We’ve been big appreciators of Os Gémeos for awhile now — they’ve far outgrown the limiting graffiti artist tag (as they began years ago in São Paolo) and have progressed to the level of pure artist. Since first coming across their dream-like work in Brazil — and being blown away on the spot — I’ve […]

One man's perspective of San Diego Comic-Con 2010
The San Diego Comic Con is quite unlike anything you’ve ever experienced before, be thee commoner, X-Man, vampire, mutilated zombie, Star Wars cretin or garden variety fanboy. It is the ne plus ultra Mecca for geeks worldwide — but you don’t need me to tell you that. We attended it last week and had 3 […]

Eric Powell's cult comic makes the leap to the silver screen
It’s too early to call quality on this one, but seeing as The Goon is produced by David Fincher odds are stacked in its favor. Not only is the animation pretty remarkable, but its also very loyal visually to the original material. Based on Eric Powell’s 1999 cult comic from Dark Horse, The Goon follows […]

The director of 300 and Watchmen goes for the celluloid hat trick
Saw the trailer to Sucker Punch at Comic Con this past week and boy does it look like a doozy. Not only have you got Madman’s Holy Movie Trinity involved (samurais, dragons, machine gun-toting females), but it’s actually directed by very capable hands. I am a legitimate fan of Zack Snyder’s, who I had hoped […]

Tshirt and poster from one of LA's premier comic artists
We’ve been big fans of Jim Mahfood even before he rocked our launch party last August. Prior to that we’d collaborated on a 16-page comic book for BPM magazine, and ever since he’s been one of our favorite LA artists. Whether it’s working on Kevin Smith’s Clerks or Marvel’s Spider-Man comic books, doing murals for […]

Art, Music, Design and Free Booze...All night long!
Well, it’s with great surprise and gratitude that we announce that the list for our Lost In a Supermarket Launch Party is now closed! The response was utterly amazing and beyond our expectations, which leads me to believe that the denizens of LA are: A) rich arbiters of well-appointed tastes B) appreciators of design, art, […]
