James Turner has a new comic up
Hell Lost is about what I see as the inevitable Counter-Revolution in Hell.
Why?
Because Hell sucks.
It smells, it’s hot, and it’s filled with assholes. It’s worse than Fort Lauderdale during Spring Break.
And, sooner or later, some Fallen Angels are going to wise up and ask, “What were we thinking?â€
That’s where the comic comes in.
You’ll have a blast with lots of good, clean fun in the deepest pits of damnation and depravity.
Updates with a new page Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
February 3, 2012Menagerie – Steam Whistle February Art Show
Thursday at 7:00pm until Tuesday, February 28, 2012 at 12:30am
Menagerie  :  An Anthropomorphic Art Show
“Menagerie†is an art show that engages the imaginative exploration of anthropomorphism – the attribution of human qualities to nonhumans. Through visual study, nineteen local up-and-coming artists will explore the idea of anthropomorphism as a form of self-extension. As we “humanize†nonhuman entities, personal relationships are established, and a special – sometimes disturbing – attachment is then applied to the animal or object. This can be seen from our naming of pets, to drawing faces on inanimate objects, to shouting at a car when it has broken down. Through us, the animal/object takes on its own humanity. The result of this visual exploration is a modern bestiary – a collection of creatures, human and nonhuman, situated and interacting in contemporary society.
