Aw, that's cute.

I can tell you know what you're talking about and therefore your criticism is well-taken. Wait a sec.

I see that Nocte Obducta in you playslist \m/

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

I love Nocte Obducta.

They have a sound that is their own.

That is so fucking awesome. If it weren't out in the middle of nowhere I'd totally travel there sometime.

Oh, and while looking around at Turkmenistan on Google maps I found out there's a town there called Kommunizm.

I remember someone posted a Dead Snow trailer awhile ago. I've been meaning to download it, and now I finally got to it.

Art is (most of the time) equally about the process by/through which the art is created than merely about the final work as a "piece of art."

See, it's taken me some time to come to grips with this reality. Being a student of literary art, "how" a work is created isn't usually of the utmost importance; the mental preparation and thought that goes into writing is paramount, but the actual methods by which a literary work is made is almost always the same.

Visual art is much more interesting when it comes to the "how." I have a friend who's studying film and he's really opened my eyes to some of the methods of his craft, and he's done some really awesome stuff (using the actual film itself even in some of his art).

That said, I need to recommend an author that I think both writers and painters/visual artists can enjoy. His name is Mark Danielewski, and his book House of Leaves is one of the most interesting contemporary novels I've ever read. It's a literary work at heart, but it deals with lots of aesthetics and methods of visual art (it's a book about a film). Also, it's one of the most terrifying books I've ever read.

House of Leaves

Gah, I know you recommended that to me once before, and it sounded interesting. I really need to pick that up.

House of Leaves is one of the most overblown pretentious things I've ever read, and it still totally rules. And yeah, it is genuinely chilling.
