The Trollface train

August 8, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I can’t tell you much about this picture – but I wanted to share it. This scary train was surfaced by a Russian LiveJournal account without any credit to any artist. It’s described as “trollface”. I can certainly see trolls with faces in there! I rather like “trollface train” as a title for it. Checking […]

Duck Tales + Doctor Who = Doctales

August 3, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

Take a cartoon from easier years – Duck Tales. Take a sci-fi series that’s still with us, manages to be British and yet international at the same time – Doctor Who. Mix the two together, folding rather than stirring and season with some artistic talent. What do you get? You get Doctales! You get River […]

The fantastic art of Chris Foss

August 2, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Chris Foss’ hardback of his SF art became available in July. At the time of blogging Amazon UK has sold out. That’s an impressive book! Aliens is one of the projects that helped earn Foss his reputation. With the combination of the 25th anniversary of Aliens, Sigourney Weaver hinting she rather likes the idea of […]

Keyboard skulls

July 21, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Artist Maurice Mbikayi has created a pair of clever visuals with a maship of computer keys and the human head. My favourite is the bone white skull. What do you think? Via Street Anatomy.

Dangerous, freaky, sinister Pokemon

July 10, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

It’s amazing how fan activity around Pokemon is fairly strong. I guess they became a part of people’s lives for very many years, became part of geek culture and left their pokemark. I suspect these critters will leave their mark too. Massive bow to deviant artist Gavin Mackey who drew these – who re-imagined these. […]

June 18, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Just when you think you’ve seen the one mashup that rules them all, another mashup pops up to take your breath away. Step forward to this Lord of the Rings meets high art mashup. Van Gogh’s Starry Night meets Peter Jackson’s Sauron. I call it Van Sauron. Vincent van Gogh’s “The Starry Night” Imagine a […]

Balloon monsters

June 16, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Larry Moss is quite some guy! He was the founder of one the first websites on the internet outside of academic circles. It was BallonHQ.com and althuogh the domainer in me can’t but help wonder if he could have done any better… it’s still shows thought leadership years ahead of almost everyone else. Larry is […]
