/////////////////////////////////////////////// ART LEGEND ASCENDS TO VALHALLA

praise be to Frank Frazetta 1928 - 2010 : : : : : : : : : : : : : :

The paintings Frank Frazetta created in the mid-1960s to accompany re-releases of Robert E. Howard's 'sword and sorcery' stories visually redefined the fantasy sub-genre and have exerted a tremendous influence ever since. Frazetta, born in 1928 in Brooklyn, NY, a lifelong Mets fan, passed away at the age of 82 Sunday May 10th 2010.

While it is positioned as a wholly original work, the aesthetic & tone of S:S&S EP owes much to the works of Howard, Frazetta & those who came after. For an article prepared by a representative of Superbrothers Inc. on this topic that includes a little background on the sword and sorcery genre, please click here.

free presentation & social event in toroto : : : : : : : : : : : : : :

Mr. Brandon Boyer, he of Offworld & the internet website Boing Boing, newly minted IGF Chairman (!!!), a hero of the people, friend to videogame creators, a curator & broadcaster par excellence, will be in Toronto later this month for the very first time to deliver some form of immensely significant communication to the assembled videogame creators, enthusiasts, organizers & slack-jawed onlookers at the third Hand Eye Society social of 2010 on Thursday May 27th at Unit Bar, 1198 Queen West. It is sure to be an auspicious event, occurring as it will at almost the precise moment of the full moon (no, seriously).
