Harry Clarke…
By chance found a blog with some amazing illustrations by a Mr. Harry Clarke. These are all taken from a collection of stories by Edgar Allen Poe titled; Tales of Mystery and Imagination(1923). Scans and kudos go to A journey round my skull. The images speak for themselves.
The Big Active…
Following the peanuts from one website to another, I stumbled across bigactive.com today. They represent a huge slab of talent and have a great online folio for you to peruse at your leisure. Some big name stuff, but some lesser known but equally as impressive work from artists all over the globe. Nice big tasty link lump.

Your bike is still burnin’ man…
So, as a fan, geek, otaku, whatever, of Katsuhiro Otomo’s Akira; I have found it very hard to contain my excitement for the new Bandai/Medicom project. Set for release in a few months is a 1/6 scale version of Kaneda’s bike tricked out with twin coil, double rotar ceramic whatsimis and light up displays…and a 30cm articulated figure of the anime’s anti-hero Kaneda. Sadly, this set is strictly for the fanatical weighing in at around 600US for the set…(it’ll eat you up and spit out the seat sport).
昔からずっとアキラのファンなんです。大好きっす。新しい金田のバイクとフィギアがもうすぐ発売する。欲しい。はい、マジ欲しいです。１／６のスケールで登場。この空気感思い出したい人kokoda.
Something curious…
I often visit a site called Changethethought for inspiration and I always find something interesting from the daily updates. Today was Japanese artist Minchi, and the art coming from Hyogo was so good I thought it worth repeating. Here is Minchi’s website and here is the blog. English and Japanese. Fantastic. It’s like Wierd Science with sack fulls of fizzy sherbet. (Kudos to Changethethought, of course).
霊感を養うため、時々このChangethethoughtサイトを見ます。毎日刺激的なアートがたくさんアップされます。今日見つけたのは、日本のアーティストMINCHIさんです。ここはMINCHIさんのサイト。カラフルでとても不思議な世界。キャンディや色々な食べ物と人間の体の中身をうまく融合させて一つのアートを作りだしているね。英語と日本語も書いてるので便利だな。
