JONATHAN KING makes films and comics. 8212; Main Menu —. December 03, 2012. I’m doing some stop-motion animation! I built this guy a while ago felt and foam body over wire armature. The head and hands are Milliput. All going well, this will end up in a music video for my band, The Dickens. Right now I’m just enjoying making this guy move. There’s something really nice about shooting actors who’ll do. What you want them do … even if it’s only one frame at a time! Jonathan King makes films and comics.

JONATHAN KING makes films and comics. 8212; Main Menu —. Here’s a bunch of news, thoughts, process and equipment discussion on film and comics: I’m wondering how (and why) you make films and comics in the digital age … I’m enjoying thinking about the questions and working toward answers. I’d love you to join in the conversation. December 03, 2013. Take 1 x Count Orlock, add boiling water, stand for two minutes. Go. January 19, 2013. As I’ve mentioned on Twitter. And as Chad Taylor. Bad Taste, The Evil.

The Ghost I Know: November 2011
http://theghostiknow.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
The Ghost I Know. Monday, November 28, 2011. Last week at a gig, some one shouted out, "play something upbeat." I replied,"sorry, we we've done all our upbeat ones.". So I went home and wrote this.it is as upbeat as it gets for me. The thing with upbeat songs is they just don't get their claws in deep enough. They last as long as a lollipop. So this has a sinister undertone for kicks. You make me lean. It's not your lies. It's too much truth. And I could leave you. This is the last dance with you. Nick C...

The Ghost I Know: Nightingale
http://theghostiknow.blogspot.com/2012/01/nightingale.html
The Ghost I Know. Saturday, January 14, 2012. Written in an afternoon. Brought to the band a week later. Performed the week after. I think it could be a good one. The band version is more sonic youth than this pretty shaky acoustic demo, but they both have a place. This one is for Liam. Words and music: Andrew Savage). The creases that you looked for, you found. And those friends that made them call you out. You're not the only on who knows. And I still believe. I can see you bleed. Leaving you my number.

The Ghost I Know: January 2012
http://theghostiknow.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
The Ghost I Know. Monday, January 23, 2012. If you're true to me / I shadow you, you shadow me. It is a universal truth that The Beach Boys would be much cooler if they had a differen't band name. I absolutely love Pet Sounds. It really is a masterpiece. My favourite song on the album is I know there's an answer. Apparently the original song was called Hang on to your ego. This song of mine has had two lyrics as well. The original version ( If you're true to me. If You're True to Me. If you're true to me.

The Ghost I Know: October 2011
http://theghostiknow.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
The Ghost I Know. Friday, October 21, 2011. Firstly, apologies for not meeting my post a week goal. The Dickens have been busy recording a little demo/ep and I have been quite busy at work. Forgive the brevity of this post then! This song comes from one of those weekly panic sessions. Here is the process:. 1 Pick up acoustic guitar. 2 Strum away until I hum a tune. 3 Quickly record it onto my phone so I don't forget it. 4 Set up my archaic old zoom 8-track. 5 Lay down a quick drum pattern to play along to.

The Ghost I Know: April 2011
http://theghostiknow.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
The Ghost I Know. Saturday, April 30, 2011. Living in the Gaps. Me living in the gaps. 65279; This song always sits in the 'I'm not sure' basket. Somedays I think has real potential. On other days I absolutely despise it. There is this rather limp/strange Beach Boys. Vocal thing I was trying to do at the end, which kind of grates me now. On the other hand, I like the tune. I also like the sliding guitar thing, but I can't help but think it is (as always) in the wrong key for me. First drafts are only the...

The Ghost I Know: September 2011
http://theghostiknow.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
The Ghost I Know. Saturday, September 24, 2011. For a long time I worked in music retail. First, I can vouch for this truth. It was nothing like the movie Empire Records. We actually used to have people coming in asking for jobs because that is how they though it would be. Unfotrunately, I didn't work with a perfect cross section of musical tastes and current fashion. It was nothing like this:. For me, one of the best was Twilight as played by the Twilight Singers. The Twilight Singers were Greg Dulli.

The Ghost I Know: I've been away too long...(Plagues are Coming)
http://theghostiknow.blogspot.com/2012/01/ive-been-away-too-longplagues-are.html
The Ghost I Know. Monday, January 9, 2012. I've been away too long.(Plagues are Coming). The posts may have slowed down, but the conviction hasn't. I'm waiting for our 3rd child to be born (now 11 days overdue if taken from the date given us by the ultra sound).It's pretty tedious waiting around for a baby to be born. Can't go too far from home, just incase etc. etc. I've been making new songs up. Here's one called Plagues are Coming. Without overdrive), that bleeds into a Buddy Holly. This book becomes ...
