Anne Frank Story Is Now A Graphic Novel
The Diary of Anne Frank has been a literary staple throughout middle schools across America, if not the world. This is mostly because it's one of the most heart-wrenching biographical stories ever known and it's from a young girl's perspective. Now the Anne Frank House Museum is hoping to bring Frank's tragic story beginning with her 13th birthday and ending with her death in a Nazi concentration...
The AIGA Judges Books By Their Covers
Illiterate? I know I am. This post's text is generated through a new voice-activated text-creation program called Jerkifier™. It works by having the user say what they want typed into their computer's microphone and then the program does the rest. Jerkifier's™ distinction from other voice-activated text-creation software comes from its uncanny ability to turn whatever you say into text that makes you sound like an ass. Since the creation of Jerkifier™ I've lost $700,000, but have gained infinite wisdom in the art of seduction. See? The program works, you clod! And since your illiteracy has affected your ability to read
Being Drunk Don’t Make Good Words Get Writed
Ah, drugs and alcohol. Man's best friend through all of the good times ("Got a 7¢ raise at work! Yippee! Celebration ahoy!") and all of those bad times ("Can't believe my damn wife ditched me for my truck."). For most of us, they're even there for you in between those times (Timmy's little league championship game). But apparently my 8th grade English teacher was wrong. Neither make you a better writer. According The Independent,
Out of Town. No Posts Today. (Except This One, You Smartasses)
As much as it pains me to do so, I must inform you that there will be no other posts for today. I will be out of town and away from computer-kind (other than my iPhone, but who writes blog
The Bruce Campbell’s Soup Company Presents…
...FOUR NEW FLAVORS!!! After seeing it from SCI FI Wire, I thought it was pretty cool, so I couldn't go without re-posting. But apparently, yesterday was Bruce Campbell's birthday. This is relevant to me because my teenage years were chock-full of Bruce Campbell's films and TV shows. Strangely enough, most people still know him as Ash from the Evil Dead trilogy, but the man has done a great deal of film and television work, most recently playing Sam...
Comic Creators Collaborate for Unofficial “Dexter vs. Jason vs. Hack/Slash” Comic Mashup
The guys over at ComicsAlliance (one of my favorite blogs), came across this awesome one page comic mashup featuring killer extraordinaire characters Dexter (from Showtime's Dexter television series), Jason (from Friday the 13th fame) and Cassie and Vlad (from Tim Seeley's Hack/Slash comic series). With writer Scott Allie, artist Tim Seeley, colorist Dave Stewart and letterer Nate Piekos combining their talents, its only obvious that they would have concocted a concept that's this kooky and fun. Unfortunately, all signs point to this project being nothing more than...
Gorillaz and Alan Moore Are Set To Collaborate
Did you ever wonder, "Hey, why don't Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett of Gorillaz explore gnostic themes?" Definitely a potent question that I've never thought to ask, myself. Well, now they are more than likely to touch on gnostic ideas and explore some aspect of humanity that plagues us all now that Alan Moore is on board to help with Gorillaz' new opera project. According to NME.com, Moore, writer of such brilliant graphic novels (Watchmen, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, From Hell - all of which were turned into shitty, bombastic Hollywood films), will work on the yet-to-be-titled opera's libretto. With...
This Is One Way To Avoid Throwing Away Styrofoam
With the disposal of Styrofoam being an environmental health concern, it's always hard to determine what to do with your Styrofoam cups, materials, what have you. But, if you're extremely self-conscious about your life affecting Earth (such as my, smugly liberal, yet good-looking, Earth-friendly self *turns to Camera 2 to reveal a casual grin and a wink*), you more than likely don't even deal with Styrofoam products. Though, there are those cases like when you get take-out where the only thing they have to send it in is Styrofoam or when you simply just can't finish your meal because you...
Hyper-Realistic Sculptures Invade My Mind
Sam Jinks is a sculptor. What does he sculpt? Well, usually, it's either a surrealist's moment of clarity or the vivid, intense corners of your nightmares. Jinks has a background in film and television effects, sculpting commercially for 11 years, but for the last 5 years he's been working on his art full time. His silicon-based sculptures make for potent visuals, creating powerful thoughts about humanity in general. Well, for me, at least. Austrailian Edge has an interview with Sam Jinks, discussing his artistic background and his current work. The link is NSFW due...
Marvel Comics Partners With Panelfly To Distribute Comics on iPhone
Love comic books, but hate all of that tedious labor it requires to turn the pages? And don't you wish that comic books' pesky, easy to read print was a lot smaller and digitized? Well, Panelfly is here to help by partnering with Marvel Comics to help slowly and methodically eliminate the existence of printed copies of comics by offering an application available for download on the iPhone. The application to download is free, but each issue will cost you $0.99 to download into the Panelfly reader. The current Marvel issues set up on Panelfly are the original...
