X-Ladies '88 by JOHN ALLISON

I absolutely love this. Somehow the absurd costumes seems so much more believable back in the 80s. Makes me think of the amazing Art Adams poster with the 80s style X-men costumes I used to have.

Shockwaves Apparel Effects Workshop

Had a pretty damn fine time at the Shockwaves Apparel workshop in Arlington Heights, IL last weekend. Special thanks to Greg Gaardbo and Charlie Taublieb for allowing us into Shockwaves and sharing their insight and experience.

Charlie sets up a screen to print pigmented discharge and tapes up pinholes.

We were hands on with all the techniques--we did very little sitting back and getting talked at.

Whatever you do, don't trust these three.

Inks for Children's Story Illustration

A work in progress. Hopefully color to come.

Is this compulsive behavior?

I was sitting at my desk imaging Windows 98 to a disk with Clonezilla and listening to NWA, when I looked at my desk, saw this, and realized that I'm either totally absurd or so cool I can't stand it.
