How to be Ultra Spiritual – Funny Parody with JP Sears (Video)

Ever wanted to be ultra spiritual? Well, look no further than JP Sears parody video that hilariously captures the essence of what it means to be spiritual today.

Perhaps it is our ability to laugh at ourselves and not take ourselves too seriously is what increases our spiritual growth.

JP Sears is an inner coach who strives to empower people to live more meaningful lives as whole individuals by guiding them to move beyond their symptoms of pain and sabotage.

Regardless of his mission statement, JP absolutely kills it in this video. It’s a well produced timely piece that is hilariously accurate.

OG Edit

Yo, if you’re wondering why Andy Gibb’s “Shadow Dancing” track is chilling on this page, let me fill you in.

All the videos are amazing but I find that this track playing in the background while watching the “OG Edit” video is straight money. So mute that sucker and hop on this track while Nyjah Huston shadow dances all over the scene.

Taking The Piss With Banksy by Zenpencils (Comic Strip)

This comic brings life to the voice of street art and pays tribute to the inspirational work of Banksy.

Taking The Piss with Banksy

Banksy is an anoynomous English street artist and activist who has become a cult hero for his anti-establishment and rebellious artwork.

Unlike someone I know, who stays in his house all day drawing comics and watching Simpsons reruns, Banksy is a REAL artist who challenges the status quo, forces people to think and puts himself in danger, all while remaining a complete mystery to the world.

I mean think about it, he’s one of the most famous artists on the planet, his work has been popping up in major cities for the past 10 years and sell for millions of dollars and no one knows who the hell this guy is! I take my hat off to the dude. – Gavin Aung Than, Zen Pencils

“What inspires you?”
I fucking hate that question.

I’m inspired by Jim Henson. By Rod Serling. By Tim Burton. By Terry Gilliam.

I’m inspired by Scooby Doo and the notion that a cartoon about a teenage LSD addict who thinks his dog can talk and that everyone he meets is a silly monster can actually get made into an iconic television show for kids.

I’m inspired by new kids shows like Adventure Time, Yo Gabba Gabba, and The Aquabats for helping adults remember that its ok to act like a kid. I’m inspired by imagination.

I’ve recently been inspired by “Cabin In The Woods”, and by “Ready Player One”, and by anything that I see, read or hear that makes me run home and want to add more elements to someone else’s world in hopes of holding on to that experience by selfishly expanding it.

By horror movies from the 80’s and the creation of boogeymen and how one person can inject nightmares into someone for their whole life just by putting sharp teeth on a clown or finger-knives on a burn-victim.

I’m inspired by David Choe and by his book “SLOW JAMS”, which I read in 1999 and have since never read a graphic novel as personal and honest.

I’m inspired by other artists like Sam Kieth, Jhonen Vasquez, Trey Parker & Matt Stone, Harmony Korine & Jim Phillips, for pushing the boundaries before me because it continues to encourage me that I don’t have to conform to expectations.

Inspired by my Dad for letting me sneak down and watch Poltergeist at my sister’s slumber party, for suggesting Stephen King novels to me when I was 12, and for introducing me to The Watchmen, Hard Boiled and The Killing Joke when I was 14.

I’m inspired when I stumble across something that catches me off guard and opens my eyes to new possibilities. At 6 it was my parents. At 14 it was Robocop. At 15 it was The Maxx. At 16 it was Street Fighter. At 17 it was graffiti. At 20 it was the discovering of zines and self-publishing.

Sincerely yours,
Alex Pardee & the Breakfast Club.

Surreal Pop Culture Paintings, Dave Macdowell Art Gallery

Dave MacDowell’s art melds satire with an unapologetic wit.

The style of MacDowell’s work pairs surreal visuals with deliberately recognizable pop culture references to transform the known into a hilarious commentary on society.

Disney Brainwash

The Last Friday

Pryor on Fire

AM: And you are entirely self taught. What methods did you use to educate yourself in the art of making a good painting? You seem to have a wonderful, and quite individual, grasp on color theory…

DM: Downloading color wheels from the Internet, and struggling with the illusion that I was doing it right. As a career decision from the start, I decided to always use a small script brush to make the work super detailed, and to keep the themes varied and entertaining. – Dave Macdowell, Arrested Motion

Seven in the Box

Saving the Princess

Bad Motha Eraserhead

AM: Some of the great lowbrow painters such as Robt Williams and Todd Schorr must be a huge inspiration to you. Where else do your significant inspirations lie?

DM: I need to tell stories and express what I feel. I always figured that if everything was painted really well, you could say whatever you wanted. I think hidden behind a lot of my candy colored pieces are revolutionary slants leaning toward the misfits and underdogs. Subtle jabs at Classism, racism, greed and commodified sexuality. It’s all in there, but never in your face. – Dave Macdowell, Arrested Motion

Hendrix in Wonderland

Something Wicked This Way Comes

Imagine

Alice in Limbo

The Dude Abides

The Dude

When Yoko Ate Ringo

AM: You had a dalliance with Banksy and also the planned Banksy Unveiling show in the UK not too long back. How did that come about and what happened?

DM: Banksy wrote and said he was a fan of my stuff years ago on Myspace {Remember Myspace anyone?}. My friend in London curated a show with the pitch of revealing the guy. Of course they never did, it was all cheeky fun. Banksy and those guys are all tight anyway, so their Broken Britain madness continues. – Dave Macdowell, Arrested Motion

Venom: Truth in Journalism, Comic Book Short Film (Video)

This short film features Marvel’s Venom (Eddie Brock) as a New York City crime journalist. The story is shot in the same style as Dog Bites Man (which follows a horrifying day in the life of a psychopathic serial killer).

Starring Ryan Kwanten
Written & Directed by Joe Lynch
Produced by Adi Shankar & Sam Balcomb

Collider: How did this new short come together? Who came up with the idea?

Producer Adi Shankar: You take Man Bites Dog and mash it up with a well-known anti-hero. It’s a concept where you take a character that’s inherently over the top and you drop him in an overly realistic grounded reality and have everyone around him scratching their heads as to why this individual is behaving like a cartoon character.

Collider: Talk a bit about the philosophy behind making these shorts.

Producer Adi Shankar: I don’t subscribe to the school of thought that as a feature film producer I shouldn’t dabble in television, web content, or even comic books … that thinking perpetuates the consumerist mosh pit we are now desperately trying to dig ourselves out of. I have a burning desire to entertain and different mediums allow me to do this in different ways.

These shorts are as much a part of my filmography as the movies are, I care about Dirty Laundry (Punisher Short Film) as much as I care about my upcoming movie The Voices. Kevin Smith called me last week after Comic-Con and encouraged me to make more of these. He told me that the vast majority of the people you’ll deal with in Hollywood won’t care about these shorts because they can’t make a buck off it. It doesn’t matter. It’s not for them it’s for the fans. – Producer Adi Shankar Talks about Truth in Journalism Short
