Banzai Kid Part 3

I had an idea based on some of the lyrics and themes of some songs (well what would it be based on?).

Like lots of songs these are mostly about extremes of emotions love, anger, worries blah blah. I wanted to play on the anger in some of the songs mainly because this is a side to The Banzai Kid you'll only really come across in his songs.

He is a mostly a calm and quiet person but it seems he uses songs to vent some of his pent up anger. “I tried to give you a knife in the back” are some of the lyrics from “Appointed Part 2”.

What I want to show is “the beast” overtaking and overpowering The Banzai Kid.

I thought I could have The Banzai Kid stalking something/someone (unseen) with a knife whist he in turn is being stalked by his own shadow (“the beast”)

This refers not only to anger but all held back emotions that build up, envelop and consume. Much of the album seems to be about this sort of thing.

This is a mock up of what I mean. I will work on making the shadow more imposing.
