Happy Thursday! ☺
Today's video inspiration comes from The Johnny Cash Project, an ongoing, collaborative effort to create "a living portrait of the Man in Black." What I find most inspirational about this video is that anyone can contribute to it. All you have to do is go to the Web site and use their program to create a portrait of Johnny. (And you don't even have to be an artist!) All the portraits are then integrated into the video for Cash's "Ain't No Grave."
I first posted about this project about six months ago, but I wanted to include it in my A to Z of Inspiration because the video is constantly changing as people contribute their artwork. The version below is from 2012. To see the latest version and/or contribute your own portrait, visit the Web site. I haven't made my contribution yet, but I plan to. Let me know if you decide to contribute, too.
My latest haiku is up at the Pulitzer Remix site. You can find it here. Many thanks to all of you who have been reading and commenting! I appreciate your support.
Wishing you all a fantastic Thursday. ☺
I love Johnny Cash, and this video is awesome. My artistic abilities are nowhere near good enough for something this cool. I'll just appreciate what other people come up with it.
ReplyDeleteMine aren't great either, but I really like the thought of being a part of this project. Maybe my stick figures won't stand out too much...? LOL
DeleteHappy Thursday, Tim!
LOVE Johnny Cash. This is quite amazing. I think my favorite video of his is "Sooner or Later God Will Cut You Down". Happy Thursday :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a great video, too! Hope you're having a good Thursday. ☺
DeleteI haven't been to the site but the video is amazing. Love it.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad. I hope you get the chance to visit the site sometime. It's pretty cool. :)
Deletethat was my dad's favorite singer
ReplyDeleteMy parents really liked him, too. I grew up with Johnny's music, which is probably why I enjoy listening to it today.
DeleteWhat a cool video! My grandma loved Johnny Cash. He was one of her inspirations for playing guitar and singing. :)
ReplyDeleteHow cool! Johnny Cash was really an incredible man.
DeleteThat is so cool, Dana! What a great idea the project's creator came up with! Thanks. :-)

DeleteVery cool! I just checked out the site and had a go... it's harder than it looks but loads of fun. I'll have a proper go at it later when I have more time.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration. :-)
Yay! I'm glad you're going to participate. I've tried it before, too. I'm no artist, so I need all the practice I can get. :) One of these times I'll submit. Have fun!
DeleteWell this is cool! I'm a HUGE Johnny Cash fan, so I knew I would like it before I even watched :)
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty amazing, isn't it? :)

DeleteYou're right: Johnny Cash was an amazing artist!
No worries! I just said it was an awesome video and that I really need to listen to Johnny Cash's music more often. :)

DeleteAh Yes, Johnny Cash...a true icon in the world of music and poetry. I've never seen this video or site. Thanks for sharing.

ReplyDeleteIt's pretty cool, isn't it? I hope your husband enjoys it.
DeleteAmazing! Though my evolving love of music, Johnny has been a constant presence. I have in my presence the LPs I would imagine I heard while in the womb when my mom visited my grandmother's house.
ReplyDeleteHe was pretty great. I grew up listening to him, too. I can remember my parents popping in Johnny Cash cassettes as they did things around the house. His music was the soundtrack to my childhood. :)
