I’m working on casting the character of Growthy, the foulmouthed ex-con melted to the loveable Doubleday, ( https://smorning.wordpress.com/all-in-the-family/ , second and third down, respectively)

We’re talking to a lot of comedians and artists, from the Mentors ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddSyxhjTYiI )

Who is a really talented actor who appeared on several great movies and shows like “The Bold and the Beautiful” and “The Young and the Restless” and now, possibly, “The Drunk and the Narcissistic”, that is to say, Growthy on Living Evil.

Here I Go. Again.

I peeped out WikiLeaks today, ts a very odd, enlightening website. I dont have a one way opinion of it yet, but as it is, I think its important for people to be informed, take from it what you will.

I sent off a few interviews to my friends DAVE DICTOR at our favorite hardcore punk band MDC ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MDC_(band) )

We will be discussing punk rock, leftist extremism, the Mentors, and the point of music in the revolution of knowledge, as well as other things!

—————————————————————-

 I also sent one off to my friend Keith McHenry, anti-war activist and founder of Food Not Bombs ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_Not_Bombs )

Were gonna discuss the role of art in politics, the role of politics in change, and the role of change in the governments’ pockets.

On and On and On

 

I’ve been rather busy this week, being productive and whatnot.

I came into a new flash drive to replace the old one, which had a bunch of random pictures on it that you can expect to see on new Sunday Morning releases.

——————————————————————————-

I’ve been doing pictures for people on Facebook;

http://www.facebook.com/#!/profile.php?id=653349326&sk=info

Making mashups for the soundtrack (Which i will be uploading for your listening and free downloading pleasure, via any of the website’s best file holders, which i will then plug for you, here or in the taskbar.

————————————————-

They will also be on YouTube, and linked courtesy of the videos and edia section to your upper right hand corner;

——————————————————————————

as well as making the newest teaser trailer for Living Evil;

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nrk9HXSD294

——————————————————————————

Also, I wrote down at least 100 ideas with my co-producer Ryan (Pete Sexoffender)  for the show, and I will have pictures of our doodles available for viewing and downloading on here.

———————————————————————

We have organized and linked and archived the almost ENTIRE soundtrack and we will have the list of available non-US youtube links and myspaces for the songs available, all current facebook/website data for the groups can be found, as per the usual, at

Lost.

Over the last week, me and Ryan had a really great staircase brainstorming session on the subject of Growthy and Sundial as Characters, and we suffered what COULD have been a tremendous setback had I not had the forethought to backup the Living Evil pictures, vocieovers, music and script! An unnamed person lost my flash drive, and I had to transfer the softwares etc., onto my backup drive, which I am currently doing.

——————————————————————

I dont know how often I have pointed out my favorite artists on here, but I am researching the artists whom I admire the most. I love all art to some degree, but my favoritess are below; With each person I have included one of their works which I enjoy.

RENE MAGRITTE — DECEASED — SURREALISM

Painting Pictured; Golconda.

SALVADOR DALI — IMMORTAL — SURREALISM.

Shirley Temple, The Youngest, Most Sacred Monster of the Cinema in Her Time

KEITH HARING — DECEASED — POP ART

FERTILITY NO. 5

FRANCISCO GOYA — DECEASED — OLD MASTER

Saturn Devours His Son

HO BARON — ALIVE — SURREAL SCULPTURE

Endangered Species, Bronze statue

And of course, my hero and unending muse, Andy Warhol, tragically deceased, father of pop art.

Green car Crash.

But the next artist is someone whom I have mentioned before on here, and he has become as much a mentor to me as an  inspiration, as well as collaborating with me on Living Evil. He is an Argentine painter, and he is really keeping the mental ideas of Surrealism alive and non-dated in his work.

RUBEN CUKIER — ALIVE — SURREALISM, Bio-construction.

Bioconstruction.

— keep it surreal.

Inspiration Don’t Come Cheap!

I would love to put in on making a manual on how to write, find your imagination, arrange the creative process and fish for thoughts, but it’s a chore left for each person, and an article best saved for an arts journal in the future.

I will, however, relinquish the music I personally listened to during the writing of the pilot episode of Living Evil.

The Melvins — Houdini —

The Melvins are one of my favorite bands, especially speaking about heavier bands. They rank up there with any of them, and they have continually put out ridiculous, pointless, amazing songs since a decade before I was born. I believe it all comes together in ‘Houdini’, which reasons the experimental qualities of the Butthole Surfers (Another favorite) with straightforward metal, all with a metallic crunch that would make Steve Albini climax. Fucking awesome record.

Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band — Trout Mask Replica ——-

This is not pandering to Mark Boston, who too his time out to record lines for the show. This isn’t a heartfelt tribute to the recently deceased genius Don Van Vliet (The eponymous Beefheart).

This is me stating that, for about a year now, any time I need to feel my mind working, any time I need to dissect the mental ramblings of my all-too-often cluttered mind, I go to Trout Mask Replica.

This is an archaic, experimental, and outwardly strange audio tape that any schizophrenic will tell you is five of the greatest rock records of all time, played at the same time, and sent to pressing.

TOOL — Lateralus ——-

This is, without a doubt, the meaning of an aural portrait, a mental mural that only happens when you hear this album with your eyes closed.

That is Tool’s specialty, and it is honed to perfection on 2001’s Lateralus. With the experimental qualities not usually typified by an often repetitive and idiosyncratic metal community. Its good to find the unique, and Tool is that. Tool is great at opening your consciousness in a way similiar to the feeling of listening to Indian or Pakistani music. Airy, free feelings are really easy to come by in Tool.

Progress — I talked to James Destri, keyboard player of Blondie ( http://www.jimmydestri.com/ ), and also

 Jason Bittner of Shadows Fall ( http://shadowsfall.com/main/ )( http://www.jasonbittner.com/ )

about appearing on a few songs to appear on Living Evil, as well as Kenny Withrow of Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians, who was interested by my interest in Beefheart, and decided to chat with me about the possiblity of appearing on the cartoon! ( http://www.newbohemians.com/ )

TRIVIA: If you’re a fan of the band the New Bohemians, you probably know this, but Edie is married to Paul Simon, who moonlights as a singer, while always falling back to his best gig, as God.

My call to Al Franken’s office

I made some business calls today, business as usual, just business, surrealism is my business and business is good. :)

I called to four different Al Franken senate offices, hoping to locate our liberal extraordinaire, whose book “Lies…” I just purchased secondhand a few days ago and am about to finish. I called the first, who told me I should message the media section of the Franken website. That is no help, so I called two others and left a message with the first, not even opting at the next. after two more entirely apathetic calls, I struck up a conversation with a gentleman named… well, fuck what his name was, I have it written down somewhere. He seemed rather genuine, and fielded my pointed questions with grace. So, in the nature of both comedy, and surrealism, I asked him to be on my cartoon.

We’ll see how that unfolds.

I also called Tom Laughlin, best known as Native American strong arm BILLY JACK!!!!!!!

Another thing, in closing, after that silly banter — people ask me if my days are really as slow as I make them out to be in some of these posts. The answer is no, I usually make about 35 to 50 business-related phone calls per day, plus 60-80 web searches, and about 40 emails per day. I am a busy man because I love what I do. Thank you, America. – Tom, aka Yanni Osmond, so-owner, Sunday Morning Animation
