The Tale of Hillbelly – Encyclopedia Pictura
10 JunA limber backwoods yogi treks through a hilly landscape of evergreens while a cute little fox has a gutsy adventure. I have never seen anything that looks like this video. The combination of live-action costumes, fairytale backgrounds, experimental puppetry and sweet practical effects creates a familiar yet creepy world. Encyclopedia Pictura is the studio that brought us Panda Bear’s lush and psychedelic “Boys Latin” video. There’s an interview with the creators Daren Rabinovitch, Isaiah Saxon and Sean Hellfritsch talking about the process of making this labor of love in Juxtapose Magazine.
The Summoning of the Skylark & Harmony 3- Cool 3d World (Brian Tessler and Jon Baken)
27 MayI LOVE weird, glitchy wrong CG character animation. It’s an antidote to the plethora of boring, ugly ditsy CG characters that rudely infiltrate our media streams. The mysterious Cool 3d World, Brian Tessler and Jon Baken, are making me very happy right now. Their Website, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube channels are brimming with beautiful trippy weirdness. The website hosts a bunch of hilarious looping Vine shorts featuring hybrid animal-machine-human-alien characters stretching and growing into melty deformations. The artists are really good at creating a world you care about while using strange mechanisms like a mechanical snake-man slithering across the frame attached to an alien’s umbilical cord or a cute puppy-boy jumping into a woman’s arms and distorting her head with its elongated tongue. Here are a couple of short videos. Cool 3d World does all music and animation.

La Bionda- I Wanna Be Your Lover with animation by Guido Manuli
13 MayLa Bionda was a late 70’s-early 80’s Italian disco band. The lovely bit of animation in this groovy video was created by Italian animator Guido Manuli. I love the hand clap edits!
PRINCE!!!!
22 AprHe may not have been traditionally psychedelic, but Prince embraced it all. He was funky, weird, beautiful, sexy and most of all an original genius. I mean he did name his estate Paisley Park. Prince videos don’t stay up for long on the world of youtube, but this gem will be here for a while. I’ve watched this video many many times over the past few years and am always blown away by his TOTAL COMMAND of the stage. Prince comes in at about the halfway point.
There was a period of time in my life where 80% of the music I listened to was Prince and the Butthole Surfers. I danced for a good hour this morning with unrestrained tears and booty shaking. The world has lost a unique treasure. Rest in Peace your Purpleness.
