA, graduating with a BA in Motion Picture Medium. With a clay-mation short-film and other animation short-films in his belt, he has made 4 short-films in total. (I will ask him to give me a YOUTube of one to post here)

So... Let us speak, admire and hopefully discuss his art.

Oh, one more thing about him...

He has worked for Super Striker (a newspaper comic strip) as something called a Compositor, and has done various storyboards too, and if you dig his work, drop a message here and I will connect you with him. Now, let us admire his art. I am not really going to delve into it. I like it, but I won't influence your thoughts on the pieces because art is very subjective.

 Okay, I have to say something... My favorite one is Lucy, the one with the girl. It is so passionate. The movement in it, that wind that seems unbridles and even violent says to me that there is an element about that perticular one that the others do not quite have. It is beautiful, and, hinestly, I would love to see a film about this Lucy. Quite beautiful and touching.

Oooh, the lemon tree is pretty good too. It is haunting and reminds me of Earth Spirits.

Okay, now I zip it.

I hope you enjoyed that eye candy.

Love, Peace and Power!

P.S. I hope to feature more friends on this blog, or have friends as Guest writers. All I ask is that it has everything to do with me, as does this particular post. You see, if he wasn't my friend, I wouldn't have spoken about his art, so do not worry. We shall still remain as self-involved as usual. LMAO!

Ciao.

Ugh! Bleh! Whatever!

Dearest Reader, The worst thing that I can ever experience is the realization of having hurt myself due to having a Pollyanna attitude. I am listening to Sia’s “Breathe Me”, as I write this, feeling as vulnerable as she is feeling in the song. This vulnerability and hurt is not caused by anyone but me. I am fully accountable for how I feel. I am not under any illusions that anyone is to blame for my scars, nicks and bruises. I did it. No one is to blame. And, what saddens me about this is: Why would I allow myself to hurt? Why would I choose to make my life anything but always happy? Is this a subconscious self-hatred manifesting? Do I like pain? Do I enjoy having tears come down my face instead of laughter and joy? I can’t tell that I am distressed anymore, that’s how distressed I am.  The only thing that is allowing me to know that all is not well are the symptoms of my anxiety. When I get to this point of stress, I make a conscious effort to disengage because nothing is

Victory!

Now, don’t let this image get your knickers in a knot! It’s not “demonic”… It is just one of the strongest archetypes of my personality. Pluto was God of the underworld and its riches. The name is the Latinized form of Greek Πλούτων (Ploutōn), another name by which Hades was known in Greek mythology, possibly from the Greek word for wealth, πλοῦτος (ploutos). “In your horoscope Pluto symbolizes death, rebirth, sex, evolution, degeneration and regeneration, and symbolizes the breakdown of psychological blocks that prevent evolutionary growth. It is the higher octave of Mars, where it represents the conscious self-knowledge and self-mastery of the magician and alchemist standing above brute force and physical prowess; and it is also the fabulous and elusive Phoenix bird. Pluto rules the sign Scorpio in which initially/exoterically it symbolizes mastery of the emotions through the use of the will, and finally/esoterically it represents transcendence through consciousness of the ego

I am the Phantom Menace Incarnate!

Dear Reader, I am a bad mofo! A menacing phantom. Meoow! *paw out* I came to the conclusion that I must have been one mean motherf*#$er to have pulled toward me such grueling life experiences. Karmically, I must have screwed a lot of people over. I must have been Hitler or something, or worse, one of those evil mofos whose names aren’t recorded in history because they were just too hardcore. I can see it now, I die and the Karma Council gathers in the astral world and looks at me with reproof and disappointment and says, “You were not incarnated on Earth to enslave the masses and cause carnage on the natives of the planet! Now look at you! All damaged because your power engulfed you instead of you controlling the power. So, on that note, you have to go back to Earth and undo the damage you did to yourself and to learn compassion.” I respond, “I understand. You are the Karma Council. I can’t argue with you but may I
