British deviant artist Simon Patel is the talent behind this impressive wood carving. We’re not talking about a small dragon whittled out of a branch here. We’re talking a scary, full-faced, Predator carved into a tree trunk. The project took some 90 hours to do. That would be nearly 4 days of constant work. If […]

For a taste of what's inside, Andrew Girdwood published a piece on 13th October 2013 noting: "Despite the impressiveness of all the photographs it’s the text content of the book that is most valuable to me. It is here we get the insight into the director’s mind. The Cabinet of Curiosities is co-written by Marc Scott Zicree and Guillermo del Toro himself.". It also was tagged with Reviews.

Glass R2D2 sculpture
How’s this for art meets geek? Team Death Star found this glass R2D2 sculpture. I suspect the Jawas would pass this creation straight by but that would be a shame. The photograph shows all the fine work and joins in the droid; it isn’t just the general shape of Rtoo that’s been created. I can […]

A review of Shadows Over Innsmouth
I think anthologies have become my favourite book to read while I’m travelling. It’s not just because you get a variety of styles to enjoy but because the shorter stories held within are often better structured for reading in fragments. Shadows Over Innsmouth is one hellishly good collection. Authors include Kim Newman, Ramsey Campbell and […]

The stars here really are impressive; Bill Moseley as Kickstand, Adam Savage as Dan, Penn Jillette as Dave-O, Martin Klebba as Little Dead, James Hurley as […]
