03.23.07 by Widge @ 12:23 am  Some excellent stuff here. For some reason a lot of it reminds me of what would happen if you spliced together the DNA of Kent Williams and Amano. All the haunted reflection and movement of the first with all the ethereal fantasy elements of the second. I dig it. Categorized as: Art

03.17.07 by Widge @ 8:47 am  After illustrating John Hodgman's 700 Hoboes, those wacky artist types want to do more. According to Boing Boing, they're working on 700 categories of 700 entries each. Maniacs. While the 700 Underwear Clad Vigilante Mutants list sounds fascinating, you know what we've got to go with: 700 Zombies. Check out the images as they show up here. Pictured: Jawboneradio's interpretation of "Mmrgh," #13 on the list. Categorized as: Art

03.15.07 by Widge @ 9:59 pm  A long-time creature creator and robotics animator, Tom Kuebler now concentrates on making life-size sculptures of freaky looking types as well as more famous creatures like Frankenstein's Monster. It's kinda like what would have happened if Maxwell Gaines had been the one to create Madame Tussauds. Categorized as: Art

03.03.07 by Widge @ 11:38 pm  The badass futuristic artwork of Syd Mead, some of it thrown onto Flickr. Even if you don't know the name, you know his work:Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Tron, Blade Runner, Aliens, 2010 and more. And of course, his official website is here. And if you haven't checked out his book, Sentury, please do. Categorized as: Art

02.17.07 by Widge @ 3:21 pm  Rosemarie Fiore takes time lapse photos of vintage arcade games. That one pictured is Gyruss. How many folks even remember Gyruss? Anyway, not only are they pretty damn cool, but they kinda remind me of that three hour long psychedelic sequence in the middle of 2001. Categorized as: Art

02.03.07 by Widge @ 5:03 am  Well, anything that can possibly have Hello Kitty on it has had Hello Kitty on it. Even, apparently, the tarot. Yes, it's an entire deck with Hello Kitty characters. Sadly, I couldn't actually find a picture of the Tower, although we can assume that even the ultimate symbol of destruction and change is cute because, well, it's freaking Hello Kitty. This is also out of print and going for eBay right now for $200. So. Sorry, Din. Categorized as: Art

01.17.07 by Widge @ 11:48 pm  Yes, it's a work of art called "cutting_board," where a chessboard is made from steaks sliced into squares. Video of butchers considering their next move plays out on displays. At least that's what they say. Me, I think the butchers are thinking, "How am I going to get to that meat with me trapped in this display? There must be a way!" Categorized as: Art

12.28.06 by Widge @ 7:51 pm  The Beat clues us into the artwork of Daniel Dociu, and honestly, Heidi MacDonald's description of the man's work is better than anything we could drum up: "His work has a kind of Jawa explosion/rainy night in Hong Kong/ruined hydroponic tank feeling to it." Indeed. Check it out. Categorized as: Art
