No Further Updates

Although my blog has a decent monthly visitor count, I'm not getting comments to my posts. I've tried to write posts that would encourage discussion about woman-warrior art, video, and stories, but apparently none of you visitors want to reply. So, after more than three years in operation, I've decided that it's time to put the blog into archive status in Blogger.

For me, a successful blog is not how many visitors I have each month, but whether visitors care enough about my uploads and posts to make comments. If I wanted to build a website with a gigantic art gallery, I would have purchased a domain name rather than use Blogger.

What "archive status" means is that my blog will still be up and remain in the Google database, but I will no longer perform my monthly updates or continue posting. However, if visitors do read this post and start commenting on my previous posts, than it's possible that I may change my mind.

I've enjoyed sharing my art, story, and video collection with you. Thanks to all of you for visiting Werewolfking's Howl.

Women Warriors History Video

Here's an informative montage of the history of women warriors from World War II to the modern era. Lots of vintage and current war photos from the U.S., U.K., and other nations. Please click the above link to view it. I've also added it to the "Video Library". Hope you like it and please reply with your comments here.

New Women-Warrior Art Uploads (June)

This month's art uploads features: "Alani Of The Deer Folk", a warrior from the Stone Age by Nat Rat, an artist new to me that I'm encouraging. You may visit his gallery by clicking http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/browse.php?user_id=575954.



Additional fine works are "Clash", a duel of two axe-wielders on horseback; "B.C. Hunters", another example of Stone Age art; "Battle Of The Amazons", a classical painting by the Italian painter Antonio Tempesta (fl. 16th Century); "Dragon Slayer", an interesting render of a dragon that appears tamed by a woman.



Our guest ranter-rendering is "Saber Lady", a lady who brandishes a sharp sword and is out-spoken about the right of a woman to carry a weapon.

While the female "Zorro", Tessa, star of "The Queen Of Swords", is no longer on television, you may view an official photo of her near the bottom of the blog, plus a video clip of her at the "Video Library" here. For more clips of her shows on You Tube.com, click http://www.youtube.com/results?search_type=&search_query=queen+of+swords+clip&aq=f.



Please enjoy this month's uploads and feel free to reply here with your comments. Also, please note that the "Video Library" has had several additions recently (see previous posts) that you should check out.

New Video: "Amazon Knights Of The Sangreal"

Please enjoy my latest music video, "Amazon Knights Of The Sangreal", on Vimeo.com. Down through the ages women warriors of royal blood have donned armour and taken up weapons as knights. They fought evil and vanquished injustices and we should honor them.

Please click the above title to jump to the video. I have also added it to the "Video Library" here. I would appreciate it if you would comment both here and on the video at You Tube.com, and don't forget to rate it. Thanks.

Wounded Warriors Project

WOUNDED WARRIOR PROJECT

As a Viet Nam veteran, I mourned on Memorial Day for my fallen comrades. But, I'm concerned that many Americans solemnly watched or attended that day's events without understanding what happened to the families of slain soldiers or disabled veterans. Sadly, many concert watchers were thinking, "Thank God my husband, wife, son, or daughter didn't have to fight in that hell-hole in the Mid-East."

The "Wounded Warrior Project" (http://www.woundedwarriorproject.org/) is a non-profit organization, sanctioned by the V.A., that assists the families of V.A. patients. The W.W.P. provides free services such as emotional support, food denotations, performance of household chores, transportation to the V.A., and etc. to needy veterans' families. So, don't just thank veterans for serving; ask them what you can do to help them or just donate to the W.W.P.

Please, on this "Remembrance Day", never forget that someone gave their lives, more now are wheel-chair bound, and many of their families became impoverished, in the defense of our nation.

I especially want to thank America's military women for their devotion to democracy, their bravery, and their sacrifice so that we can remain free. To learn more about what servicewomen are doing today, please visit:

Women Dragon Slayers

Please enjoy my latest (four so far and more to come) video upload to You Tube.com. Entitled "Women Dragon Slayers", it depicts brave women warriors fighting ferocious dragons. I selected some of the finest artworks from my personal collection and added the spine-tingling "In The Hall Of The Mountain King" music to the video.

Please click this post's title to jump to it. I have also added it to the blog's "Video Library". After you watch the video, please add your rating and comments to it so that my video's ranking on You Tube.com will rise. And, please reply to this post with your comments.

Amazons Video

I found an intersting video, "Proud Amazons" on You Tube that I thought that you all would enjoy. I think that you will see some art that you've haven't seen before and you'll like the Batman background music. I added this video to the "Video Library". Please click the link above to jump to the video.

Joan Of Arc: her story and her art

Today, May 8, French Catholics celebrate the liberation of Orleans, France by St. Joan of Arc. Never has one so young been the general of a nation's army nor sacrificed as much as she did for her king and country. So, in honor of this great woman warrior, and in tribute to the people of France, I invite you to view these two links:

1) "Joan of Arc" video from YouTube.com: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjGJyV98jFw. There are many videos on YouTube depicting her, but I think this one is quite lovely and is my favorite.

2) "Joan of Arc" tribute site: http://home.earthlink.net/~werewolfking/JoanOfArc/JoanOfArc.htm. This site is a multi-media presentation about Joan of Arc. Designed by yours truly, it's a summation of her life and accomplishments using text, art, and music.

I hope that you enjoy them and please leave your comments here.

"Wonder Woman - 2009" movie: video clip

If you haven't rented the new "Wonder Woman - 2009" movie, you are missing a real treat. It's an awesome animated work with some great Amazon battles. I think this movie is the finest "Wonder Woman" ever done. Please click on this post's title to view the first ten minutes of the movie.

You will enjoy watching Queen Hippolyta and her Amazon army battle the war god, Ares, and his army of thugs and creatures. It's not the greatest video capture, but it was the only one on You Tube that had the Amazon battle opening sequence. I placed this video in the "Video Library". I also have the gladiatrix fight from this movie in the "Video Library". I hope that you enjoy this movie.
