Julius

The world of music is an almost terrifyingly large place that grows and dimishes (in almost equal measures) with time. As cultures change they both shed and develop styles and, unless older genres are documented, they run the risk of vanishing into the historical ether forever — even more so in cases where musical instruction [...]

Tele1

Getting a portrait of yourself painted has, traditionally, been a pretty arduous process. Meet the artist, strike the right pose (I always go, as I’m sure many others do as well, for a garden gnome tucked under one arm and boxer briefs worn over a pair of denim capris) then sit and wait endlessly while [...]

Riddle Logo

Hallowe’en is still almost two months away but Riddle of the Black Cat, a Kickstarter-backed short film based on a classic Edgar Allan Poe tale, is bringing the spook a little bit early this fall. Rather than simply look to the famous American writer for tonal inspiration (like, say, nearly every one of the works [...]

Art Wars Title Screen

The story is a common one: an idealist artist moves to a major urban center (say, New York City) where they expect to be discovered but then must walk the shakey tightrope of balancing their financial and artistic ambitions. This is a tale that’s been well tread in film and literature but Art Wars, an [...]

Stripped

As familiar as we all are with iconic cartoon characters like Garfield or the assorted blood pressure raising one-panel jokes of Family Circus, most us don’t know much about the actual women and men behind them. Stripped, a full-length documentary from Small Fish Studios (in partnership with cartoonist Dave Kellett and filmmaker Fred Schroeder) looks [...]

IndieCade Logo

The most interesting game designs come from independent developers. Free of stockholder expectations and, in many cases, massively expensive design documents, indie companies are able to push the medium forward in a manner that their blockbuster siblings usually fail to. IndieCade, a Culver City, California based group that is dedicated to supporting indie videogame developers, [...]

FUBAR 2 Cover

We’re fast approaching the point of complete zombie media saturation but, when a fun enough idea featuring the walking dead comes along, I suppose it evidences that there’s still a bit of mileage left in the genre. FUBAR, an anthology of zombie comics set within the framework of the latter half of World War II, [...]

Metalachi Logo

Sometimes something will come along that you’ve always been waiting for without even knowing how much you wanted it. This is the case with Metalachi, a Los Angeles based group that takes two great flavours — metal and mariachi music — and swirls them together into the sonic equivalent of a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup. [...]

Robots Poster

Ice cream and robots are two great tastes that, not unlike orange juice and mint julips, aren’t expected to go well together. Addo Games’ Burton and Becca Posey are reconfiguring our expections however, working hard on an iPad/iPad2 game that (at last!) combines sentient technology with dairy-based treats. Robots Love Ice Cream has all the [...]

Circumnavigate

Madéleine Flores understands that the problem with Magellan, Drake, Raleigh, Polo and other famous explorers is that they failed to record their discoveries as comics. And so, to fix this issue, the intrepid cartoonist is setting out on her own to travel the globe and sketch out what she finds — through a Kickstarter campaign. [...]
