**www.zimteemo.world** New Frontiers in ethical, hand made design. I'm putting my fashion design and story telling background to good use by releasing a very limited quantity of apparel and accessories made entirely by me. Materials I'm currently obsessed with using: Selvedge denim, used bicycle tires, vintage tapestries, naturally dyed indigo and black walnut. All pieces here were made by me in limited runs. More to come! #ethicaldesign #fashiondesigner #oneofone #handmade #fashiondesign
9 - The final song is a reflection and a resolution calling upon all of the voices of the album to say its piece in closing. Our coyotes, the desert melody, overly processed electric guitars alongside acoustic guitar and synth bass all recalling a memory we’re only just beginning to have. The present is a thin line that barely exists holding two things that don’t exist on either end: the past and the future.
Euterpe 8 - The space, the train, the desolation carries us into an even quieter place where there is only the sounds of the desert. Inspired by an audiovisual called Desert Melody and a piece of prose by Gurleen, I told the story from another angle. “I’m leaving for the desert, the coyotes are hungry.”
Polhymnia There was a desolation in this riff that I wanted to remain untainted but needed to ensure that it wasn’t too vacuous. In the distance we hear the train which is our only rhythm built from a sample and undertone with a Moog analog synth. This ends up being one of the few songs that I multi-track guitars because the fingering of each take becomes a chorus of voices drifting in rhythm almost like time running over each other in a loop. This riff has always been here.

We're down to the final three tracks of Helicon Descending!! and there will be airdrops!! Collectors of songs 1, 2, and 3 will get a song! Kleio, Kalliope, Erato Collectors of songs 4, 5, and 6 will get a second song! Terpsikhore, Thaleia, Melpomene Collectors of songs 7, 8, and 9 will get a third song! Polhymnia, Euterpe, Ourania You must collect all three tracks in succession for the airdrop, this means there are only 13 possible for each track and that narrows as each song mints out! Thanks for those who have collected so far @0xzfi.lens @gianni.lens @sweetman.lens @watchereth.lens @stani.lens @christina.lens @moonmant.lens @zackenny.lens @supreme_pablo.lens @0x1987.lens @musashi13.lens @dukep.lens ZOMBIE TIME MUSIC HOUR 🎶 Helicon Descending, NFTs on web 3 Riffs Live Monday on Hypeshot at 8pm EDT Helicon Descending is a reflection of the fleeting and transient nature of creative inspiration in the absence of divine guidance beyond money and celebrity. Each song is under a minute long and designed for social media, a commentary on the shift in the art world towards instant gratification and the need for commercial and social media success. Artists struggle to find meaning and purpose in a world where true artistic expression has been redirected towards algorithms guided by the misaligned general intelligence of the market. The title of the album, Helicon Descending, is a requiem to the muses. While they may have left humanity behind, their inspiration and influence can still be felt, even in the briefest of moments. The songs on this album are a testament to the enduring power of artistic expression and the human spirit, even in a world where inspiration has been replaced by the need for instant gratification and social media success. Overall, this album represents my own journey in ego dissolution, as an artist in a world that has lost touch with the truest nature of the creative spirit. Through it, I hope to inspire others to reconnect with their truest creativity and to find the inspiration they need to tap into their higher self. 6/9 songs have already dropped and are collectible on Lens.

Melpomene “Mush! Stay in line! You shouldn’t mind stepping over corpses to stay in time There is no peace, or incentives aligned We knew exacltly what effect we would have on your mind. So jump in the fire, and embrace the ego The farther we go down this path the more it knows what we know. And how to control the vitriol you have for human inconvenience.” 6 - The writing of this album is very focused on melody, harmony, ambience, and juxtaposition. I originally didn’t plan to have lyrics so I didn’t write leaving space for it. Maybe these decisions went hand in hand or vice-versa. I ended up changing my mind as I felt like the minimalism needed some more lead melodies that could have been guitar or synth but I chose voice to complete it. All of that is to say I didn’t plan to write any songs that were this heavy for this album. It happened out of a pure drive of the rhythm of this song. The intensity in it needed to be conveyed fully rather than holding it back to fit into the album better. This has happened a lot with my vocals as well. I have tried to focus more on singing and emphatic delivery rather than screaming and other forms of metal vocals. But some of these things need that emphasis and I find it better to lean in than try to pull punches, like the final line of Blood & Honey. Is this the ego dissolution I was looking for or a regression into old patterns? I like to think it’s an exploration into a past self with the healthy distance to harness that energy without being engulfed by it. Don’t let the trappings of art and culture dull your edges, art isn’t made to be civil and some messages need to be delivered as the raw, abrasive truth.

We'll be back next week with Sus Chat, of course, but @gurleenzimteemo.lens has been working on animation to accompany @zombieshepherd.lens Helicon Descending album release!

Kalliope “You can see it coming and you know it’s true, One by one we’re all convinced to collude, Despite the fact that we know there’s a better way, The will is weak and the heart likes to play it safe, Don’t give in when they whisper. Coordinate.” 2 - This song took the same concepts of midi and real drums, synthesis and guitars, volume and tone but used them in a very different way than the first song. I started this one on guitar then keys using an electric bass, midi synth so it started with the driving rhythm. I used a few variations of the electric bass synth track to create the filter sweeps. All of the heavier songs used only one guitar to get a raw, less produced garage tone, and let the synthesis have space around the 2 piece rock band. One of the funnest parts of this song for me is that the bass drum is a midi kick that is not lined up with anything and is rather arrhythmic but you don’t notice because the bass, guitar, and cymbals keep the rhythm without the kick. The cymbals are two tracks of real cymbals each recorded as one take with the song so the percussive elements weren’t written or recorded together. It all started from the groove of the melodic rhythm. Thematically, I feel like this song has one big question: where is the line between collusion and coordination? It seems like it should be obvious, but even villains see themselves as the hero. How much of your personality and social choices are colluding against others to play it safe rather than coordinate for the good of everyone? How does this affect your art? How does this affect your psyche?
I'll be dropping the new track from *Helicon Descending* today on Zombie Time at 8pm EDT. We'll be livestreaming on Hypeshot https://www.the402.xyz/profile/zombieshepherd The first track *Kleio* is here if you want to listen or collect: https://www.beatsxyz.app/post/0x6871-0x035b
**I made some real life things:** **The Road Coat**- made for the road life, age, wear, tears along the way are meant to add to the design. Made from a textured charcoal black leather. **Women Who Kill Oversize T-Shirt**- You might see two girls doing housework, I see two girls who just killed a man and now they're cleaning up the evidence. I screen printed and coffee dyed the material before it was sewn. **Up-cycled bicycle tire bag (yet to be named)** It's made from authentic, worn down bicycle tires that are generally thrown in the garbage. Let me know your thoughts, impressions! I plan on designing a mini capsule collection and a couple of these pieces are samples I'll be reworking for sale. #fashion #fashiondesigner
**Little discoveries can change everything.** It only gets boring if you stop paying attention, I challenge myself to make little discoveries in ordinary day to day life. I was the kid who'd look under rocks to see what kind of bugs live under it. Then, I'd try to break open the rock to see what was inside. I'd usually picture dinosaur fossils, but the most I'd find was small fossilized shells. Here's another clip from **Little Creep**, a film about discovery, anxiety, and eating stuff that isn't really food. At some point @zimteemo.lens will have to drop it. It also has a wicked soundtrack by @zombieshepherd.lens who is coincidentally dropping new music every Monday for the next 8 weeks, so check that out.
Thank you to everyone that has collected my first track from *Helicon Descending, Kleio,* or as I am titling the singles *Kleio - Helicon One Descending* The album art is by @gurleenzimteemo.lens and there will be more than meets the eye with this drop. Some of you may be able to guess if you're familiar with our work @zimteemo.lens 🌿🌿🌿 Zombie Time on Monday was a fun time even if it was a bit under prepped. I spent so much time working on the album up to the wire that I didn't plan much for the stream except to show up 😃 Better plans for next week since I have less stress on the musical side, so be there! We'll be back Monday at 8pm EDT on the 402 with the next track; *Kalliope - Helicon Two Descending* 🌿🌿🌿 @beatsapp.lens @0xzfi.lens @fromaatozzz.lens You can collect the first track here: https://lenster.xyz/posts/0x6871-0x035b
**An extended vacation turns into something else and other happenings.** I've been away from lens longer than expected but I'm back! I hope life has treated you well, I'm definitely in a growth phase which is uncomfortable but lively none the less. Lately, I've been feeling like I don't have the same level of creativity I've had in the past, but then I remind myself that I have so much to pull from when I'm in this state of creation. I have a good process of writing/sketching/documenting ideas and have a collection of unfinished stories/art/ideas that I can look at and get re-inspired from. I don't always have to be generating brand new ideas, I can apply a fresh lens on older ideas. Maybe this is a time to finish something rather than starting fresh. Does anyone else feel this? I've included a clip from an animated film called **Little Creep**. It was made for a 72hr film festival and it's hard to believe we @zimteemo.lens made a 6min animation that fast. Maybe the lesson is you can't think too much, just do.
Kleio “I'm afraid that if I blink, I might not be here anymore.” 1 - On this album I wanted to experiment with midi and live drums, synthesis and guitars, volume and tone, so I came right out of the gate with something aggressively weird. Fake drums into a hard kick off that dissolves into noisy filter sweeps echoing the opening riff, until through the fog comes a clear melody that leads us to the end. Even though these songs are under a minute, I wanted each one of them to have a full range of melodic journeys. It’s easy to feel like a short amount of time is not enough to tell a story, forgetting that most things that make us laugh or feel loved last only an instant while the feeling may linger for hours, or days. A sense of urgency in the timeless weight that has come to erase us.
GM 👻 😊 Should we drop another episode of *Rosie & Joe*??? Go check out episode 101 - *The Other Side.* Fun fact! That episode's working title was chicken livers but we thought it gave too much away and the other side gives it a lame chicken joke 😆 @gurleenzimteemo.lens & @zombieshepherd.lens will be doing Sus Chat tonight directly after @fromaatozzz.lens podcast starting 7pm EST. 👻🎙👻

Here it is the second month of 2023 already! (I say a week in to it.) I feel like I have been off to a good start but want to keep that momentum going. I have been deep in the studio pushing to finish everything and be getting it out the door. I dropped Blood & Honey in January, will I have a February drop? I'm not sure yet! I have been gearing up for ETH Denver with Gotchi Lodge 2023 @aavegotchi.lens @gmifrens.lens and while I have been in the studio recording. Externally, I have been more concerned with making sure Blood & Honey gets enough time in the sun. I'm really trying to lean into my projects AFTER they drop instead of dropping and moving on; every artists mistake. You have to nurture your babies or no one else will. So go listen to my song LOL. You can check out my artist profile on @oohlala.lens I have 3 songs on there. There are a lot of projects and collaborations in the works including a FAKE Gotchi collab with a summoning works artist and one of my songs on it, Lone Rofl & Sus animations, and FAKE #2 coming soon with @gurleenzimteemo.lens @zimteemo.lens There are a lot of things still in the air that I'm trying to iron out so I can focus more on creativity. But the reality is that as a creative producer, and freelance artist, I really can't stop focusing on the logistics of keeping project timelines, marketing, and budgets always in mind. There are always things in the air if you're doing it right. I also have had a lot of really interesting ideas around IP, and quality productions, like film and animation, that I have been trying to write about but the idea keeps evolving and growing. I should break it into digestible chunks. I'll definitely start talking about it more with @0xzfi.lens and YOU in our Touch Grass Twitter Spaces and From Aa to Zzz podcasts as it pertains to artists and musicians @fromaatozzz.lens When I get back from Denver I'll have a much clearer direction for everything. Say hello if you'll be at ETH Denver, I'll be posting updates of my plans soon. That's my year to date check in, how was your first month of 2023 and where do you see it going?
Tonight on Zombie Time 9pm EST we're having a song release party! Blood & Honey hit Spotify today so we'll be doing an all @zombieshepherd.lens playlist tonight! https://open.spotify.com/album/2N1rrpTdlveKT8LzEFDcNk?si=r5-u5hgjRNWmrJC9X0zWzA There's a lot music you've never heard being played and we'll be following up with ETH Denver planning during the @gmifrens.lens syncopator at 10pm EST. Zombie will also be on GMI Block Party being interviewed by @hefe_crypto.lens and @nofuture.lens
Good Evening everyone! Here are a few photos of an outfit I designed and made a couple weeks ago. The upcycled jacket is made from vintage tapestries, a vintage shearling coat and extra wide corduroy. The design is inspired the basement in my childhood home with it's wood paneled walls and tapestry wall hangings. I'm always cold so I made it oversized and fully insulated. It feels more like a blanket than a coat and that's a bonus for me. I also made the pants from a hemp/cotton twill. The handbag is made from upcycled bicycle tires and paracord. This might be one of my favorite designs that I've made in a while. More details later!
Zim Teemo presents Rosie & Joe - episode 101 - The Other Side Zim Teemo presents Rosie & Joe - episode 101 - The Other Side An introduction into the twisted story-telling of Joe. She is mischievous with a curiosity for the world but frequently misinterprets or embellishes reality. Rosie is a cautious German Shepherd so she’s not very easily fooled, but Joe is persistent if not convincing. This is our pilot episode written by @zombieshepherd.lens which helped to get us the funding to do the rest of the series. Things get much weirder from here so keep your eyes out for more episodes of Rosie & Joe. Thanks for #LMCC all of your support helps us in pre-production for our upcoming series.

**Lost & Found**: September 11, 2019. A tough guy with a soft side A quick animation exercise to warm up. I'm getting back into the swing of making quick warm up animations. I like to work fast and intuitive, not exactly what you think of when you think animation but sometimes you need to challenge the norms. I'm not a trained animator, I taught myself so I don't feel particularly bound to the rules. Deviants, outsiders, weirdos, they're my tribe.

I was about to post a full episode of Rosie & Joe but I have to render them all again in a different format 😆 @zombieshepherd.lens But would you look at that cat gang? They were in the last R&J clip we posted and made it into two episodes. Great character design by @gurleenzimteemo.lens Pay attention for new animations coming from us including Seasoning, Lone Rofl & Sus, extra unplanned content, and some classics from the goodies drawer.

Lost & Found **June 22, 2019** stream of consciousness animation, seeing red, I don't sleep well. **What's in your lost & found?**
Lost & Found: **Dec 18, 2020, Lonely Girl** Fuzzy bunny slippers.
This is the year I'm prioritizing experimentation and play within my creative practice. I miss being able to experiment with animation. Right now, I'm busy with commissions and I'm missing being able to mess around artistically. I pulled this from the metaphorical 'lost & found' bin aka some badly named file on my computer. This was a quick warm up animation from a couple years ago. This is one of dozens of quick animations I made. I've made some of my favorite animations like this. @zimteemo.lens Cosmic Spaghetti comes to mind. @zombieshepherd.lens
Rosie & Joe: Cat Gang Living in New Orleans has taught me you never have to buy a pet, given time, and chance, they will find you. So, when we had the opportunity to develop an animated series it's no surprise that we drew inspiration from our roster of animals cohabitating with us. Before there was Rosie & Joe the animated mini series there was Rosie Comic. She was also the co-star of another comic, Privacy. Rosie was an obsession of mine and she found herself in various iterations of my creative pursuits. Joe, the bug eyed and somewhat sadistic cat is based off Joe "Pamplemouse Laqoix". Her origin story is far more humble, Anthony and I found her in the parking lot of a Walmart. We brought her home and Rosie saw her, wagged her tail, gave her a small lick and that was it, they were best friends. Rosie passed away in December 2021 and she's missed but Rosie & Joe is a reminder of the impact she had on our lives. @gurleenzimteemo.lens
Fat Fleshy Fingers animated intro "FAT FLESHY FINGERS is having its WORLD PREMIERE at this year's Film Maudit 2.0! You can watch it LIVE and ONLINE -- for FREE! I am VERY EXCITED! You can tell by all these CAPITAL LETTERS and EXCLAMATION POINTS! FAT FLESHY FINGERS is an anthology feature made up of all new stories told by alumni of the BizarroLand Film Festival (formerly Sick n Wrong). All the creators are people I love dearly, and I am very proud that this thing is finally making its appearance to the public." ~ Stephen Stull of BizzaroLand FF @gurleenzimteemo.lens and @zombieshepherd.lens created the animated intro and all of the interstitial animations in the film. You can think of us as the animated mortar to the bricks of film. The process was very interactive and communicative between teams. This is not just a block of short films lumped together loosely but a shared lore traveling through the world via different perspectives. We love the work of the other filmmakers and have shared the screen with them quite a few times in festivals but never on the same project. We have also been in Film Maudit 2.0 with Cosmic Spaghetti and Little Creep so we are super excited to be making it there again with our first feature film collaboration. Fat Fleshy Fingers is FREE to watch and so is the rest of the Film Maudit 2.0 Film Festival. Please ENJOY and let us know in the comments what you think about it; good, bad and ugly. If you'd like to further support @ZimTeemo.lens you can collect the intro scene! There may be further perks as Fat Fleshy Fingers is making its way through the festival route and into the world.

Life in a Petri Dish, November 2022
**2023 prediction animation**. Interpret as you choose... What are your prophecies for the year?
Blood & Honey is a full frontal, sonic attack with guitar, bass, drums, vocals, and analog synthesizer. All instruments are played, recorded and produced by Zombie Shepherd. The lyrics are a layered reflection on loss, both internal and external. A Loss of self, a loss of time, and a loss of life in both literal and metaphorical interpretations. Loss doesn’t need to be an end, but the beginning of nurturing what remains.
**No matter what, keep going...** I'm realizing believing in yourself is key, but when life happens, and it gets hard you have to maintain that energy, that's when it matters. Keep going, you were made for this. BTW, this is a clip from a spontaneous animation I made in collaboration with @zombieshepherd.lens for @zimteemo.lens. He made an awesome soundtrack for this.
Life in a Petri Dish Life lately....coming up for air from a tedious animation job. It seems the last few months have been creatively tough because of an animated commission that seems never ending. I've easily been putting in 8+ hours daily and now I need to temporarily shift focus on some truly creative projects. I'm working on a few one of one garments and I'll be sharing the full design process here. It's so satisfying making physical objects when the majority of the time I'm working digitally. stay tuned!!
