    • Damaged But Not Dead

    • This is my story: Please know that I am not trying to downplay anyone else’s situation- this is my personal experience and I consider myself VERY lucky-my story is mild compared to others I have witnessed and heard. I just want people to know that Emotional Abuse is REAL…and very damaging. During my early years, as a young bride, I was emotionally abused. Time kept passing but the damage never went away. The result was that by the time I became a young adult, my life was a big mess. I was waking up every morning feeling worthless and without any sense of direction. I was stuck in a dead-end job. I was making the wrong choices in my personal relationships. Then in 1999, my father died suddenly. He was only 59 years of age. With his passing, I was forced to make a critical decision. Was I going to continue living as I had been? Or was I going to take action and hold myself accountable for whatever happened? Then I realized how great it was that it was up to me to make that choice. I decided to begin the journey toward becoming who I believed was the real me. That’s when I became one of the lucky ones. I had become a survivor because I had chosen to heal myself. My father’s sudden death reminded me how short life really is. Because of that, I knew I should begin not only loving myself but also never being satisfied with anything less than doing what I loved. It was the most important turning point in my life. As a single parent, I became a student at the University of North Alabama. In 2006, I graduated Magna Cum Laude with a BFA in Graphic Design. I left there transformed. Not only did I have my degree, but I also had a new self confidence. How wonderful it felt to finally be able to accept myself and to realize I had fulfilled my dream of becoming a professional artist! Damaged But Not Dead (www.VLAntoine.com) allowed me an outlet and a way to heal a painful past. It’s based on emotional abuse, which I suffered over a span of 8 years (1984-1992). It’s a journey of my thought process during this time, the lengthy recovery, and the end result, which in my case, is a new self-acceptance and accomplishment of my life dream to become a professional artist. Although this experience was damaging to my self-esteem and distorted many of my views in life–through my faith in God–I was able to pick myself up and learn from it to make life better for myself. So, even if this exhibition touches the heart of only one person, whether victim or abuser, I will consider it a success.

    • IMPACT: Run DMC and Aerosmith

    • Certain songs have come to define the times in which they appeared as they proved to be the catalyst for the transformation of the cultural & political landscape. Most set trends in music, fashion & dance while flouting convention & testing the boundaries of society's accepted moral values. Each program in the Impact! series puts the spotlight on the songs that have left an indelible mark on the world. By any definition, Walk This Way, written by Aerosmith's Steve Tyler & Joe Perry, was your classic rock track. With its hooky guitar riffs & brazen, in-your-face vocal delivery, in the mid 70s, it was the song that set Aerosmith on the road to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame; but little could the group have known that it would have a second life a decade later. On its release in 1986, Walk This Way became the original rap/heavy metal video crossover song. Run DMC was the bridge between old-school artists like Grandmaster Flash & the modern rap era. To quote Rolling Stone magazine, they sparked a movement in popular music with an impact similar to the British invasion in the early 60s. With their gold chains & Adidas, they were the first rappers to earn gold, platinum, & multi-platinum albums; the first to have their videos played on MTV; the first to appear on American Bandstand; & the first to grace the cover of Rolling Stone & the first non-athletes to endorse Adidas products. Run DMC brought rap to mainstream America. It wasn't long before hip-hop style & fashion from the street had started to be seen in the stores of suburban shopping malls. Run DMC had a very recognizable look & it started catching on. To this day, the popularity of products associated with the hip-hop culture is not only exclusive to African-American youth. The style & the music have crossed both race & color lines, not only in America, but also around the world. With song clips, Steven Tyler & Joe Perry of Aerosmith, Jam Master Jay of Run DMC , Vernon Reid, Will Calhoun, Corey Glover, Doug Wimbish of Living Colour, Grandmaster Flash.

    • Tales of the Rat Fink

    • From the award-winning director of Comic Book Confidential comes Tales of The Rat Fink, Ron Mann's wildly inventive biography about Renaissance man Ed "Big Daddy" Roth, who took America's love of the fast and the loud and took it to the next level. From early days customizing jalopies for his friends, Tales of the Rat Fink traces Big Daddy's Roth rise to fame as a car customizer and as a cartoonist who created the pop culture phenomenon, the Rat Fink (who appears on t-shirts to this day). This documentary provides a loving look at car culture in Southern California from the 50s through today and demonstrates how it is possible for a hobby to blossom into the ultimate fulfillment of a dream.

    • Popaganda

    • A film about the culture-jamming and billboard-liberation antics of Ron English. The modern day Robin Hood of Madison Avenue, Ron paints, perverts, infiltrates, reinvents and satirizes modern culture on canvas, in songs, and directly on hundreds of pirated billboards. Shot entirely guerilla-style, the film chronicles the evolution of an artist who offers an alternative universe where nothing is sacred, everything is subverted and there's always room for a little good-natured fun.

ANATOMY OF A CLOSET counts down 10 style icons that we find in our closets, drawers and vanities.

    • Catharsis

    • This entry is a simple documentary of my recent travels on this new journey I find myself on as a single, middle-aged father of two brilliant, beautiful daughters. I hope this and further entries serve as a journal for my girls to better understand their father as he travels down this painful, lonely and devastating path I have been forced to take. I will try to continue adding pieces as I walk alone in this life trying to understand my place in the world and the worth of my art as I express it. I won't apologize for the amateur feel for this piece as I realize now that I am truly an amateur in life. It is nothing to be ashamed about. I hope you all take away something meaningful.
