Holy shitballs, these posters are cool. Available here at some random time TODAY with limited runs of 275 (150 for the variant posters), so you’ll have to be quick (and a bit lucky) if you want one.
First American Honda Restoration
The Honda N600, serial number 1000001. This is the first of 50 Hondas initially sent to the US in 1967 to see if they’d sell.
SPOILERS: They did.
This year marks our 60th anniversary in America. To commemorate this milestone, we’re looking back at the restoration of our very first car imported to the U.S. Watch Tim Mings bring Serial One back to mint condition before it went on to live in the American Honda Museum forever.
Kim Jung Gi
South Korean artist whose superpowers include an apparent photographic memory (which he denies) and the ability to draw in ink with no reference lines. And super-speed, of course.
Nerd Culture?
Unfortunately, the new Hellboy sucks ass. So why not watch Paolo Rivera draw and paint him instead?
Monsterpalooza Added To Bucket List
Starts tomorrow. Shit!
This Isn’t Happiness
Or is it?
Artist Peter Nidzgorski adds suggested phrases to old romance comic panels as social commentary. Hilarity ensues.
Bob McLeod Draws Spider-Man
Bob McLeod was another comic artist I admired in the Eighties. I got to meet him at the first Memphis Comic Con, way back in 19 and 82.
He autographed my copy of New Mutants number 1, and somehow refrained from killing my spazzy friend who almost spilled a glass of water on a commissioned piece McLeod was working on at the time.
Thanks!
Whichever one of you bastards sent this, I appreciate it.
The Art Of Mort Künstler
Here’s some more incredibly manly paintings for you rugged bastards!
From Design You Can Trust …
Mort Künstler is best known today for his vivid paintings of scenes from American history, specifically the Revolutionary War and the Civil War. These works have been featured in books and calendars, and spotlighted in exhibitions around the country.
Less known is Künstler’s early work in men’s adventure magazines, a unique genre that populated newsstands from the 1950s through the late ‘70s. Also known as “men’s sweats,” because most covers featured a sweaty, shirtless guy facing some type of peril, scores of adventure titles vied for a reader’s attention with eye-popping headlines such as “Death Orgy of the Leopard Women” and “Weasels Ripped My Flesh!”
