Dork Art: Jason Edmiston's They Live

2013 is going to go down as the year I rediscovered They Live.  It's not like the film ever really left me, but the combination of the Scream Factory release and The Alamo Draft House screening resurrected John Carpenter's pop culture satire as one of my All Time Favorite Films.  I've been thinking about it constantly, and it looks like the internet is right there with me.  Dork Artist Jason Edmiston will be having a Mondo Gallery show in Austen, TX from August 23rd to September 14th.  As usual, I'll be weeping from afar and enjoying the jpegs that come my way.  One of my San Diego Comic Con hopes is that Edmiston will have this print available on the sales floor.  Fingers crossed.

Dork Art: Randy Ortiz's The Thing

We're too little too late on this one.  Randy Oritz's Mondo Thing print went on sale yesterday and sold out in the typical seconds.  So we'll  either have to hit ebay and spend far too much damn money, or just enjoy the jpeg.  It's a real beauty, and I'm always pleased to see artists put their own spin on my favorite Carpenter flick.  I'm real dang sad that DC didn't get it's Alamo until this year, cuz I would have loved to have seen The Thing on the big screen as it was part of last year's Summer of 82.  Oh well, I'm sure I'll check it off my big screen bucket list some day.

Pingu's The Thing

This is the most amazing thing I've seen on the internet all year (granted, we're just three days in but OMG people, this is killer).  John Carpenter just tweeted (@TheHorrorMaster) this most amazing claymation short film from mini-genius Lee Hardcastle.  Imagine the horror of Carpenter's film played out by adorable penguins! Brilliant!
