Random Art: What’s Old Is Still Old. The Post Is New, Though…

New York City 1984-85 (Custom) More digging through the vaults, folks. Yup, it’s kind of awful, but back in 1984 I was still learning (well, teaching myself how to work a brush and dip pen around in some India ink. I kind of wish I had a time machine, as there’s a load of artwork that I did back then that’s no longer around and a nice chunk was pretty solid from what I recall responses on it being back then. Of course, I’d be time traveling with a baseball bat to get the people who stole a bunch of my work in school and a few other places (well, only if I could vanish into the present and get away clean. Hey, thieves deserve no less than a knock to the head, I say!)… or at least make them BUY the stuff they stole, grrrr…

Anyway, blah and blah, blah. Maybe I’ll post more stuff from the vaults one of these days. I’m kind of swamped at the moment with actual work. This is just some filler because I’m having an off day…

Happy Birthday, Retro City Rampage (Yes, This Means A Nice SALE)!

OK, where’s my CAKE? You can’t have a par-tay without cake and screw that Portal nonsense about the cake being a lie. I’ve got over 40 birthdays that say otherwise, grrrr! Anyway, yes, Brian Provinciano’s awesome mash-up of pure 2D bliss, Retro City Rampage, is a whole year old today and to celebrate, you get that video above and a BIG sale below. OK, not below… just click HERE, have that wallet (and a smile) ready and you’re all good to go. And if you already own the game, good! Get it for someone else or even yourself if you pre-ordered the PC version and happen to own a PS3 or Vita. Whee! Can you tell I just LOVE sales. And cake. WHERE’S MY CAAAAAAKE! Seriously, I have none here and really want a slice. And some ice cream. And a cuppa coffee. And a pony…

Escape From Tomorrow Trailer: Disney Probably Wants To Hold A Little Necktie Party…

Escape From TomorrowWow. If this is as incredibly insane as it looks (and it looks like a David Lynch film gone haywire), I may just have a film of the year candidate to go see in a few days. Randy Moore’s guerrilla-shot first film most likely has Disney seething for any number of reasons, but we’ll see where that goes on the legal front, as the House of Mouse tends to be VERY protective of their image and imagery. Well, not anywhere near ME, as that last movie theater is STILL shut and I have NO clue as to what’s going on. Granted, I could just VOD it, but that’s too expensive for me and nope, I can’t watch it on the iDevices I have in the house, as none are connected and I’m not giving Apple any more of my information.

Hmmm… as this looks like a really bad (and bad-ass) nightmare, I can always try to replicate it by smacking myself with a rubber mallet in the head after taking four ZzzQuil, but I’m sure that will be the last thing I remember doing before waking up at the morgue. Ah well. I guess I’ll have to hols out for a DVD or Blu-Ray release. I was going to say I’d watch this on IFC or Sundance Channel, but they’ve been RUINING their channels with commercials just like regular and some cable TV networks. Boo. I’m hard to market stuff to, so ads never grab me unless they’re terminally stupid or pushing some stuff I already plan on buying.
