Drawing The Venture Bros: Brock!

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

True to his promise, Venture Brothers artist Sephen DeStefano delivered part two of his “How To Draw The Venture Brothers” today — and it’s everything we’d hoped it would be. Even if you’re not an artist and have no interest whatsoever in drawing the ‘Bros, this is worth a look.
Why? Because DeStefano gives us a [...]

Sillof’s Custom Figurines

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

Though Sillof’s website is short on details about himself, he includes some great pictures of his custom figurines, including a full set of Venture Brothers. My favorite: the Monarch, of course.

The good news: if you’ve got the patience to assemble it, you can easily build your own. The design is available [...]

As a guy who’s spent his share of time in the shop, I can attest that a toque is a total necessity when it’s cold. The only thing better, of course, is a cunning hat, which (in addition to announcing your allegiance to Browncoats everywhere) keeps your ears warmer than a toque.
But as toques go, [...]

X-Wings On Ice

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

Gizmodo turned up this fanboy-rockin’ X-Wing sled today. It was part of Minneapolis’ annual Art Sled rally, and (as you can see) it didn’t fare well. Apparently its driver was just as inexperienced with the force lift as Luke and my pathetic new Mass Effect character.
