Dreaming Seattle Art Museum Retrospective Goddess KRING show
woah! i did a 55 minute monologue! improvisation!
I'm inspired by a lot of musicians and actors who happen to be famous and I don't believe in dehumanizing people just because they're famous! they're still real human beings that move us and touch us, inspire...innovate and contribute to the art and music and theater/film/acting world! Still thinking about the Val Kilmer documentary that I love so much called VAL ... so here's the trailer for it for those of you who are curious and have never seen it. it's really a beautiful movie and uniquely done narrated by his son who sounds very similar to him and then you partly get to hear how Val had to talk through the throat device because he had throat cancer etc he died on April 1st 2025 from pneumonia complications I guess and he was 65 years old... I'm very moved by this movie and I've seen it twice... I think I want to watch it a third time... it's very inspiring and it's magical to see videos of him with his brother when they were like 11 or 12 years old doing skits and filming themselves and making little movies and then he just kept on going I think he went to Juilliard to study acting just a very inspirational person and I absolutely love his version of Jim Morrison in the movie The Doors and his Mark Twain solo one man show that he did right before he got ill is also looked magical and I wish he'd been able to do more of that... This documentary that Val made about his life also contains some of his visual art and collages which I also enjoy and appreciate he got more into doing visual art when he had his throat cancer because he was less able to do acting so he explored his visual art creativity which I think is wonderful... https://youtu.be/trDBnzJqN6M?feature=shared

I'm so grateful I just had a delightful time portrait modeling for some artists and when I told them that I do music and poetry and I have an art car and I used to do public access TV show they were fascinated by it as they were drawing me and painting the shapes of the planes of my face and talking about my bone structure and they were curious about my Norwegian heritage and trying to figure out how to draw and paint my features and it was so refreshing to be able to share my poetry book and the Seattle magazine article about me and show a link to my music they're going to check it out and they appreciated me sharing it so instead of interpreting me as narcissistic they interpreted me as an interesting person that was sharing with them so that is so refreshing when people are open to hearing about my creativity… They say it helps them draw me to know a little bit more about my personality…
I've always seen the patterns that repeat and what humans do and seeing beyond The duality and yet people don't understand what I mean when I say that. So I kind of feel like I don't belong with most humans. So I guess I'm just one of these people that sees things differently and I'm kind of an outsider and maybe that's good. And maybe that's my role on this planet for now. Good luck everyone
One example of me singing beyond The duality is that I am not an atheist, but that doesn't mean I'm religious. I don't literally take religious things literal, but I am a spiritual person and I see nature as God and spirit and the ecosystem and life, and I don't appreciate that humans think they can outsmart and conquer nature and genetically modify everything with technology that is creepy. So I don't fit into this total atheist that thinks that we should genetically modify everything cuz there's no creator, but I'm also not a religious person that takes religious things literally, but I don't want to throw the baby out with a bathwater. I believe in actual wisdom in philosophy and I believe in nature and I believe that humans should work with nature, not try to dominate and conquer and outsmart nature with genetically modifying things and using technology that tinkers with our DNA etc. That's just the tip of the iceberg on that
Like when Einstein said that imagination is more important than knowledge, that is way way, way deeper than people realize. Because if you look at quantum physics, you realize that things are not set in stone and that life is literally flexible and that imagination has the power to create beyond thinking that something has to be a certain way and people associate that with being science, but science actually is flexible. Especially if you act ask Quantum physicists what is real? What is solid things change based on what we think or feel or imagine or assume etc. We are partly creating all of this. Things are not set in stone
TRUST YOUR OWN INNER VOICE/GUT/ FEELING /INTUITION. each person has their own wisdom. I guess the reason why I'm on every single social media platform I can find including alternative ones mainstream, alternative, whatever I'm on every single one that I can find that's free in addition to having my own website Shannon Kringen dot com since 2000... and then I share my photos on Flickr and my videos on YouTube. And I have several blogs and the reason why I maintain all of this is because in case they- whoever's in charge- decides to delete it or eliminate it all together. I cross post my art on every single website that I possibly can so that I can keep my creative expression published in the universe online as well as recording my voice making music and publishing poetry books and art books. That's my way of creative expression and keeping my voice literally expressed in the community online and I try to ignore all of the drama if i cannot personally do anything to "solve" it... and all of the people arguing about every topic imaginable. Everything we say and do online has been curated in some way and its being "collected as data to train machines etc anyway ha ha right? what a GAME. in the last several years especially, and it's kind of creepy like humans are being trained to think a certain way and act a certain way. And I am continuously trying to figure out how I can keep creating in some kind of inspirational way and not react with anger to all the things that I think are BS + downright abusive and disgusting and disruptive and negative/manipulative/mostly wanting to sell ideas and agendas and literally products... and blah blah blah blah blah. And I don't want to argue or debate with anybody who has different opinions than mine- and i want the world to have variety. I just want to keep creating from a place of joy and love and whatever Freedom we have left as humans. heres a collages i just made of my art book, poetry book i self published along with the article seattle magazine and the everett herald published on my art car. thank you everyone involved in this- this gives me joy and hopefully spreads positive eNeRgY to others in the community reminding them of playful fun aspects of life. i am inspired by Pippi Longstocking and Willy Wonka Oompa Loompa Boopity Do su·per·ca·li·fra·gil·is·tic·ex·pi·a·li·do·cious KringFlower Goddess KRING Music. Shannon Nicole Kringen is me.

a poem by shannon kringen turned into a song by supaflower
lyrics
Made a new video for "ShannonKringen" youtube channel about how to eat on a budget and eat healthy food from my perspective. And I believe in free speech and civil liberties. So if anyone disagrees with me that's fine. But I just put my input in because somebody said hey. Do you have a video on how people can do this because they were saying that if somebody doesn't have a lot of money they are forced to eat junk food cuz that's all they can afford but I don't agree. I think that you can actually be on a really tight budget and eat healthy food if you're willing to do certain things that I do. And no matter what my income level is, whether it's low, medium or high. I still believe in eating actual real food and not processed food that comes in boxes
