SPACE LAB 9 / ANDREW BARR: MONSTER PRINTS!

Well, well, well, looky here! I've teamed up with the space wizards at SpaceLab9 to create some limited edition monster screen prints! They'll be available at New York Comic Con in October, so you should probably make plans to go there. I won't be there but the art will and that is more important.

Happy National Canadian Film Day!

Dead Project: Dayglo Necros Figure

Here's a look at a project that may have died on the operating table. Some time between the recording of the Calabrese albums Dayglo Necros and Born with a Scorpion's Touch, the band was thinking of creating an action figure based on the character Dayglo Necros who appears in a couple of their videos:
and Jimmy Calabrese and I went back and forth on the design of the figure. Unfortunatelyjust as things were lining up, The Brothers Calabrese started moving into a heavier more serious sound for their most recent album (Lust for Sacrilege) and a couple of the more playful projects we were working on hit a bit of a roadblock. Sadly Dayglo seems to have been put into limbo for the time being.
Since Jim and I are still thinking of maybe collaborating on some art toys in the future we thought we'd let you see what may have been (could still be).  He'd have been about six inches tall, probably molded in glow in the dark resin or something. like a giant M.U.S.C.L.E thing. And I'd like to hear if you would have been interested in buying one of these Dayglo figures, whether you're a fan of the band or not.

The Best Films of 2014

Not that anyone cares or anything but since It's no longer 2014 I've decided that this is my list of the 10 Best movies of 2014 (at least the one's I've seen). Some people think it's not fair to list movies that were only in festivals but that's too bad for them. They should have tried harder to go see movies when it was possible to see them, it's not my fault.
10. Fury
9. Borgman
8. The Edge of Tomorrow
7. Godzilla
6. Cheap Thrills
5. It Follows
4. The Guest
3. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
2. WolfCop
1. The Editor

Honestly WolfCop and The Editor are too close to call, I give the Editor the edge, just because I managed to see it twice.
Honorable mentions: What we do in the Shadows, Guardians of the Galaxy, Zombeavers, Wormwood, Captain America: Winter Soldier, ABCs of Death 2, The Lego Movie; all movies I really enjoyed but were just slightly squeezed out by the other movies in the list and really the list is probably more accurately a bunch of 3 or 4 way ties, but I wanted a top 10 so that's what it is.
