Monster by Mail: Summer of the Super-Villain

Len Peralta--he of Jawbone Radio, creator of that badass zombie clown for Red Nose Net, and artist for the children's book co-written by Ken Plume and myself--is the man who sends you a Monster By Mail. The normal shot is this: you name your monster and Len draws it. For an extra tenner you can get a vid of said drawing taking place (I guess so he can prove it's not done with robots or something).

This summer only, he's throwing a new theme out there: it's the Summer of the Super-Villain. You provide him with the super-villain name, he'll do the rest. Nice. For examples of Len's monsterful prowess, check out the site here. Tell him we said hi.

Brian Dettmer

  • So we've actually mentioned Brian Dettmer's work before. I didn't know that he was based out of Atlanta, though. That's interesting. Also interesting is his more recent work in book sculpture--check out that bookworm there. It's like David Cronenberg decided to do a children's show pushing literacy, isn't it? Found via Boing Boing.

    Sheep Art

    Comments on this: 2 so far. Add your own.

    So what happens when you wrap sheep (humanely, Dindrane, calm thyself) in smart LEDs then herd them around with dogs and calls to create various bits of art? You get "Extreme Shepherding" by the BaaaStuds:

    Direct link for the feedreaders.

    They decided to go with sheep after fourteen attempts to do something similar with housecats over the course of six weeks resulted into forty-one different injuries, two suicides and the digital equivalent of Jackson Pollock doing shots with Salvador Dali.

    I tried to do an "O Christmas Sheep" joke but it failed on multiple levels.

    Found at Ed Baker's Twitter via Robert Llewellyn.

    Zombie Clown original sketch for Red Nose Net

    So Len Peralta, your friend and mine, has put his original sketch for the limited edition zombie clown print on eBay--with the proceeds going to Comic Relief via Red Nose Net just like the prints were. It's not everyday you get fine original signed zombie goodness, is it? I think not. Go and bid here--it's for a good cause, after all.

    Outbreak by Jason Chan

    So looking through the popular posts last year in our Art category, I saw that Jason Chan's "Outbreak," where kids face down an approaching horde of kid zombies on a playground, was one of them. And I can't tell you how much joy that piece of work gives me. So I remembered how I had asked for prints. I went to Jason Chan's site. Guess what he's doing?

    Selling prints of the thing. Freaking. Badass. You can find it here, in three sizes. And for a decent price, I might add. Tell him we said hi.
