Yunyu: The Christmas Chain Saw Massacre

Posted on4 Comments

Hi all! Christmas is coming up, and I just finished inking chapter 1 of Small Shen. There’s still chapter 2 to go, so hopefully I’ll be able to finish that by the end of this month. No Christmas holidays for me, but that’s the way it’s always been when I’m working on a book. So I’m used to it.

This week I’m showing something I did for my musician friend Yunyu. She’s been re-writing Christmas songs to suit her darkly subversive world views, and along with Zombie Christmas, this year it’s Were-Santa. The song takes the hot-button issues of this year, specifically werewolves and misbehaving Wall Street CEOs, and mixes the two together to create… something you can troll people with at the upcoming Christmas parties. Hey, I consider this song a happy song. And ofcourse, I created some appropriate album art for it.

To get your FREE copy of the song Were-Santa, join Yunyu’s Mailing List and it will be sent to you!

You can also listen to the song and download it at SoundCloud.

Lyrics

It’s the crap-crappiest time of the year
My head’s jingle belling,
And hippies are telling me
“Be of good cheer”
It’s my most sorrowful time of the year

It’s the crap-crappiest season of all
When I become Santa,
and no I’m not mental
I just want a cure
from this crap-crappiest sickness of all

I was making a killing
In stock market trading
Cashing in on all the loopholes
I’m worse than Charles Ponzi
I took more than Madoff
But hey you’re not perfect yourself

It’s my most sorrowful time of the year
A were-santa he got me
he bit me that bastard
and now once a year
I’m transformed into this ponce with the bells

I’ll pay anything for a cure
for this sickness
and swap this for lycanthropy
And anything’s better than riding with sleigh bells
and giving my fortunes away.

It’s my most sorrowful time of the year
my pockets are echoing
my world is ending and
Don’t you dare cheer
It’s the most sorrowful time
It’s the most sorrowful time

It’s the most sorrowful time of the year

The Dreaming: Preview of Book 2!

Posted on

To Marcella: I have an email from Marcella, asking me to reply, but unfortunately I can’t because you didn’t give a valid email address. Anyway, I hope you get outta your troubles soon.

“The Dreaming” vol2 is coming out on the 7th November in stores, though for some reason it’s already available at Amazon.com. It also seems to be already out in some bookstores. I thought I’d jump in on the fun, and release the first chapter of book2 for a preview, both on my website at at my new DeviantArt account. Now, there’s no reason why a single person should have a personal website, a livejournal, and a DevArt account – how many things can I manage anyway – but I was convinced otherwise by a Canadian cosplayer at Supanova last weekend. It seems that DevArt is a good place to dump all the doodles I do that I don’t post up on my site or LJ.

 

A Real Interesting Music Clip: My musician friend Yunyu has done something amazing – she’s got a music video of one of her songs out that is filmed in a way that is quite unusual. Basically, it’s “Live Stop-Motion” – something that combines real film (and real people) with stop-motion techniques. The song is “Lenore’s Song”, and the video was basically made using over 16,000 still photographs, all done by getting the actors and Yunyu to move very slightly while shots are taken of them. And the final effect is interesting and unsettling – as you can see on this YouTube Video.

Anyway, this video has been chosen as a finalist in the Sunscreen festival.
