If Looks Could Kill - Graphic Art & Design

Giants are ravishing a city, only to be foiled by “DIARRHEA!” as an upbeat chorus cheerfully informs you while they perform a synchronized interpretive dance.

You’d think Pepto Max would make it available on their site, missed opportunity on their part - this commercial is HILARIOUS!!! >:D

Some of my all-time favorite imagery, once again derived from comic books, the most unappreciated often misappropriated lowbrow artform.

The infamous Misfits “Die Die My Darling” artwork is from an issue of an old Marvel comic, Chamber of Chills, sans cigarette. The artist in me hopes that the original artist was somehow compensated for usage, the realist in me doubts it.

I would love to get my hands on these comics, for the artwork alone. It looks like Marvel’s attempt to mimic EC Comics, originator of Tales from the Crypt, Haunt of Fear and Vault of Terror. If the stories are comparable, then I absolutely require these! *covets*

It seems that little is known about the inner-workings of the man. Here’s what I found interesting:

• His staff labored at the rate of one second of screen time a month during production of Sleeping Beauty - a direct result of his scrutiny and high aesthetic standards.
• He did not go to his father’s funeral, a man described as “cold, rigid and judgmental”
• Pinnochio lost money and Fantasia bombed (in terms of cost vs. box office payoff), thereby eliminating plans to collaborate with Salvador Dali. God-effing-dammit!
• During WWII, Disney made mostly military training and propaganda movies. (See bizarre, child-friendly Mickey Mouse gas mask, shown above.)

Chainsaw Revisited

It’s amazing how many people do not know the true events the movies are loosely based upon - Ed Gein and nothing more. Watching the interviews of local people in my area, most believe there actually was a family of nuts nearby.

Look for more horror-tinged posts as Halloween draws nearer. I am savoring and luxuriating in all the ghostly and horror-themed programming.

Off to work on a seance themed piece! A devil doll is in the works as well. I may offer her up for grabs, unless I become too attached. Pictures to follow when finished.
