Favorite Songs from TV and Movies

In my previous blogs about music, I’ve asked our readers about artists who should be featured in TV shows and discussed the types of music that have influenced me throughout my life. This time around I’m somewhat combining the two ideas together to highlight great songs for which I learned through some of my favorite TV shows, made-for-TV movies as well as theatrical releases.

I have done my best to keep the list at a minimum because I am a BIG music fan and could easily get carried away with the lists. The songs that are to follow have sentimental meaning to me for various reasons.

Garnet by Emily Warren

Artist’s Spotlight: This month the artist’s spotlight is on Emily Warren, a native of central Missouri, who has been drawing for as long as she can remember, and finds inspiration from surfing art on the internet and from artistic friends. She graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Illinois Institute of Art in Chicago. Shortly after her graduation, she attended Wizard World in Chicago, selling her art in the Artist’s Alley. A colorist from Marvel recognized her work and introduced her to some editors from Marvel. Being persistent, Emily kept in touch with them and was able to land a job with Marvel as a colorist. When her boyfriend completed school, they moved to Los Angeles, where they currently live. She has worked for several other companies besides Marvel, including Jay Company Comics, UDON and Dark Horse. She is currently working on X-Babies for Marvel and Darkstalkers covers for UDON. She also works on personal illustrations like the featured piece called Garnet.
