The 2012 Emmys have been awarded, and the hit AMC television show, The Walking Dead, pardon the pun, walked away with an Emmy for Outstanding Prosthetic Makeup For A Series, Miniseries, Movie Or A Special.

Based on a comic book series of the same name, The Walking Dead premiered on October 31, 2010 to an audience of 5.3 million. In 2011, The Walking Dead also […]

The Face Off contestants tackled concept designs for a steampunk video game, Sarah explored Rule 34, and the judges mostly redeemed themselves by sending someone home who probably should have gone home weeks ago. This week I suffered some kind of weird DVR malfunction, so I missed the first 15 minutes or so of the episode. There was a foundation challenge and Roy won it, earning immunity for the spotlight challenge. The contestants were asked to design characters from upcoming video game Dishonored. As much […]

This week’s Face Off challenged the contestants to design superheroes based on a sweet car. It’s a brilliant concept that lead to some of the worst work of the season so far because apparently none of them has ever read a comic book. At the rented porn house, Alana agreed with me that Nicole should not have been eliminated last week. Even Tommy agreed, and he was one of the contestants who might have been sent home in Nicole’s place. The whole thing was a […]

Question: If you had to label your work, what genre tag would you put on the bulk of it? Horror and dark fiction/art seem to be the two big winners here, in terms of how we would label our work, if we had to label our work. Many of us balk at having to label, however, and many of us feel like what we do is specific and not just generally horror when that genre label has such wide-ranging definition. Some popular additional categorizations include […]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. This phrase has been repeated for centuries and there is truth to the words. Does it take a shiny, new structure to elicit a response of awe or reverence? Not at all. Flavorpill proves this fact by giving us breathtaking images of abandoned train stations that span the globe. Once prolific and bustling with people, they are now alone, isolated, discarded to the elements. There is something to be said about the dark arches and broken windows. […]

Horror stories have been written for centuries. Many times they were based on folklore or handed down tales. Horror can be terrifying, suspenseful, shocking or gruesome. No matter the premise of the story, horror is designed to frighten, invoke fear and make the unimaginable a possibility; in other words to elicit an emotion. Along with the fear, horror can often be sad, pushing limits and boundaries with no intention of returning or giving us a happy ending. It is these stories that I will be […]
