Interests
General
Animation, illustration, sequential art, film direction, film production, writing articles in: psychology, medicine, and comedy. My research interests lie in the study of the placebo effect.Music
My choice in music is changable, and can I no longer can say I like "this band" or "that band". I like certain songs the artists, because not everything they do is great. I like feelings that reflect how I am feeling or want to feel. I also like messages that confirm my beliefs. Music that is sexy, interesting, progressive, intelligent or creative can also be enjoyable simply through being so. I can also admire something for its emotive merit even if I dont want to feel that emotion, or dont usually feel it. My selection of music is international and goes across genres, though it is heavily littered with gothic, japanese, shock, guitar based, and progressive types.Movies
..I like surreal anime directed at adults (e.g. neon genesis evangelion: the end of evangelion, Paprica). I like fantasy action films (e.g. underworld, resident evil 2) I like art house and foreign films (e.g. sante sangre).Television
Books
Mostly academic and foreign stuff. I prefer to write rather than read, if I am reading I really have to be able to learn from it, or get something from it.

About me:
I like to make artistic projects and projects related to psychology. I am eccentric.michaelmathewsart.com
michaelmathewsart.com is my website- though while it displays my art in a way much more to my liking than deviantart does, I put up more of my work on my DA account.
click for My deviant art page (old, for the new one click on the picture above)Life is incomprehensibly short.
Don't fear taking risks.
My artwork programmed sell death.The name is a pun on programmed cell death, a condition in which neurons or other cells tell another to kill themselves. The work also touches on the themes of the environment, being fragmented in personality, being dysfunctional, and dead on the inside... not exactly feelings that I want to foster- but I was once taught that one way of getting people to take action is to induce fear and then give a practical way of alleviating fear. so the message is be energy efficient or suffer.
An animated short film I made called Division A music video made for a band called "fanny pack" the song is called crazy bunny.

Long before a thermonuclear war can come about, we have had to lay waste to our own sanity. We begin with the children. It is imperative to catch them in time. Without the most thorough and rapid brain-washing their dirty minds would see through our dirty tricks. Children are not yet fools, but we shall turn them into imbeciles like ourselves, with high I.Q.s if possible. - Laing, R.D. 1990a. The Politics of Experience and The Bird of Paradise. London: Penguin Books Ltd. | ..

"why then believe in God? Why not simply believe in man, society, the world? Why in God and simply not in human values:liberty, fraternity, love? Why add trust in God to trust in ourselves, prayer to work, religion to politics, the bible to reason, the hereafter to now? What is belief in God supposed to mean anyway? What can it mean today?" - english translation of KUNG, H. 1928. EXISTIERT GOTT? | ..
Who I'd like to meet:
Eccentric people, normal people, and everything in-between. People that like my art!! People who dislike my art (I am often included in this group :) )!! People who enjoy watching film. People who want to be part of the film-making process. Voice actors, musicians capable of writing a soundtrack, animators, actors, graphic designers, people who are interested in sound.Details
