out of the archive "dusky dames"

J.H Lynch is one of my favorite artists, I have many but he is high on the list.
The first time I saw his work I was a little kid and my grandfather acquired a few of his prints.
My grandmother wasn't to happy about it and made him keep them in the basement/rec room.
My mom called them the "Floosie paintings". As a kid they reminded me of the James Bond women.
My grandfather passed away a few years back and my grandmother recently moved out of the family house.
My mom called to tell me they found one of the Floosie paintings wile moving and that my grandmother wanted me to have it.
I now have a few of his original prints witch are getting quite rare.
I have seen a number of new giclee prints on e bay.
My personal favorite "Dusky Dame" is "Nymph".
Check the Clockwork Orange pics, rad!

out of the archive "the fantasy art of jeff easley"

Ever so often I pull something out of my blog archive.
I originally posted this on Friday, November 21, 2008 and felt it deserved a re posting.

(Repost)
The fantasy art of Jeff Easley kicks ass. He is yet another artist who's book covers burned themselves into my brain as a kid. Sure D&D gets a horrible wrap amongst, well, everybody but you can not ignore Jeff's incredible artwork on the covers of lots of these books.

Fact
Some of his notable works include the cover art of the 1st edition Dungeons and Dragons incarnations of the Monster Manual II, Unearthed Arcana, and Oriental Adventures as well as the 2nd edition core books (the Player's Handbook, Dungeon Master's Guide and Monstrous Manual). He also provided the artwork for Italian power metal band Rhapsody of Fire's 2006 album Triumph or Agony.

more films I've been watching lately.

The Damned United.
This film is well shot with much attention payed to set set design giving it that period vibe that I find so important. When selecting pics for this post I chose one of the family at home. The wall paper subtly sets the vibe for the scene.
That out of the way here is the basic summary snatched for meteoritic.com

Set in 1960’s and 1970’s England, The Damned United tells the confrontational and darkly humorous story of Brian Clough’s doomed 44 day tenure as manager of the reigning champions of English football Leeds United. Previously managed by his bitter rival Don Revie, and on the back of their most successful period ever as a football club, Leeds was perceived by many to represent a new aggressive and cynical style of football - an anathema to the principled yet flamboyant Brian Clough, who had achieved astonishing success as manager of Hartlepool and Derby County building teams in his own vision with trusty lieutenant Peter Taylor. Taking the Leeds job without Taylor by his side, with a changing room full of what in his mind were still Don’s boys, would lead to an unheralded examination of Clough’s belligerence and brilliance over 44 days. This is that story. The story of The Damned United. (Sony Pictures Classics)
Watch it now on net fix Donny says.

I've been watching a lot of films lately.
I was watching netflix so much that I bought a Roku box to stream it direct to my TV.
So I was flipping through my queue and figure it was was time to post a few or my recent faves.

Hitman Hart (Wrestling with shadows)
This is a GREAT documentary filmed back in 1998.
I'm a huge fan of the film the Wrestler and you can see that influence was defiantly drawn from that film. I can remember watching 70's wrestling with my grandfather (Opa rip) when I was a little kid and my dad used to say "Ahh it's all fake!" and Opa would say "No Bobby, it's real!" He did that for my sake and that was the first bond with my grandfather I can remember.
Hitman Hart is the real life story of the man behind the character. It also goes into some detail of his family and father, Wrestling legend Stu Hart. This film is available on netflix watch it now.
