Chinese Lunar Probe

Futurama

Hollyween

I haven't seen this show in person, but there is a great slide show
here
the concept is Hollywood art meets Halloween art. Some of these pieces, I really enjoyed, hope you do too.

Kurt Cobain Film

Variety is reporting that the book Heavier Than Heaven has been optioned and screenwirter David Benioff has been hired to write it. I have been wanting to see a project like this for some time. But I am skeptical, because Courtney is producing and she also had a hand in the creation of the book. But none the less, I think it could be good. Rumor is, that Courtney would like to see Ewan McGregor play Kurt, but fans think Joe Anderson (Across the Universe) pictured here, would be a good fit. I don't know about him myself, but he does seem to be the right age, and does have that Kurt look. Any thoughts?

Storyboard and Concept Artist

Joe Kennedy, graduated from the same art school I went to, Otis College of Art and Design. Check out his work here!

Think Beauty

Impressive fence wrapping.... here

I liked 80's Spielberg better.

Tale of two Blacks

I went to check out "Black Francis" the other night, and was treated to some great new songs. Frank cranked out his new "rock opera" Bluefinger, which is a concept album of sorts, as it is based on the life and death of Dutch artist/musician Herman Broot. They're are some great tunes on the new one including threshold aprehension. which sounds a great deal like a Pixies song, particularly because of the female backing vocals. As a bonus, we got a celebrity Frank Black Fan sighting as, the other Black, Jack Black was there sporting a blonde short hair-do, for his upcoming film "Tropical Thunder".

WOW-WEE

Real Transformer

Some dudes in Nanjing, China built this... but it doesn't transform. Next they are going to make an Optimus Prime!

Moz in Hollywood

Finally saw the great Moz, Saturday night at the world famous Hollywood Palladium. What a fun show, one of the best, I've seen in a very long time. Morrissey is a world class performer. He did everything right, he had the audience screaming for more. Great band, and after a 10 night residency, his voice still sounded good, pretty sweet.

Desert Trip

Last weekend I was lucky enough to get to spend some time with the family and check out Palm Springs. PS is an interesting town in the desert, and one of it's most unique attributes is the fact that you can ride the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway from the bottom of the desert floor, 8,000 ft up into the San Jacinto Mountains. That's my expression, as I fly up that massive piece of granite. Good times.

Nerd Dog

Guitar Hero

These little mini "amps" look great... Me want one! For another look!

Black Francis

To hear a few tracks of the PIXIES album that was never meant to be, listen here, to songs from bluefinger click on the guitar at the bottom page and rock out!

Gucci by Lynch

Make the call... Check out this Gucci commercial directed by David Lynch.
It's a beauty... spot
And of course the making of the magic.

Slave Pit TV

It seems our good friends at Gwar got some new spiffy costumes for the their new tour, check out some cool counter programing over at slavepitTV

Hooray for Heroes

Love the gold breasts and green fingernails!

Yeah, I'm back.....

No, these kids aren't celebrating my return, but I am. Friday, on the way to work, my car died, right as I was crossing a busy street! WHEW, close call... Anyway, all good, and I got a "free" tow from triple A to my mechanic. Had a relaxing time this weekend... and ready to roll this week. The shooting company is in Denver for two weeks, so I should have a better opportunity to get some blogging done.
