Beautiful and slightly disturbing collages by Christina Dervin…

We got the chance to browse a copy of this amazing book, just released by Titan. Great stuff, indeed!

For his eagerly awaited first book, acclaimed artist Olly Moss has had the simple but brilliant idea of putting his own twist on the Victorian art of silhouette portraits. While this lovingly crafted volume might look as if it’s from the 1890s, its pages contain today’s favourite cult characters from movies, TV, comics and videogames. Can you recognise them all?

Silhouettes From Popular Culture collects Olly Moss’s acclaimed ‘Paper Cuts’ series exhibited at the sold-out solo show at LA’s famous pop-culture Gallery 1988. The book has a foreword written by Duncan Jones (director of Source Code and Moon).

Something to break out in case of outbreak. The Zombie Survival Kit by Thinkgeek…

Planning to workout on Halloween? These are for you…

Check out the amazing Zombie Invasion heatmap, a microsite devised by allfancydress.com…

“In an effort to save the country from certain disaster, the heatmap has been devised to help monitor the spread of infection across the UK. The map is driven by three years’ worth of sales data from the wonderful allfancydress.com which sells a raft of zombie related paraphernalia for Halloween.

The map includes a risk level key with the green areas the quietest towns and cities, while the red areas highlight the regions where the zombies are uncontrollably on the loose!

The microsite also offers some useful tips to Halloween revellers looking to survive the zombie ‘apocalypse’. Good running trainers are essential to outrun those ghastly subhumans and a baseball or cricket bat may too be useful to deal with one-on-one zombie combat!”
