  • “Not You” poster by Kenntwofour

    A while back the artist known as Kenntwofour, created an amazing print for a self portrait show at the Mint Gallery in Atlanta, Georgia (see here). He has now released that image as a limited edition silkscreen. “Not You” is a 19″ x 25″, one color screenprint on 120lb cougar bright white cover stock. Signed and numbered in an edition of 40 for only $20 plus shipping. It’s an amazing looking image, and is sure to look outstanding in any type of black frame.

  • Happy New Year

    I hope everyone had a great time this New Years Eve. 2009 had some bumps here and there, but I have a feeling that this next year will be amazing. The site will have a slight facelift in the coming weeks, nothing major. A couple of new projects I have been working on will also be revealed in the next few months. I am really excited about them and hope that they work out just as planned.

    The Creep Machine will be three years old soon, thanks for all those that keep reading the site, hope you stick around for the next three years.

  • Artist Profiles: Esra Roise

    An illustrator out of Oslo, Norway, Esra Roise has a great style and a unique way of looking at things. Most of her works seem to be made with pencil and watercolor. I really like the contrast created by the pencil and bright colors and texture created with the paints. Esra has already created some works for publications such as Vice magazine, and is open for more. Head on over and take a look at all the work that is offered.

  • “Helpmeat” series by Brett Despotovich

    Brett Despotovich is an artist out of Canada, and also runs the Toronto Dr. Sketchy’s. Brett recently informed me of a new series of works that he has just finished entitled “Helpmeat”. Each piece is charcoal and conte on mylar, 8.5″ x 11″, and there are 15 in total. With the background as black as it is, and the figures rendered in monotone, it is really helps that the poses are as dynamic as they are. Some figures also have a mix of muscle and bone showing through, it’s a great effect and really adds to the works. You can find all the works in the gallery, and it looks like there is a calendar with the images available as well.

  • Tribute to Dan O’Bannon, R.I.P.

    On Thursday December 17th, screenwriter Dan O’Bannon passed away after a 30 year battle with Crohn’s disease. Dan is known for writing such movies as Alien, Aliens, Dark Star, Lifeforce, Invaders from Mars and my favorite Return of the Living Dead, which he not only wrote but directed. I have watched his movies a hundred times over, and if your like me they were influential in your love of horror as well as zombies. Oh and what young guy can forget the cemetery scene with Trash played by Linnea Quigley? So here is a few works of art inspired by some of the movies Dan gave us. If you know more, please let us know in the comments.
