Plenty o’ Shout-Outs! (as the kids call them, these days)
November 10th, 2009 |Just because we’re waiting around for Josh’s power cord doesn’t mean that we don’t have tons of good friends with creative projects! I’ve got to warn you though: all of these things involve amazing artists and fantastic writers and creators. You have been warned.
1) My good friend and colleague, the Los Angeles Art Critic and writer Amanda Moret has just released her first catalogue called Remembrance of Paradise Past, which explores two new works from Los Angeles artist Lisa Adams! The catalogue coincides with Lisa Adam’s appearance in a group show at the Riverside Art Museum on November 21, called Edenistic Divergence. It looks really awesome, and I recommend that you check it out, check out some more of Amanda’s articles and more of Lisa Adam’s awesome artwork!
2) Just a reminder that our pals over at Eben07 have been selling their latest publication, Operation: Mongoose, with a unique and totally original Tuna Carpaccio P.I. print inside! For that reason alone, I think you should check it out. And check out their comic while you’re at it! New fans and interest never hurts, that’s for sure.
3) Our pal, the amazing artist Axel Ortiz & his friends at SwalleyLamaVision put together an absolutely gorgeous IPhone application! Between the people at SwalleyLamaVision being ridiculously intelligent and Axel being ridiculously talented, I think this is a game you might seriously enjoy! (if you have an IPhone, i mean). Just check out the video!
4) Last, but certainly not least, we want to do another fun fun plug for our friends Gary Phillips and Manoel Magalhães super-noir super-online-comic Bicycle Cop Dave! Gary’s comics for Vertigo and Boom! Comics have been full of wild twists and turns, and lots and lots of betrayal and seduction. When you get right down to it, you wouldn’t be reading Tuna if you didn’t appreciate just as many crazy twists and turns… just expect them to be a little less funny and little more “Holy Crap!“ CLICK HERE AND START READIN’!
As the Beatles once sang (sorta), you get by with a help from your friends. So definitely click through to our friends’ fantastic artistic efforts, we wouldn’t be posting them unless they were!
