Hey you! Are you interested in costumes? Horror? Horror costumes? Then maybe you should apply for the Star Costumes 2010 Horror Scholarship. They’re giving away $1000 to any student studying to work in the horror film industry. They describe their ideal candidate as follows:
We’re looking for someone who can demonstrate their creativity and passion for horror cinema and distinguish themselves from other potential applicants. The best way to achieve this is through a unique and interesting essay.
Head over to their site for eligibility requirements and to apply.
This is pretty badass. The Arkhams are a psychobilly band from Queens (our backyard), and they have commissioned artist Jonathan Wojcik to produce a music video for their song “Valley of the Arkhams.”
I found out about the Arkhams video first, but started digging into Jonathan’s site more, and wow, I was pleasantly surprised to find some really badass stuff.
He has loads of other cool animations, notably the Fear Hole series also featured on newgrounds.
I dig his one-of-a-kind sculptures. Would go nicely on the desk.
Spend some time browsing. Good idea.
I’m always a sucker for someone who claims to be a “perverted master of fish and girls,” which apparently Daikichi is. He’s also a master of just plain gross shit.
Do a Google image search on his name and see how long you can look at his stuff. Those of you into this sort of thing (you’ll know pretty quickly) will be amazed. Those who aren’t will most likely want to kill me.
Not for the faint of heart.
I’ve probably written about the Last Rites gallery half a dozen times on here, yet never actually went. Well, if you’re in NYC the weekend of July 10th, checking out the opening of a brand new group show called Lead Poisoning, along with a solo exhibit from artist Jason D’Aquino.
Very cool and dark stuff. Stuff you should like.
I stumbled across this fantastic horror web comic, Split Lip.
Written by Sam Costello, drawn by a large roster of artists, Split Lip is a nearly-weekly comic, broken up into several different stories which range from bank robbers getting their just desserts to his latest story, which involves more of an internal horror, where the lines between what’s real and what’s in your head is a theme.
I’m going to spend some more time going through the rest of these comics soon (work only allows me so much free browse time during the day), but I recommend spending some time reading these. It’ll be better than a lot of the other comic garbage out there now on the internet, I promise you that.
Buy some stuff from their store. It’ll be good for you.
