Innerzone - Shawnicide

This video is a tribute to local artist, and long time friend Shawn Smith here in Saint John, New Brunswick. All of the shots are of his work. His piece at 1:52 has earned him a spot in the National Gallery of Canada. Which is quite an acomplishment for an outsider artist with no formal training. (Although, the people he studied under are formally trained.) Here are his paintings along with his pen and inks. A self portrait of the artist is at the end of the vid. It should also be noted that he suffers from schizophrenia.

The song was created for the purpose of presenting his work. I can only describe it as a combination of slower dnb/grime mixed with a late 70's kraut-rock moto-link beat. Watch and listen!
