Amateur Arts Productions is a collective of Artists of various degrees, genres, techniques, cultures, ideologies, etc.. In the spirit of the many amateur artists that came before us and paved the way to new experiences such as Henry Darger, Charles Darwin, Gregor Mendel, William Shakespeare, Leonardo da Vinci, Grote Reber and Guglielmo Marconi, just to name a few;  Amateur Arts Productions' goal is to seek out, create, produce and distribute original, unknown and/or undiscovered "art". By using the word "Amateur" to describe our arts production we are implying that an amateur may be in a position to approach a subject with an open mind and therefore will be able to provide themselves and their audience a free and original experience unclouded by formal skill/training and financial concerns/worries.  Amateurs are serious about the work they do, providing outstanding examples of contributions to society. But whereas professionals obtain licenses as their “measurability of the excellence of service provided”, amateurs break taboos by loving their work. From here, it can be argued that, to the extent amateurs threaten the professional industry by providing free services, the professional industry has an interest in making its counterpart amateur activity shameful.  Below are a set of links for a few Amateur artists we support. Check them out! There will be many more to come!  If you would like to share your art, join in creation of art, or just say hello; email us at amateurartsproductions@gmail.com

MAKE ART A PART OF YOUR LIFE!

Dave Banks is a middle-class, middle-aged, terminally dissatisfied moaning minnie who identifies strongly with Uncle Vanya.

Unlike Uncle Vanya, however, he does enjoy writing songs. 

He has in the past formed slightly less than 50% of the remarkable lo-fi, shock-folk duo 'The Sedatives' (https://the-sedatives.bandcamp.com). In prehistory, he has also been a member of 'The Groundwater Boys' and 'Jefferson Volkswagen'.

He now writes and performs with a variety of collaborators, especially the excellent Mr Rob Dean, Mr David Ian Jonesm Nr John Belli and Ms Louise Sweeney as "Me and Mr Jones" (https://meandmrj.wixsite.com/meandmrjones). 

He also plays and sings with Kev McInally as 'Poke O'Swedgers' (https://soundcloud.com/user-413397786)

Inspirations? He gets a kick out of confrontational music - Bertolt Brecht/Kurt Weill, Eels, Pulp - leavened with a helping of comedy - Jake Thackeray, Graham Fellows or John Otway. In his mellower moments he has been found secretively listening to his collection of Joni Mitchell, Martin Simpson, Kathryn Williams and Chris Wood cds.

Composer, accepting commissions in film, video game music, session guitar, and modular synth sound design.

Earth-spun Occupants are a team of artists utilizing various mediums to channel that eternal-loving spirit sauce to earth. We are existence creating art for existence, our mediums for expression are as dynamic as the human experience. 

We dabble around with several art forms currently, (music, video, graphic design, and so fourth) but as we grow, so will our endeavors.

Musically, we are a dynamic duo spun from the eclectic fibers of the Midwest (Kansas City). Our goal is to create new soundscapes, by exploring different styles of music.( rock, folk, classical, hip-hop, electronic,etc.).
