First of all, check out this sweet Where The Wild Things Are fanart by SeizureDemon:


Where the Wild Cards Are by =SeizureDemon on deviantART

Hey do you want to own some art? I know some ways:
Quidditchmom and her crew are raising funds to adopt someone into their family by having an art auction.
And Amy Pronovost, whom I met at the Calgary Comic Expo, is moving and is selling some art cards and such to help defray the costs.
And Noah Albrecht is doing sketch cards to help keep his family healthy.
Finally, my friend House of Duck (and who doesn't love to call someone House of Duck?) is open for commissions as well. He sent me some goodies earlier in the year and I gotta say he is a good guy.

Fanart Friday: Random Fandom

A mishmash of cool stuff I've seen in the world of fan art lately:


Grumpygoat draws a great Wonder Woman for charity. And TimKelly reminds us that Skeletor is way cool. Cowkitty accidentally re-envisions Maleficent. And joewight sketches a sweet walker.

Fanart Friday: The Big Lebowski

A couple of weeks ago Jian Ghomeshi had Jeff Dowd on, the real-life inspiration for The Dude, and reminded us all that The Big Lebowski is ten years old. That's excuse enough for me!





All this Lebowski goodness is produced by the following Little Lebowski Urban Achievers:

Grantgoboom, WonderDookie, Oswald Cobblepot, Boatwright, XAV Drawordie, and amavizca. The Dude abides.

Fanart Friday: Asajj Ventress
Although she made her debut in Genndy Tartakovsky's animated Clone Wars, Sith apprentice Asajj Ventress was created by Dermot Power for Attack of the Clones. They eventually went with Dooku because if Christopher Lee is available you pretty much have to use him. Lucky for us Ventress takes a larger role in the new CG Clone Wars series. I still haven't seen the movie but I've caught the TV episodes and really enjoy them. Good fun.




Asajjs by: anjum, Medox, wardog zero & thisisanton (collaboration), jFury, mistytang (yay misty!) and MercurialMagus respectively.
Plus Mark Brooks just put up a sketch dump that has a nice Ventress in it.
That lightsaber duel between her and Anakin in Tartakovsky's series? Brilliant.
1500th poost!

Fanart Friday: Halloween!

Everyone is a fan of Halloween, and the best thing about it is no one owns the copyright and the possibilities are limitless. So long as they are spooky. Limitless spookiness! Today I just want to direct you to the galleries of artists who specialize in ghosts and goblins.

To me, the best Halloween artist is Sideshowmonkey, David Hartman:


And Bryan Baugh is just as kickass:


Grimbro is a guy who pretty much lives for Halloween- I think he emerges from the grave for 13 nights every October to paint one spook a night. This year's theme is Batman but check them all out.


Grant Gould is no stranger to FF, but did you know he wrote a 3-part illustrated poem for Halloween this year? Hopefully part 3 is up sometime today.


And then there's SavageSinister, who has some beautiful pumpkins amongst other things:

Fanart Friday: Elphaba

So I am finally reading Wicked, by Gregory Maguire. Pretty good so far, though I have never read any of L Frank Baum's Oz books, and the last time I saw the entirety of The Wizard of Oz was likely in 1984 or so.
Here we have some art by lsyw, ArtNerdEm, MontyGog and mizuai respecitvely. As always, make sure to visit their galleries and give them some love.

Fanart Friday: Nightmare Before Christmas & Corpse Bride

This is Halloween! This is Halloween!
Boys and girls of every age
Wouldn't you like to see something strange?
Well then take a look at some fantastic fanart from Tim Burton's two stop-motion masterpieces. Make sure you listen to Marilyn Manson's version of the song while you do!

Fanart Friday: Slipknot

I was kinda tired from work so I was just about to head off to bed- still got one more tomorrow- but I saw this pic in deviantArt's new images feed so here you are (by B04-juice):



The obvious step from here is to show an individual portrait of all 9, and undoubtedly I will, later. For now check out this stunning Chris Fehn, by ilison, more where that came from:

Clown by Alleycatsgarden.

Fanart Friday: 70s/80s Marvel


The other day I found a great picture of Rom, Space Knight by Chad Fuller. I loved that old robot! Actually I think he was a guy trapped in a robot body. Whatever happened to him anyways? Probably still out hunting Dire Wraiths in the cold depths of space. So I decided to do a feature on the old comics from my youth that are mostly forgotten today. Like the world's best non-team, the Defenders! Or what about Man-Thing? Don't forget Iron Fist.

I think She Hulk has always been around but here's a picture of her anyways, by Zanker. Then there's Spider-Woman (seen here rendered by Jerry Carr), I think she's been revived lately. Longshot hasn't been, but BDPatton tried with this cover he submitted to Marvel. Looks like he married Dazzler and they had a baby.

Fanart Friday: Clone Wars
The best thing about the whole prequel trilogy was the Clone Wars Animated Microseries that Gendy Tartakovsky did. Though he isn't involved in this new CG Clone Wars series, the aesthetic is more or less the same so despite some negative reviews I am excited for this new chapter in the Star Wars Saga.


This row: Grant Gould's Anakin; Dennis Budd's Yoda; Trev Murphy's Obi-Wan; and Shoomlah's Ahsoka Tano redesign.


And can't forget the clones! This row: Ragelion's Clone cards and Asajj; in between those is Galeart's Incoming Storm; and Grant Gould and Katie Cook teaming up for a Yoda/Padme scene.
