Poltergeist/Garfield mash up


So we have a new episode of Saturday Morning Deathgrip up. It's a Halloween episode and it is something else.

It was Sean's idea to do Poltergeist. The poster is a classic. Pooky was my favorite part of this, really...

Pac-Man as Peter Venkman


New episode of Saturday Morning Deathgrip (Have you listened to us? Why not?)

It is no secret that my favorite movie is Ghostbusters. This turned out to be a fairly lovlingly-rendered watercolor of the sixth floor of the Hotel Sedgewick, but with Pac-Man from the show as Dr. Peter Venkman moments before the most famous line from that movie (Thanks, Carl!)

Seriously though, this is where it came from:

And my background reference;

Watercolor is a great medium. It just feels so nice on my eyeballs...

Captain N: The Gamemaster


Anew episode of Saturday Morning Deathgrip. We watched the Nintendo advertisement... er, cartoon show "Captain N: The Gamemaster." Art was challenging for me, because what the heck do you do with a generic cartoon that featured a bunch of a video game characters? So I dusted off one of my oldest tricks, the photoshopped picture (I used to enter contests on Worth1000 and Fark all the time... I wonder if my things are still out there. I did a great "More Cowbell" arcade game cabinet back in 2003.) Anyway, that's why there's a two-fer for this episode. One is Captain Phillips (by all accounts a serious film about a serious topic) is turned HILARIOUSLY into Captain N (being attacked by Somali pirates.)  the second is of course presented by George Lucas, directed by Francis Ford Copolla and starring Michael Jackson in a 3D Musical Adventure. Also, I don't know know if you've seen Captain EO recently (feel free to here) but after my visit to Disneyland last year, I must say that I was less surprised by the prequel trilogy than I probably should have been.

Anyway, please have a listen to the episode (which doesn't feature me for reasons explained in the episode) and if you're feeling generous, subscribe to us on iTunes and/or maybe tell a friend of yours to listen, too?
