Jane, the owner of the Pandemonium Art Gallery where just about all of my originals have been exhibited, made an announcement that the gallery would close at the end of July; while it’s apparently earned its own keep, it cuts into her more successful ventures such as her Youtube painting channel. Alas, I shall actually…
Movies Seen Recently: Rogue One, Rage of the Yeti, Jackie Chan’s First Strike
Rogue One (2016) – The universe of Star Wars is now so broad in the public consciousness that we can start telling — not just for fanboys, but for the general viewing public for which a $200,000,000 budget makes sense — the ancillary stories of the people caught in the huge conflicts. In other words, we can…
Movies Seen Recently: American Ninja 2: The Confrontation, Django vs. Sartana, For a Few Dollars More
American Ninja 2: The Confrontation (1987) – I guess after the events of the first movie, Armstrong (Michael Dudikoff) and Jackson (Steve James) were designated as the Armed Forces’ official inter-service ninja busters, because this movie sees them being transferred from the Army to a small, undisciplined Marine base in an unnamed tropical country (actually…
Movies Seen Recently: The Curse of Frankenstein, Eliminators, Sartana’s Here… Trade Your Pistol for a Coffin
The Curse of Frankenstein (1957) – This was the first of Hammer Films’ Frankenstein films (which led to their other signature “classic monster” franchises, Dracula and the Mummy and thus cementing their reputation as a horror movie company), as well as being the first film to pair the classic duo of Peter Cushing and Christopher…
FanX!
I will be at Salt Lake Comic Con FanX this Friday and Saturday, with a table full of my recent B-movie posters (both 11″x17″ and postcard-size), at table “Teal 6” in Artists Alley, which is… …right where the red dot is in the upper left quadrant. (Click to embiggen.) I am on exactly ONE panel…
Movies Seen Recently: Ninja Apocalypse, The Robot vs. the Aztec Mummy, Doctor Strange
Ninja Apocalypse (2014) – In a moment of weakness I bought one of those “12 Sci-Fi Movie” bargain-bin megapacks (our local K-Mart was closing — big discounts!). This is the first movie in the collection that I attacked. So just so you know, I knew going in that it was going to be crap. The…
Utah names!
It’s junior high concert night, so you know what that means: trolling through the program for made-up names! Syndle Kyler Reyse Shaylee Rylee Mersadies Malissa Jayla Paityn Shayia Kortnee Meleah (I wrote this on my phone, and you have no idea how frustrated my autocorrect got.)
New B-Movie Poster: HitlerBot vs. FrankenStalin
You know that moment in Ed Wood (1994) where Ed is at the premiere of Plan 9 From Outer Space and says, “This is the one. This is the one I’ll be remembered for”? Available here.
New B-Movie Poster: Swamp Spiders!
I’m kinda surprised that this one doesn’t exist yet, actually. It seems so obvious. Available here.
Marsbeast 2.0!
So I had finally gotten the Marsbeast poster design completely finished… and then I decided that I didn’t like the creature itself. It seemed like a last-minute “filler” design, not the focus of a sci-fi/horror movie. Even a bad one. So I doodled around, spliced in a new creature, and… ta-dah. Available here.
