10.01.07 by Widge @ 12:41 am  Cakeyvoice, the same maniac who brought you yarn recreations of Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead and, of course, Shaun of the Dead, has now created lovely cards featuring the characters from Dawn and Shaun, just in time to send out Halloween greetings. Awesome. And make sure you go check out her Flickr pool: looks like she's been tackling Hellboy and additional Dawn of the Dead bits as well. Categorized as: Art

09.30.07 by Widge @ 6:38 pm  AlexCF, who continues to wound us with his badass art projects, has revisited his Cthulhu in a specimen jar bit, and damn, but it looks wicked. contained in the box are a series of bottled samples, rock samples, detailed notes, mad ramblings, diagrams, maps, a directional compass, compass, pencil, and of course the spawn of Cthulhu, sealed within a specimen jar. It's the mad ramblings that seal the deal, surely. It's up for auction on eBay UK even as I type this. And alas, I am so poor. Categorized as: Art

09.28.07 by Widge @ 2:14 am  Flickr user Koalajoe has posted some evil looking plush Hellraiser recreations. Not only do you have a Pinhead pin cushion (can there seriously not be one of these for sale somewhere already?) but also a plush Lament Configuration. There are so many ways that such a thing could be abused for photos, it's not even funny. Snuck onto the shelves at FAO Schwarz, for example. Or placed in a crib with a sleeping baby. Or just have it sitting in the center of a crowd of shredded stuffed animals and bicycle chains. I really have to stop thinking about this, you know? Categorized as: Art

09.27.07 by Widge @ 2:41 am  Peter Chan appears to be able to do just about anything, honestly: from crazed sci-fi characters to illustrations you'd love to see in a comic book to cartoony bits to designs for sets you'd love to shoot some noir-horror movie on. It's...rather disgusting how talented he is, honestly. I could write stories based on his work all day long. You can see some of his stuff here at Design Verb and his personal website with even more is here. Found via Design Verb by way of Drawn! Categorized as: Art

09.26.07 by Widge @ 3:40 am Sick, twisted and wrong, not to mention NSFW. I'm describing your mind after you watch this, surely. Categorized as: Art

09.25.07 by Widge @ 12:31 am  AlexCF is an absolute madman. And he's a sadist. He keeps hurting us over and over again with Really Cool Shit that makes us geekgasm until we pass out. For example: Exhibit A: The Lovecraftia explorer box. Exhibit 2: The Necropathic Spectregraph. And countless other things you can find at his site. But now he's really taken things to the extreme with a bio-reanimation lab in a suitcase. Check it out after the jump: Categorized as: Art

09.19.07 by Widge @ 9:10 am  Vincent M. Dantes, Esq. Vincent M. Dantes, Esquire reminds us that not all pirates go around, well, talking like a pirate. So on this most fun of days, give a thought to the cousins of "regular" pirates, the steampunk air pirates. They look just as cool, have more gadgets, but aren't gifted with what we would call "pirate-speak." Just like somebody created "Steam Trek," wouldn't a steampunk/Pirates of the Caribbean mashup be cool? Yeah, I think so too. Categorized as: Art

09.16.07 by Widge @ 11:46 pm  Martin Klimas creates incredible photographs by dropped a sculpture in complete darkness, then hitting them with light on impact and taking high speed photos so that you get the very transition from solid work of art to bits of a solid work of art...thus making a new work of art. Heavy, no? Here's my favorite bit from the interview: The aspect of destroying is not the most important one in my work. Let’s say it is a catalyst to unleash and study this transformation. The hardest part of my work is to smash so many figurines until I find one that truly is showing me something new. I am in that sense a sculptor, but I have only a 5000th of a second to build my sculpture. Categorized as: Art

09.16.07 by Widge @ 8:44 pm  Neil Gaiman points out that the development paintings John Watkiss created to try and explain Sandman to Warner Brothers Films are now posted on Watkiss' blog and for sale. As you might imagine (and the screenplays of Sandman I've read would attest to), few are the people in Hollywood who have an inkling of what Sandman is about. Or how to translate it to the screen. I've posted a snippet of what appears to be a roll call of the Season of Mists cast of characters. That being my favorite story arc, I would love to have this in poster form. I shudder to think what the original artwork must cost. More reason to rob banks for a living, I guess, instead of being a webmaster. Categorized as: Art

09.02.07 by Widge @ 1:10 am  Don Wheaton has apparently worked as a matte and concept artist for a slew of projects--you can read the whole spiel at Lines and Colors, where we found him. We conquer with the fine folks at that blog--you can definitely see some Syd Mead in his stuff, which is never a bad thing. And of course, to give you a sample of his stuff, we had to pick the futuristic Red Bull racer, didn't we? Of course we did. You can check out Wheaton's website, chocked full of art, here.
