Dork Art: Mondo Army of Darkness

Mondo's got another beauty.  This Randy Ortiz print premiered during an Alamo Drafthouse screening of Army of Darkness last week, and it's one of my favorites of late.  Since the initial release of the film I've suffered numerous reports and rumors of a sequel.  The latest one being that Sam Raimi & Ivan Raimi will start writing AoD2 this summer, but even with the Bruce Campbell surprise in the post credits sequence of the The Evil Dead remake, I refuse to hope until it's on the big screen.  Put up or shut up, guys.

Dork Art: Mark Draws Bruce Campbell

Happy Birthday, Bruce Campbell!  And to celebrate, artist Mark Hammermeister just posted this beautiful painting on his Facebook page.  It definitely popped out on the drab timeline; Hammermeister has been executing some striking color pallets of late, very much reminiscent of the Famous Monsters of Filmland of yore.

And in case you were wondering, here are my personal favorite bits of Campbell goodness.  Obviously, Evil Dead 2 leads the way.

There's no clip from his guest spot on the "Justice" two-parter from Homicide: Life on the Street but I think it's one of Bruce Campbell's finest hours.  Mustached and seriously depressed, his grieving cop represented the best of what this show had to offer: morally complex characters filled with rage and contempt for the beat life.
