Dork Art: NYCC Hasbro Exclusives!

Now this, on the other hand, makes me all kinds of happy.  Hasbro has scored artists Tom Whalen & Dave Perillo to whip up a couple of exclusive prints for the New York Comic Con.  Whalen gives us the Autobots & the Decepticons, while it's Perillo's hand representing the sunny disposition of the Joe/Cobra conflict.  Too cool for school.  All four prints will be available at the show running Oct 11-14th; the Whalens will set you back $50 a piece and the Perillos run $45.

Dork Art: Around the World in an 80s Daze

I really wish I lived near one of Gallery 1988's showroom locations.  I'd love to see these prints in person.  Artists Tom Whalen & Dave Perillo have partnered up for a series of Travel posters entitled Around the World in an 80s Daze.  Genius.  Of course, my favorite is the above Halloween III tribute but you gotta love the postcard greetings from Predator's (& Commando!) Val Verde and Robocop's Delta City.

Dork Art: How To Kill A Monster

Found this thanks to my Daily Grindhouse buddy Heavenztrash.  The Monster Squad's How-To Guide To Kill A Monster by Dave Perillo.  Done in association with Crazy 4 Cult to be sold at Gallery 1988, the print appears to be sold out (not a shock considering it was limited to just 55), but maybe you can find it on ebay one of these days.

I've been holding off watching The Monster Squad this week (launched my October Horror A Thon with Fred Dekker's Night of the Creeps).  It's one of my favorite kiddie horror classics and I'm thinking I'll get to it next week.
