Judith Beheading Holofernes, 2009. Nostalgia Monday.
A stupid paint-over I did in 2009 of Artemesia Gentileschi’s rendition of Judith and Holofernes with o3o faces. I think it was a thing that Anthony started. I’ll never understand how Poupon is able to make all those crazy classical paint-overs and make them look so natural and integrated.
SERIOUS TUMBLR, SERIOUS ART
Love it.
Hi guys, it’s Shannon once again! Perhaps you are like, “Man, Thursday. Why aren’t you Friday? WHY ARE YOU SO LAME, THURSDAY?!” Well, have I got a lame Thursday cure for YOU! It’s the covers for the ADVENTURE TIME comic’s spin-off mini-series, MARCELINE AND THE SCREAM QUEENS #2! Here, FOR THE FIRST TIME ANYWHERE! Featuring a Sleater-Kinney self-titled album tribute cover from JAB on the A cover, ADVENTURE TIME artist Shelli Paroline on B cover duty, the insanely talented Erica Henderson on cover C, and the AMAZING Jen Wang on the D cover!
The first issue of this six-issue mini-series is out this July, and will be written and drawn by Meredith “Super Keen” Gran! Don’t miss it, unless you want to be SUPER SAD.
oh my glob, this is a thing I’M REALLY WORKING ON
If you don’t love these, you’re not my friend.
Poe Visualized by Harry Clarke
From the 1919 deluxe edition of Edgar Allen Poe’s Tales of Mystery and Imagination, Harry Clarke reached deep into those dark, flinching corners underneath the bed and ripped out the grotesque horrors that lurked within, creating these macabre illustrations that accompanied Poe’s disturbing classics like “The Pit and the Pendulum” and the “The Telltale Heart” perfectly. In the same vein as Stephen Gammell’s Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark monstrosities decades later, these illustrations are sufficient evidence that while some stories can be even more frightening when left to your imagination, it takes a truly visceral artist to give those shadows form and really scare the bejeezus out of you.

Harry Clarke is fucking amazing. My step father owns an original copy of the 1919 Poe book these illuatrations are featured in. I used to sit there and carefully pour over those frightening, gorgeous, intricate drawings. Really, look him up.

That second panel is Rumiko as heck. Should be pretty great.
WOOOAH my goodness you guys!! The Kickstarter for Smut Peddler has just Launched!!!!
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ironspike/the-smut-peddler-pre-order-project
This is an amazing project and I’m so happy to be a part of it!
First of all it’s filthy, dirty, beautiful, sex comics which of course I love.
Second of all every story is either written or drawn by a lady, so it’s all lady friendly!
Third of all every artist in the book was paid well for their work (which unfortunately is a rarity in comics.)
Fourth of all it is FULL of amazing artists that I myself am a huge, sloppy fan girl about!Not to mention if the kickstarter goes over it’s goal all those amazing artists will get bonuses for their hard work. Artists getting paid is something that should be the standard anyway, but bonuses? Hot dog.
I myself have a 20 page, hand painted story in this here book and I’ll be posting a preview, but FIRST I want to see those pledges go up a little higher, haha! So come take a look :D
In which I spoil the heck out of the Mass Effect series. So, you know, spoiler alert.
