...oh lord vs what the hell..

I've probably mentioned this before but I have two rather large interests - those being

1. Parodical tales with magical, mythological, religious or pop culture references with a humourous bent. In literature this is covered by my favourite authors - Tom Holt, Christopher Moore, Terry Pratchett and Douglass Adams. I enjoy how humour can far more successfully convey a point than anger can, it has a greater scope and audience understanding than many political speeches ever achieve.

and

2. Modernisations of mythological and religious tales and astrological content with a dark, fine art aspect. I was first turned on to this theme after a model scale replica of the 9 levels of hell depicted in Dante's Inferno was used on an episode of 'Rebus' to aid in the capture of a killer who's murders were carried out to reflect each relevant sin in today's society. I really liked the link between the sin and punishment of today and that of the past. Other favourites include the seven deadly sins theme and star signs especially the collections created by Weed Fairy.

I'm hoping that one of these two will form the basis for my Final Major Piece next year as it is finally somewhere I can showcase my true passion in animation. Due to this, I want it to be as close to perfection I can possibly achieve - this is why I've decided to start planning as soon as is sane to after this year ends (obviously a break of some form is required to keep my sanity)...(I also plan to do similar for the dissertation too so watch this space)

Roll on planning!
