Hi everyone, and Happy New Year!

2012 is gonna be awesome. I've already made a few new friends and hope to be working on a local project soon. The clay stuff is great, gotten going on cranking out some music as well. It's not the usual sound, but something a little less stompy than previous efforts.

I've thought about my New Years resolution- to let the work speak for itself. You really do need to do that, or there's no way to ever tell if it's any good or not. So, I'm going to keep the public commentary to a minimum this year and focus on making stuff.

*yawn*

Hope you all had a good New Year, I ate a lot of cookies and watched superhero movies. For some reason I've been getting into those lately- and Amazon's pay-per-stream quality isn't that bad. So far I've seen Defendor, Kick Ass, and Unbreakable. Still need to rent Scott Pilgrim VS The World and- hmmmmm, maybe that's it. The fact is, not one of these movies failed to entertain. The writing on all of them was good, the casting choices were excellent, and the storytelling is tight. I just think it's interesting that there aren't as many regular guy super heroes in the movies as there are characters who can shoot fire out of their eyes. There is something to a normal person donning a cape- the odds of him not surviving go up like a crazy and it feels all the more real and gritty.

By the way, I'm starting a new blog but will leave this one up for posterity. I just feel so inspired that this idea and approach needs its own name. If you would like to follow it, the new blog will soon be active at squishymation.blogspot.com

Hope to see you there!

  1. Happy new year Don!

    Also, I typed in Pram Maven on Google and all I saw was a bunch of douchebags trying to be funny and torment you, which obviously failed and at one point one of them tried to be smart lol, but it all failed as well. They have no right to say any of the stuff they said because they don't know who people are - they could be cops for all they know.

    Anyway, I hope you have a wonderful new year, and I hope you get famous with your music one day :).

  2. Thanks, MrSparkable. By the way, I have new music coming out- I'm giving it away, actually. Email me if you want and I'll send you a high quality version. The only condition is that I want you to spread the song all over the internet- make sure it's heard, like you did with At The Rave Inn. It shows a different side of me that needs to be seen more...The sensitive friend.

    By the way, the song I sent you (Statue) is not Pram Maven. It's a different project called Sunday Friend. Spread the word! First album from Sunday Friend is coming in the first half of 2012.
