7 Questions Indie Artist Edition part 4
This next artist has quickly become one of my favorites. Phoneticontrol is based in San Francisco and has been rocking the costal art scene for quite some time. His work reaches me on a completely different level than our previous battle-artists. His classic combinations of art and electronics make for some of the most creative [...]

As far as the designer toy scene goes there are countless manufacturers and toys to browse. Once you have spent a couple months looking through all the different glorious toys out there, you may discover that there is an equally large world of customized toys! One such artist jumping the ladder by leaps and bounds [...]

There is a top secret group infiltrating twitter. Spymaster is only in the stages of beta testing, and therefore the only way in is to find a one of the “Directorates” or someone already in the game, and beg to join. If you are lucky enough to get in to the game, as we here [...]

Jeremiah Ketner (Small and Round) is a master. For me (and probablly most) art is about emotion. Across all mediums, the emotions I take away from a song, or painting, or drawing, or sculpture is what makes it fantastic or horrible. This is also the reason that I have so much trouble picking “favorite” artists. [...]

It is the age of the literary rock star…Harry Potter has sold over 400 million copies…Twilight over 50 million… both movies have grossed over 5 billion dollars at the box office (not including DVD sales)….the amount of fans of each is incalculable. Imagine for a moment that those characters were one day discovered to be [...]

My all time favorite writer is Garth Ennis. His religious commentary and raping of the modern superhero make for some of the best reading of all time. “Preacher” remains to this day one of the best comics I have ever read, and another of my top 10, “The Boys”, also by Garth, causes that special [...]

Poking around the internet I came across the latest tool in helping lazy parents keep their children from video gaming too much, the Game Dr. The premise of the Game Dr is simple, it encloses the power cord of the game system and puts it on a timer. Parents get to set the [...]

Every once and a while my three favorite forms of entertainment merge, and form an experience that is both earth shattering, and life altering. “Wanted: Weapons of Fate” was NOT one of those experiences. First of all for those of you poor souls that don’t know, Wanted was a comic book [...]

Growing up, I was a very specific type of nerd. You could say, in many ways, I still am. I favored video games over tabletop games, Marvel over DC, and most importantly, Star Wars over Star Trek. Without even experiencing a lick of it, I always dismissed Star Trek off as “bland” or “not nearly [...]

Yesterday I drank too much coffee, so when I decided to go to bed at 3 am it wasn’t happening. I tossed and turned for a bit then accepted defeat and turned on the 360. After poking around the marketplace for a bit I downloaded the Space Invaders Extreme demo to try out. [...]

I remember when I was growing up in my conservative christian elementary school (a tale for another time), they never took art very seriously. Our art teacher changed every year, and the only constant [...]
