Opal Moonstone Art Car

 

Opal Moonstone is an improvisational design with rhinestones on a 2010 Honda Fit. I am delighted to add colors and shapes when I get the urge. I am known in Seattle for painting onto shoes and hats, and giving my hand painted "KringWEAR" shoes to musician Tori Amos, I am known as "Goddess KRING" from public access TV in Seattle and this art car is my current big project. I am an experimental multi media artist. Some of my favorite artists that inspire me are: Antoni Gaudí, Yayoi Kusama, Gustav Klimt, and Friedensreich Hundertwasser.

be useful to others in multiple ways

 

Just like I have my flickr photos "ShannonKringen" available to publish under creative commons, we would like to have our music "Goddess KRING KringFlowers music" (on most platforms now- just search) available to use for things under a similar kind of creative commons. Just give us credit for the music and link back to us ...if people want to use our music for any kind of movie or video or photo project as the sound. Many of my photos have been published from my Flickr feed on PBS and Bill Moyers BuzzFeed and different national and local websites. Would love it if our music could be useful to people in a similar way and be published and used in other places aside from our own that we generate! Opening doors


as cheesy as the title sounds this is very helpful in building better relationships/sense of community= "re-lation-ship" with others both personal and professional! especially in being an artist and seeing your work as being useful to others "How To Win Friends And Influence People Audiobook"

dark and light thoughts

 


Basically I just feel like I need to be my whole self which is dark and light positive and negative multifaceted full of contradictions a little bit introvert a little bit extrovert a little bit country, a little bit rock and roll a little bit friendly and a little bit antisocial. I guess all of it is the real me a little bit Moody a little bit friendly, etc. Definitely an omnivore wanting to eat both plants and animals. Not trying to save the world but a little bit hero and a little bit villain. Maybe both at the same time simultaneously!

Yeah, suddenly it occurs to me once again. I still want to do my art and I still want to share it, but I think I'm burned out on thinking that I need to promote the heck out of what I do to make it a success just to prove that I'm not afraid of failure or success. When really? I want to do my music and my poetry and my art but I don't want to try to force it to become successful or like push the river. I want to just flow with the river so the idea that you make music and art and that's enough that you're enjoying it. It doesn't matter if it's popular or famous or you make money or whatever. I don't need to make money with my yard. I do my art for fun so now I want to let go again of needing certain external results but still come from a place of doing my creative things and sharing them and not worrying about the outcome whether it's failure or success because everyone just labels things anyway. And what really matters is that we're doing what we love, right, and that we're creating a ripple effect in the universe

Good luck to everyone. I just deleted all my Moody posts. I'm in a weird mood today but I'll figure it out. Good luck to everyone. Thank you for anyone who's kind and shows support to me and others.

next events i am part of with my art car, poetry book and music and visual art i create:

Hot Off the Press Book Fair on Saturday July 13 2024 5pm-9pm Fantagraphics Bookstore and Gallery 1201 S Vale St, Seattle, WA (will also have music i made)

Wedgwood Art Festival

July 13 - 14, 2024

Lake City Parade and Festival SATURDAY August 3, 2024

SeaScare and Porch Light Parade - City of Brier August 14th

maybe if they want art cars again?

Fresh Paint Art Fair Everett Washington August 17th and 18th

Saturday, 10am - 5pm & Sunday, 10am - 4pm

I kept this laminated sign with my names of it from the parade yesterday As a souvenir..., I can use this for other display purposes and then I'm excited to set up a table to show the public, my poetry book and some of my visual art and a QR code for our music.. at the Wedgwood Art Festival and the fantagraphics book fair hot off the press as part of the art attack on the weekend of July 13th and 14th...

It also occurs to me that I should find a camera person that wants to follow me around and help me document some of the vents that I'm in cuz it's quite challenging to be the performer, the artist and the filmmaker at the same time that's documenting it! Wish I could clone myself and so I could film myself better. Although I'm really good at doing the monologues in a simple way but to document me from a distance, I'm probably going to need another camera person to help me out... And the friends that I'm working with on making this film are both busy so it's hard to coordinate with them so I might need to find somebody else to help do our documentary film.

Really pretty much in awe of this documentary about Val Kilmer's life. The most amazing thing about it is the way it's edited together. I imagine what a challenge it was to go through all of the home movies that he made and figure out how to tell a story and splice it all together from the past to the present into this one. Cohesive film. Really well done. Anyone who's reading this? Have you seen this movie? What do you think? I really loved it. Ive seen it twice so far. And then I think about doing my own documentary about my public access, TV show and different aspects of the unusual way in which I was raised etc. My life story basically it's a little overwhelming to think about, but I have hundreds of VHS tapes from my public access TV show and I've worked with hundreds of people as an art model literally and I wonder how many people have seen my TV show or at least used to watch it. And I think I have four people lined up to interview, but I haven't started any of the interviews yet... Then I would like to film me driving around in my art car or have somebody film me. A friend of mine has a drone. We might be able to get some aerial shots of me driving around in my art car and then we have the goddess Kring theme song literally that we can use in the movie... Dave Flowers It's a great sound engineer and music mixer and composer, and so we basically have the tools to score the movie with ordinal music we create - then I have my visual art and my poetry and my own current self. So there's so much potential for this movie to be pretty rich and interesting multifaceted and interesting story that we could tell which will hopefully inspire and touch people

Kringonian Pizzazz poetry book reviews

 

thanks for the book reviews on my Kringonian Pizzazz poetry book! Larsen says
"Words twist and turn, igniting my imagination. Pages layered in phrases. Kringen operates from an angle rarely taken. Whatever the price, this book is worth the admission."

and Matt F. Says: "Classic Kring!
I grew up in the Seattle area and have known of Shannon Kringen and her art since I was in my late teens, seeing her on channel 29. Her book echoes the Goddess Kring I’ve loved to watch and read about over the years and I hear her voice as I’m reading it. She touches upon many feelings in her book of poetry, from silly to serious, and I enjoy the creative journey that she elicits in my mind. Her art has always fascinated me and her written work is no exception. I brought this book with me on a recent trip overseas and it was like having a connection to home while I was away"
