Friday, May 13, 2011

let me first begin by thanking google / blogger for sucking yesterday and today - if anyone missed the last post i did yesterday it should be up now vs yesterday when it mattered and was being tweeted / posted about.... ahhh the well funded and well oiled machines that dont work....

anyways - i cant stop looking at awesome art lately

easily my biggest distraction in the world right now besides keeping tabs on Van Halen who seem to be gearing up for another run with diamond david lee roth. (note i will never refer to him as anything but diamond david lee roth. ever.)

heres some of the coolness i have been gazing upon during some endless conference calls today...

lately i have digging the comic / video game stylings of patrick brown from Australia

I also discovered the monstrous works of Andrew Barr from canada while looking for an image of the shirt Emilio Estevez wore in the beginning of Repo Man. I thought it might have had the cover art from The Cramps "bad music for bad people" on it which i have been obsessing about lately.

I actually never found that (if anyone see's one - send it!) and instead kept getting irritated by all the crap about Repo Men (a piece of shit jude law forrest wittaker vehicle) instead of what I wanted.

My search did have a lucky result though because I found Andrews takes on that great slice of celluloid as well as these other film inspired goodies. His series on Repo man is awesome - be sure to check them all, but this is my fave

as is this from Pee Wee's Big Adventure which I think I have written plenty about over the last few years...

And another of my all time faves - John Carpenters The THING! starring Kurt Russell aka Snake Plisken, AKA Jack Burton - A fine fine remake of the original B&W flick. Anyone who has seen the movie surely knows this dog monster shot is genius.

my man even went 3D with this tribute to THE MASK - a 3D film from the 60s that I actually saw on TV when they used to run those old Black & White 3D films in conjunction with Burger King or something.

Alrighty then - back to "work"

Revenge of the Nerd

Been getting way back into comics lately. yes "graphic novels" or whatever is the preferred, but to me its all comics and its all good. i love the art and in some cases the stories and characters are great too.

Be on the lookout for more posts on this subject from me including new releases Im reading, some of the comic movies (thor is looking promising) , old ones I slept on, and sometimes just great images, stories, artists, writers and recommendations etc that come my way.

First up the new Spider Island - Deadly Foes from Marvel looks awesome -

Im about to start reading the entire Locke & Key series by Joe Hill www.joehillfiction.com- which after reading one the releases over the winter promises to be amazing. Joe also happens to be the son of the one and only Stephen King. I hate to say that since I appreciate that Joe doesn't use his fathers name and his work stands on its own, but its to big a deal for me to hide, so there it is...

Thanks to my good friend and major comic fan http://twitter.com/Scott_Ian of Anthrax for the suggestion - For those not in the know Scott has also written comics for DC including LOBO and is now working on the forth coming take on THE DEMON clearly he is a master of all things evil.

PLEASE RECOMMEND ANYTHING YOU ARE DIGGING AS WELL - some of the best material I have seen are those that people have suggested.
