your influences

Cantankerous · 03.04.2008, 02:40 AM

on your art, music, whatever. on your creativity.

halloween, animals, beautiful unusual colours, SPACE, childhood, impending death, glamour, women, banalities of life
i'm not influenced by other artists or musicians. i do what i want to do.

how about YOU mr. magoo?

Color, Los Angeles, people, socialites, death, depression, pop culture. This is what I can think right now.

atsonicpark · 03.04.2008, 02:45 AM

- the films of Shinya Tsukamoto and Alexandro Jodorowsky plus the films Begotten and Pinnochio 964.
- the writings of William S. Burroughs and J.G. Ballard.
- the music of Don Van Vliet and Sun City Girls.
- the art of Giorgio de Chirico.
- codeine.

That's about it.

Rape & murder

!@#$%! · 03.04.2008, 02:53 AM

ok so

many many books

greek mythology

science

sex

gluttony

the potent effects of music on mood (i don't make music. but music is often playing in my head)

pain

those who question bravely

memory & time. but i haven't read proust.

an oversensitive nervous system that amplifies sensations to the point of nausea.

delicious smells

the sea! the sea! the smell of the sea.

all manner of traumas

beautiful women

desire of the kind that gives you a lump in your throat or a weird thing in the solar plexus

good poets

good writers

light-- the kind you catch in mid-air, dust suspended in errant sunbeams

vision, in general

the impossibility of ideals

yes, this one, the last one, is maybe the strongest of all.

My attempt to understand any given medium for myself.

Noise, I forgot to add that. Not noise like wolf eyes or somewhere in that realm. But just regular noise.

screamingskull · 03.04.2008, 04:45 AM

Gus Van Sant, freedom, the idea of Portland Oregon in my head, everything Doughlas Coupland/Daniel Clowes/Adrian Tomine have ever written, people at my school/college/university, the massive park in my town, the 70's house i grew up in, the generation X and their legacy, music videos made by bands that i like.

ZEROpumpkins · 03.04.2008, 04:59 AM

My Childhood (which i'm extremely fond of, for some reason)
Females
My trip to Canada and the US when I was younger (I absolutely loved Canada)
Then musically I have a whole range, but at the moment it'd be like Boards of Canada, Slint, Pavement and Flaming Lips.

Death & the Maiden · 03.04.2008, 05:17 AM

Musically - Sonic Youth, Television, The Smiths, The Verlaines, Haunted Henschel.
Artistically - No one really, I haven't seen many works in the same medium as mine (lino print).
Others - My current life (obsession, quietness, loneliness (not that I'm lonely, I just don't have many friends)).

I'd post a photo of my house here if I had one to hand.

Oh come on, of course you are. If you raised in a small room with no communication with the outside world until now and then thrown into a field with a musical instrument, and paint set, and a camera, you wouldn't just be doing the same thing you do now. What you want to do are based on the things you like, be it music or art or whatever, and those things you like are your influences. That doesn't mean you straight up copy them, but all of those things have influenced you, whether you realize it or not.

batreleaser · 03.04.2008, 09:10 AM

music (punk, free jazz, hip hop, electronic, whatever), sex, memories, dreams (mine are always vivid), skateboarding, drugs (alcohol, acid, prescription painkillers), charles bukowski, basquiat, lester bangs, john peel, nick cave, lydia lunch, hardcore porn, jesus i duno, i def didnt wana mention any bands cuz id prolly end up writing thousands.
