October, 1990. Terence McKenna live in Southern California. A fresh talk emphasizing the challenge of artistic creation. If we take seriously the shamanic model as a basis for our authentic art, then in the modern context what we see missing from the repertoire of the artist are shamanic techniques. Terence was brought here for the discussion of these shamanic techniques. "The break between abstract expressionism and what preceeded it was the most radical break in American art in this century. Abstract expressionism actually carried us into a confrontation with what the quantum physicists were telling us, that the universe is field upon field of integrated vibration, that there is no top level, there is no bottom level, that the ordinary strucrures of provisional space-time are simply...

Robert Mitchum hosts this portrait of one of Hollywood's most colorful and eccentric directors, John Huston: former amateur boxing champion, honorary member of the Mexican cavalry, writer, and Hollywood's most inconsistent Great (with a capital G) director. Through film clips, interviews with former collaborators, ex-wives, and children, and rare on-set, behind-the-scenes, and home-movie footage, we follow Huston from his legendary directorial debut The Maltese Falcon through his final film, the delicate and devastating The Dead. Paul Newman calls him "an eccentric's eccentric," and there's no doubt Huston was a character, a scrappy, hard drinking figure of Hemingway-esque proportions who gambled and hunted (for decades he was the "master of the hunt" on his Irish estate) with the same...

I believe in art as the healing source of humanity; expressing all that lies untouched within the human soul, in a productive and positive manner, inspires others to do the same, in a drug-free way. Many times, wars between few or many men occur when communication is distraught and understanding becomes hazy. Many people want to express themselves, but sometimes they don't have the means or the drive. If you have ever wanted to create but feel stifled, this film is for you. - Mikhail Tank (www.SirTank.com)T his product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media.

According to Helen Van Wyk, the number three is fundamental to many of the arts. In music, for example, many compositions are made up of three movements; in drama the number of acts written by playwrights is usually three. It is also so in painting, Helen says in this enlightening video. She goes on to demonstrate the 1-2-3's in her painting of white flowers, in which she shows the importance of placing the flowers on the canvas, how to cover the canvas completely, and finally how to add color and highlights. The second section is a Bermuda landscape in which Helen demonstrates how to paint with the three primary colors, plus black and white. The result is amazing. The final section discusses and demonstrates the three properties of color: hue, tone and intensity. Helen defines each... Less
