ALIENS MURAL IN EAST LONDON
End of the Line challenged the artist "Jim" (no relation) to paint a 4-piece mural based on H.R. Giger's ALIEN, in East London.They post:
Jim was getting itchy trigger finger. We set him a challenge to paint all four panels on Great Eastern St in one day, no backup, no support just a big bag of paint and a handful of caps, Basing the production on one of our favourite film franchises, Alien, by Ridley Scott and HR Geiger, visionaries both.
The epic Alien production proved that the Samurai Painting style ( No Thinking Just Movement) and offshoot of the Shaolin Shadow painting School can cover large areas with style and grace without getting caught up in indecision and monotony. This confident application of paint shuns the status quo of run of the mill photo-realism and adopts ultimate fun as its core principle. You should be able to see the paint strokes, the mistakes, the artists own true style and not hide behind technique and glossy reproduced image. The spray can is king and influences the final production.
FUN!!But I wonder if they realize the mural Jim did was a recreation of RAYMOND SWANLAND'S original art for the 2009 comic mini-series "ALIENS: MORE THAN HUMAN", from Dark Horse Comics.
I love Swanland's art!Tuesday, April 10, 2012

Furthermore i don't own the rights to this material it's all in the name of fun. Dukes of Hazzard for now Dukes of Hazzard for ever. Dukes of Hazzard.......for.......life!!!

SLAYER WINE
Nice! Apparently SLAYER now has its own WINE, sold only in Sweden.via brandsforfans:
The wine, a Cabernet Sauvignon from California, is as uncomprimising and tough as the band. After a couple of Seasons in the Abyss, the wine has an undisputed attitude and a soft nose of dark berry fruits with oak and spicy nuances. Good mouth feel with hints of fresh fruit and juicy, smooth tannins. Well structured and rounded with subtle notes of oak, showing true Divine Intervention. Best company for the wine comes as no surprise, enjoy it while headbanging, riffing or with food, friends and great music. Reign in Wine!

YOUNG JUSTICE: "AGENDAS"
I loved this episode. The art is great... Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Martian Manhunter and Superboy are perfect! This is a great show!* I wish the same creative team would make a 'Justice League' show, too.
*my only complaint is they constantly put the female characters in the kitchen, cooking for the guys. Really??

WANT: ART MONK FIGURE(S)
I'm very excited about the upcoming AUBURN TIGER Cam Newton figure, by McFarlane Toys.
In additon to being an AU Alum, I'm also a born-&-raised Washington Redskin fan (its been a sad, tough couple of decades....). A few years back, they made a Redskins' JOHN RIGGINS figure which I picked up, and have been impatiently waiting for them to make an ART MONK figure - my favorite! Come on, McFarlane - make it so!
Yay, Art Monk!
