The Overlook Hotel by Mark Maddox

Here is a great piece of fan art from an artist by the name of Mark Maddox. He portrays Jack Torrence (as played by Jack Nicholson) from the Kubrick classic The Shining. This is one of my all time favorite films and probably one of the spookiest. The key images from the film are burned into the mind of any person who has seen the film. Yet somehow Maddox brings us a fresh take on the films many character and makes him even spookier. Wow... just wow. You can see the full size piece after the jump...

'I'd Buy That...As a Tee!' Vol 29

Always on the look out for inspiring art... emblazoned across the chest of humanity. Here's some of the t-shirts I have my eye on to do just the trick but, there's only one problem....they aren't for sale yet! Please click the links below to the Threadless.com voting pages for each and give these beauties '5' ratings so I can throw 'em on my charge card one day.

**Please click READ MORE for tee-licious tees!**

'VHS Man' is a Retro super hero in the vein of X-men's Cyclops. I'm not sure of what his abilities might be...but, just keep him far from Magneto!

Jack & Jack collide in a Live-action Tim Burton mash-up perhaps in 'Jack T. Skeleton'

'HURP!' takes it in the neck in a classic way! I can totally see that happen for my pleasure in the next side-scrolling Super Mario adventure.

'Shot First' reissues the tired debate over who's first with the blaster fire. I just kinda liked this ones style. Shoot me!

'I Heart Quidditch' .....I do I do! I do fancy a game of Quidditch!

'QR Link' has busted probably my MOST favorite of the 8bit video game heroes...hiding in the sku!

....and 'It's Dangerous To Go Alone' exhibits the arsenal required to topple Link's foe Gannon once and for all!

'Soylent Green'...I keep tellin' youz......It's (SPOILER ALERT)!!

I hadn't really thought about playin' Super Mario Bros. while trippin' on 'shrooms (and the irony of that) until I saw THIS design...'Mario's Magic Mushroom Trip' ...pretty freaky!

And finally this week, there is ABSOLUTELY NO CONTEST as to what my favorite design is. You may have heard of Walking Dead...and subsequently '(Christopher) Walken Dead'.....but have you ever seen 'Joaquin Dead'? Amazing!! If ever an image should go viral...this is the one!

Tune in next time when I offer Tee for two..and two for Tee! Remember to vote!

A to Z Blogging Challenge - Day #18 - Letter R - Redrum

I will always love Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece 'The Shining' and thought that would be a great topic for my 'R' post. I love the scene when Danny scribbles "Redrum" on the wall and repeats it over and over again to his mother as she tries to figure out what it means. Once she does, here come Jack Nicholson with that axe... and the rest is movie history!!! Enjoy these 5 pieces of 'Redrum' Deviant Art and make sure you click the links to see the artists portfolios... they are great!
