Add to My Profile | More Videos

If you’re going to WonderCon this weekend in San Francisco (I’ll be there tomorrow), keep your eyes open for a Hellboy II: The Golden Army preview comic. The 16-page book features a story written by Hellboy creator Mike Mignola, and a five-page preview is currently available online. The comic features three covers — one for each of the main characters (Hellboy, Liz and Abe) — and will be available at special events and conventions until the film opens on July 11th. The Liz cover will be available this weekend in San Francisco. An official press release and images of the three covers after the jump. (more…)

neat-o-rama.com has a…neat look at the origin and evolution of a handful of tech companies’ logos. too bad google can’t evolve from a kindergarten classroom’s perspective.

Kucinich ‘08 motherfucker. Also known as wasting my own goddamn time.

I fed the animals, and I don’t recommend you do the same. But before my rebellious breaking of the rules, I witnessed a time-lapsed video of a UC Davis art installation created by one of Chico CA’s finest artists, Dylan Tellesen. Press that little white triangle in the middle of the square below for one sweet motion picture extravaganza, not doing so could result in blindness. (don’t say I didn’t warn you)

Re: Dylan’s Blog

I am the king of ranting, incoherent-ness and run-on sentences.

Oh come on, gimme some funny captions. Here’s mine: “Not thorny, but horny.”

Today we are implementing two new weekly features here on the old Synthesis blog, to complement our already fucking radical badass Synthesis Band You’ve Never Heard Of…Of the Day!!!111: The Next, which will highlight shit that we think is coming up real BIG, and New This Week, which will preview each Monday one new release set to drop in a given week. While Ryan Prado is busy formulating the latter, I will be bringing you the former…in…about….RIGHT FUCKING NOW!!!

What It Is: What It Is is  a collaboration by former Militia Group publicist / Canadian tuxedo aficionado Paul Maziar and Cold War Kids bassist / Visual Artist Maust. I’d try to explain it, but as it’s getting to be almost 5 PM and I’m getting thirsty for booze, I’ll let the press release do the talking:

Experimental, sincere and “mercurial” prose and poetry—married with equally sincere, gorgeous, deconstructed yet meticulous, typography and photo-driven design. Each facet drawing inspiration from the absurd as much as the divine, with a radical and keenly self-conscious sense of itself—aiming to surpass and uphold the mid-twentieth century and modern luminaries which inspired it, with concerted disregard for the conventions that structure perceptions about design and writing. Unable to recognize the differences between poetry and prose, fiction and non-fiction, the refined and the coarse, in both creation and living. Continually seeking to shift the pathways between unaffectedness and vivacious existence.

Images and Metrical nods to unassailable romantic life. The beauty and oddities, which we cannot ignore—what we must somehow capture, or go mad completely.

Themes including, leisure and the revolt against mechanized living (or non-living), love, derangement of the senses, homelessness, metaphysical mysteries: life, death and transcendence. Inspired by Coffee, The Letterists, Thelonious Monk, Bill Cosby, Jackson Pollock, Bob Dylan, Abraham Lincoln, Tom Waits, Rancid, Dennis Hopper, The Old Testament, The Beats, Warhol and (equally) The Velvets, Doc Brown, Sylvia Plath, Derrick Brown, The Clash, Fozzie Bear, Billy Bragg, Dracula, Bugs Bunny, Kurt Vonnegut, Leadbelly, and all our friends and lovers.

If you don’t think this sounds fucking rad, you’re seriously not doing nearly enough drugs. The book sees the light of day next month, at which time you can expect some more elaborate coverage courtesy of yours truly. But for now, satiate yourself by checking out the book’s Myspace page here.
