Die Antwoord have done a lot of crazy shit in their time (and especially in their videos), but one thing we never expected was to see them make a short horror film with rock caricature Jack Black.
Everything else about Tommy Can’t Sleep, however, is vintage Die Antwoord, pushing the creepiness levels and shock factor to their maximum just as they’ve tried to do in many of their music videos.
Nothing else needs to be said, really. It’s Die Antwoord, Jack Black, a foul-mouthed kid, and just so, so many rats. Enjoy.
don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission.
be on the watch.
there are ways out.
there is light somewhere.
it may not be much light but
it beats the darkness.
be on the watch.
the gods will offer you chances.
know them.
take them.
you can’t beat death but
you can beat death in life, sometimes.
and the more often you learn to do it,
the more light there will be.
your life is your life.
know it while you have it.
you are marvelous
the gods wait to delight
in you.
Roll the Dice
if you’re going to try, go all the
way.
otherwise, don’t even start.
if you’re going to try, go all the
way.
this could mean losing girlfriends,
wives, relatives, jobs and
maybe your mind.
go all the way.
it could mean not eating for 3 or 4 days.
it could mean freezing on a
park bench.
it could mean jail,
it could mean derision,
mockery,
isolation.
isolation is the gift,
all the others are a test of your
endurance, of
how much you really want to
do it.
and you’ll do it
despite rejection and the worst odds
and it will be better than
anything else
you can imagine.
if you’re going to try,
go all the way.
there is no other feeling like
that.
you will be alone with the gods
and the nights will flame with
fire.
do it, do it, do it.
do it.
all the way
all the way.
you will ride life straight to
perfect laughter, its
the only good fight
there is.
Pittsburgh’da Tugboat Printshop adlı stüdyosunda çalışmalarını sürdüren Valerie Lueth’un detaylı ve çok renkli özgün baskı projesi Eve, ahşap kalıplarıyla dahi insanı kendine hayran bırakıyor.
Lueth’un sınırlı sayıda çoğaltılabilen baskı çalışması, farklı renklerde 4 ayrı kalıptan oluşan katmanlar aracılığıyla yaratılmış. Bu noktada ahşap baskı yöntemiyle çok renkli çalışma yapmanın oldukça zorlu bir süreç olduğunu, aynı kompozisyonu farklı detaylarla planlayıp tekrar tekrar kalıp üzerine oymak gerektiğini belirtmekte fayda var. Mavi kozmosda asılı duruyormuş izlenimi yaratan el formu; yeşil, siyah ve turuncu renklerle tamamlanmış çiçekli kompozisyonun temelini oluşturuyor.
