牙狼(GARO)ガロ

This weird, big, kamenrideresque thing was showing at Yodobashi Camera in Yokohama on Thursday night outside the hobby section. It flashed the creators names in kanji so stylized that I couldn't read a one. In the end, it listed a “Project GARO”
so I went back and looked it up. Turns out it is a Fewture models associate, Keita Amemiya creation; I think he did one of the more grotesque re-imaginings of Kamen Raider, and he has made other inspiring comics like Red Mausoleum. Here is the official site for GARO; it looks like it will air in Japan this month, but my PSX doesn't see it in the programming guide.

Tony diTerlizzi and classic D&D monsters

The sixth entry of his series on drawings of classic D&D monsters is up. He's one of my favorite fantasy artists. His work tends toward the charming and cozy, rather than others' focus on machismo or melodrama.

sad fate

“Our legendary personalities are evergreen ‘brands’ with the benefit of worldwide recognition,” reads a message on the Richman agency’s website. Guardian UK Article *vomits* Where is the line drawn between “public figure” and “celebrity”? How can a dead person have an agent, particulary where there are no specific works concerned other than a sense of character? It’s one thing to insist that Duck Soup is a work that should be protected (which any more simply means controlled by whomever has the most buX0rs), but shouldn’t personalities and such pass into the public domain as well?
