A taster of the second issue...

RIP Tony Curtis

'They gave me away as a prize once - a Win Tony Curtis For A Weekend competition. The woman who won was disappointed. She'd hoped for second prize - a new stove.'

HOWL!

Pin-up for the Fall of the Wolfmen, the second volume of the gangster and lycanthrope mash up from small press giants, Dave West and Andy Bloor.

Old and New Sketches

Trophies

Cover art to the standard edition of Sam Costello's Split Lip Volume 2; The Harvestmen and Other Stories (9 in all).
Much yucks for your bucks. Comes highly recommended.

I was thinking about Uncle Creepy, Albert Steptoe and grave robbing.
Often do.

Inception

Wish I'd fallen asleep and dreamt i was watching Toy Story 3.

By pure chance we walked past the Bristol City Museum and Art Gallery...

'Art from the New World showcases brand new work by 49 of the finest contemporary artists, under the curation of the Corey Helford Gallery in Los Angeles.

The selected artists are part of an exciting new movement that encompasses all forms of media and art - painting, sculpture, printing, stencil, photography and digital art. The exhibition exposes an American art scene that is bold and provocative, with images expressing dark humor, a longing to reconnect with innocence and a fresh look at the 'ideals' of glamour and beauty'.

Among them; Dave Cooper, Shag, Camille Rose Garcia, Todd Schorr, Mark Ryden, Jason Shawn Alexander, Coop and Kent Williams.

It's delirious, delicious, weird and wonderful work, where underground becomes otherground and the lowbrow meets highbrow.

It will leave your brain all tingly.

If, like us, you've not seen this art outside Juxtapoz magazine, books or prints, and you live in, or near Bristol, you really REALLY shouldn't miss this opportunity.

You've got till the 22ND of August.

Infectious Reading

Since history lessons at junior school I've always loved woodcuts.

The expressionistic shapes and stark use of light and dark undoubtedly had an influence on the way i draw. I still look to them for inspiration, trying to bring that drama and immediacy to my art.

Suzanne knows me well...

A gift; The London Folio Society edition of Daniel Defoe's A Journal of the Plague Year , beautifully illustrated by Peter Pendrey, a rare treat indeed.

Let me share...

For Your Attention

'By now some of you may have heard that the historic Bray Studios in England, the home of Hammer Films from 1952 to 1966, and in use as working studios since, are in imminent danger of demolition...'

Turning Tiger

Pin up for Renegade Arts upcoming print collection of the two-part digital comic Turning Tiger, written by by Richmond Clements and drawn by Alex Moore.

It's a fun mad science robot vs. robot action romp, suitable for all ages, reads like a Spielberg and John Badham crossover movie that never got made.

There's a free 4 page preview at myebook , with an option to download the first issue for just 99 cents.

The Voice From the Tomb

Over at the From the Tomb blog spot you'll find me in Deep Discussion with Decapitated Dan Royer.

Not that deep really, bit of a laff, but you'll still learn more than if you read my Wikipedia entry.

Cheers, Dan!
