Luckily for me, this .jpg makes a very fine iPhone Wallpaper so that will have to do.

It goes on sale tomorrow at Mondo, the Alamo Drafthouse online storefront.

My 10-year-old finished this last week so I read it on her recommendation. It was good. Probably very good for young adult fiction because it didn’t get too explicitly preachy.

Thumbs up.

From this pop-up cafe in Germany. There is a lot of pretty cool art in there, but the Solo print does it for me despite having reached my Star Wars saturation point a few years ago.

It’s worth clicking through to see the rest.

Yesterday I finished “The Passage, by Justin Cronin“. It’s pretty terrific. I haven’t been grabbed like that by a book in a while. As in, several 1am weeknights, a whole weekend lost to just reading between meals and loads of laundry, and the last 5% at my desk at work. Gripping. It belongs filed under “post-apocalyptic future fiction”, but it’s a very well-written entry in that genre.

There isn’t a lot more I can say about it without getting spoily and I think it would best be approached cold. Sorry.

This is really nice. Aaron Horkey and Vania Zouravliov have teamed up to create this Dracula movie poster for the Alamo Drafthouse in Austin, TX. They are both done in metallic inks. $60 for the grayscale, $110 for the bronze variant. On-sale time is unknown, they’re going to announce the open via their twitter (@MondoNews).

It’s been a while since I had to hustle for a poster. I’m going to make a run at this one.

For sale at 20×200.

Screens ‘n’ Suds is back for another poster and beer show on November 6th. I went last year and it was a solid time. You know, because of all of the beer and the posters. And if the beer and posters combo isn’t enough, the proceeds from the S-n-S poster sales and admission contributions are slated to be donated to the Central Virginia MS Society and Richmond area hospices.

It looks like Mike Munter is going to have a poster for the show. His work is noteworthy because of how he mixes spray paint and screen printing. I’m looking forward to seeing it in person. This is a gigposter of his from 2007:

I love the idea. I just wish the print was smaller. I have too many 18″x24″ prints and nowhere to hang them. You can order one here. But I tempted to just print one at 5×7 and send the guy $10.

I like the look, and the price ($25 and $40, shipped) is nice, but I already have too many posters in a pile waiting to be hung.
