Over the last year, Goatsilk (www.goatsilk.com) has been collaborating with Paul Crik to produce a new motivational and life skills program called “Killin’ It.” “Killin’ It” is a lifestyle approach for the 21st century. It’s a philosophy of living that transcends theory, eschews dogma, and avoids cliche.
To join the growing group of people that are already “Killin’ it,” Check in to watch Paul’s daily video posts, rss his blog so you can read and discuss his unique advice, and link to his lively twitter feeds. Send Paul an e-mail with your own questions and stories about “Killin’ It” in your own life…and create an account to upload your own “Killin’ It” videos. visit:
Wow. The images combined with the music in this video make it weirdly emotionally charged, and give it some unique artistic flare. Check it out…if bone-breaking ski jump falls don’t make you too queezy.
This is a strange little article on what people will do to get some free gas these days, given the outrageous prices. It reminds once again of the desperation, humiliation, and even savagery that people will sometimes go to for as little as $100 in gas. Let’s hope the days of Thunderdome are still far off!
For anyone unfamiliar with the PORTRAIT’S FROM AN ARK project, here’s a brief synopsis. When it has appeared in galleries, the videos are activated by voice request activation.
The 55 participants in Goatsilk’s PORTRAITS FROM AN ARK project sat down without knowing what animal they’d be painted to look like. When they were told midway through the filming, they enacted the creature using only facial expressions and minor hand gestures. Each video is set to music that we wrote to bring out the particular spirit of the painted animal, and digital effects are added at the end of each video to define the animal even further.
If you haven’t guessed yet, Goatsilk loves Butte, MT. and wants to live there someday, to be fully submerged in Butte’s beauty. One remarkable thing about Butte is how photogenic it is. Photogenic-ness is a bit of a mystery, isn’t it? Why do some people always look good in pictures, and others always look busted? When someone is photogenic we have to wonder whether or not the camera captures some attractive energy which is beyond what the naked eye can see. Butte is like this. It’s hard to take a bad picture in Butte, whether you’re in the hills of nearly abandoned Walkerville, the historic district, or the commercial strip. The surrounding mountains and ruins and old mining infrastructure add poetry to nearly every shot/angle. Here is another set of photos from beloved Butte.
