Cavy Fire Studios Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 I dunno if this is in the right section (lol), but I got such a huge blast from the past today and I wanted to share! I've always been a huge fantasy and SNES video game geek. I found my old MORTAL KOMBAT soundtrack--NOT the movie one, but the Immortals one! Man, that cheeseball cd got played half to heck when I was fourteen, and when I played it again today (for the first time in TWENTY YEARS), I remembered how consumed with passion I was about my art. I chewed through sketchbooks like bags of Doritos, drawing video game and fantasy characters with an obsession that bordered on OCD. I made up my own characters, too, and wrote stories about them. I was never the popular kid in school, so art was totally my escape from that lame-o reality. As I listened to that ridiculous techno music bump through my speakers, I started seeing things in my head again--pieces of art that really screamed with energy and fun. I saw wonky pots with ninja guinea pigs and twisting Eastern dragons. I saw rabbits doing acrobatics in midair, twisting through the tails of a kitsune--on a platter. I can't remember the last time my imagination went so wild!! It was like that silly music transported me back to a time where I had no pain, no grown-up stress, and all I cared about was my art--just making it, not selling it. Anyone else ever have a moment like that? Man, I wanna draw! ....and for the record: "MORTAL KOMBAT!!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denice Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Yea, I just reply to another forum topic how my old hippie pottery is inspiring me to make some more. Denice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavy Fire Studios Posted May 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Nah, GEP, it's fine. I never do pre-orders anyway, because I work so slowly! RoGryphon, I'll totally let you know if one comes out of my kiln, buuuut I'll prolly forget to make it. My rodent brain kinda shorts out when preorders are mentioned, haha!

Dale pots Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 Yeah I can picture my high school ceramics class if I hear a Joni Mitchell song. I hope she gets back on her feet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rae Reich Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 Yes, Guinea! When looking at my old sketchbooks and see ideas never got to, that I still want to develop. I don't look there often, though. Pretty sure there never will be enough time for ALL those great ideas 'cause I keep getting new ones! I hope ninja guinea pig pots stick in your head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denice Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 I forgot about the music in art class, I remember my teacher playing the White album over and over. My husband restores old muscle cars and I feel like a teenager every time we take a drive in one of them. Aren't memories great. Denice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJR Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 Yeah I can picture my high school ceramics class if I hear a Joni Mitchell song. I hope she gets back on her feet! What? She fell off her feet? She has a big mansion in L.A. Is also an amazing painter. TJR. Still smokes,though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babs Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Thought she was on Vancouver Island and retreating madly from the public eye.. I suppose you could do that in a large mansion in LA to, but I'd prefer VI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celia UK Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 These days I tend to listen to Radio 4 while in the studio, (and when driving and most other things) - rarely any music there. However, I sitll experience the phenomenon of looking at a piece I've made at a later date and having the memory of what I was listening to at the time of maiming it, come flooding back! Definitely something going on the brain there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callie Beller Diesel Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Joni has been in and out of LA hospital the last few months, and she had an anyurism two days ago. She's ok, and being moved to a rehab facility. Fingers crossed! Music and scent both are powerful memory triggers. Check your reaction the next time you open a fresh bag of clay.

CroneRanger Posted June 13, 2015 Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 I was a performance major on flute in college. It was very traumatic, it flayed my youthful psyche, bleck!! However classical music with pure lovely pitch centers me better than anything. If I am having a hard time I put on some Canadian Brass because they are the best. Perfect lovely pitch. If you love something a whole lot for heaven's sake DO NOT MAJOR in it. I discovered pottery when I was home ALL the time after having my first born and my hub insisted I do something to get out of the house. Pottery clicked and no one got to judge me.

Cavy Fire Studios Posted June 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 I hear you, CR. Same thing happened to me as a classical voice major. Soooo not going there!! I still warble around the house every now and then, though. I admit I really miss the choirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldlady Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 was in mixed choir for 3 years in high school and girls choir for the year i had a scheduling conflict. still hear in my mind the beautiful 4 part Ave Maria which we girls sang inside a church with wonderful acoustics. people would cry and even today, 57 years after graduation, i tear up thinking of it. wish i even knew the composer's name, maybe someone has recorded it.
