Let your muse flow


Elizabeth Gilbert's psychological (or spiritual, if you will) approach to help artists cope with stress from expectations and fear of failure that can hinder creativity.

Thanks to The Endicott Studio for Mythic Arts for posting this video. I may not have found it otherwise.

Sita Sings the Blues



A 2008 animated film by Nina Paley based on the Ramayana. The film also relates Nina's breakup with her husband as a contemporary parallel to the Ramayana epic. The animation is beautiful and colorful, with strokes of brilliance, and the story is told with a good dose of humor. There's also the benefit of listening to 1920's jazz songs performed by Annette Hanshaw. The film is best watched here.
