04.26.08 by Widge @ 4:10 am  Darren Di Lieto has gotten his work in print...through no fault of his own...and in precisely the wrong way. Luc Latulippe explains on his blog: "Turns out someone scraped the contents of his website and published it into a 350-page book being sold online for $100." Suck factor is definitely high, as the resellers refuse to pull the book and the thing has a fake ISBN and the publisher appears to be fake and the distributor is incommunicado. So they've taken the word to the blogosphere. We found it at the Lady Porphyre's place, who found it via Uncle Warren. Now that you know, pass it on. And, you know, don't buy the book.

04.01.08 by Widge @ 2:33 am  I'm Learning to Share! has posted a great array of Charles Folkard illustrations from a 1921 copy of Songs From Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass that his mother owned. That's the site that previously turned us onto Alice Illustrations Other Than Tenniel, so you can consider this an expansion on that idea with even more illos than Other Than Tenniel provides.

03.15.08 by Widge @ 4:47 am  AlexCF is at it again. This time he's created a badass kit for dealing with any pesky nosferatus that might be lurking around your home and/or business. Or, in the case of the person who commissioned this: your 12th century mansion. I guess if you couldn't manage an 11th century one then that dreary new-fangled 12th century one will simply have to suffice. Ahem. Per the man himself: The case is a large victorian box, very pretty. Contained within is a flint lock pistol, a letter from the previous owner, a bible, rosary, and four grenade-like holy water bottles. the romanian crucifix in the lid is sharpened to a point, and the plethora of hunting aparatus are semi hidden under a wooden lid, the underneath of which is emblazoned with a map of europe, and a small religious icon of st thomas. Check out more pics here. Categorized as: Art

03.11.08 by Widge @ 2:07 am  In a desperate attempt to get somebody like me to pay attention to them, DKNY has allied themselves with the ridiculously talented Paul Pope. Pope, for the uninitiated among you, has done a ton of comic and illustration work, including two most excellent Vertigo limited series, Heavy Liquid and 100%. The new line is to be called 2089. From the press release: The scene is New York City, circa 2089, 100 years from the date of DKNY's creation. The story, like much of Pope's influential work, sets a futuristic love story against the collision of nature and industry. The prints are updated camouflage, and the graphics on tees, jackets and hoodies melds sci-fi with the prehistoric. Prepare for pop art clothing alchemy, in other words. I'll see if I can wrestle some images from somewhere when they become available--because this I gotta see. Well played, DKNY. Full press release after the jump. Full image here. Paul's blog here.

03.11.08 by Widge @ 12:51 am  To find out what happens to this cute little bunny with the sun roof in its cranium and to find out how to determine whether a kid is disturbed or disturb-able, all you have to do is click through to see the inevitable result of playing around with the bunny's brain. If the kid says, "Neat!" then congratulations, he or she could grow up to work for us someday. This creation by Andricongirl. The crochet style is called "amigurumi," which I thought was a type of ritual suicide for when your knitting got completely hosed up and dishonored your family. But apparently I got that wrong. It happens. Categorized as: Art
