Robots + Monsters

Raise money for charity and support indie artists? What can be better than that? Joe Alterio has relaunched his website Robots + Monsters, where you can order a very cool custom drawings – the ones above are our very own Neatorama monster and robot.
Your drawing will be made either by Joe himself or one of the site’s contributors: John Martz, Travis Pitts, and Adam "Apelad" Koford. Portion of the proceeds will go to support a charity (right now it’s Water.org which provides safe water and sanitation to communities in Africa, South Asia, and Latin America) and to help support the artist.
Here’s how to get yours: Link
Mini Monsters and Tiny Terrors, an Art Show by Nathan Mazur

Neatoramanaut and artist extraordinaire Nathan Mazur (he’s the awesome creator of the Neatorama Squid and the I Love Teuthology T-Shirt) is having a solo show at the Zombo Gallery in Pittsburgh. The show will run till Oct 16th, so visit soon if you’re nearby, mmkay?
The show is titled Mini Monsters and Tiny Terrors, which sound suspiciously like my children, and features a collection of pint-sized (2" x 3") paintings of monsters, ghouls, cryptids, and other things that go bump in the night. The pieces are available for purchase, and you can also order yourself a commisions at a reasonable rate. Take it from me, Nathan is one heck of an artist.

Caption Monkey 56: Family Photo


Photo from: Black is the New Black blog (I won’t pretend to know my Japanese monster, so can someone point out what it is?)
Oops – I’ve been so busy that little did I notice we haven’t posted a Caption Monkey game in a while (sorry, Adam!). So here it is!
The game is simple: come up with the funniest caption, and win an original Laugh Out Loud Cat comic by artist extraordinaire Adam Koford. One entry per comment, but you can enter as many captions as you’d like.
For inspiration, check out Adam’s blog (and new Kitteh and Pip wallpaper!)
Update 2/28/09 – Adam has picked the winner: congratulations to MadMolecule who came up with this gem: “Family reunions were always tense after cousin Toshiro married an illegal alien.”
Cheshire Cat Specimen

Alex CF creates ghastly artifacts. Previous creations include an antique vampire hunting kit, and a werewolf corpse. His latest specimen is this rather toothy “taxidermied corpse of an extra dimensional entity known as ‘The Cheshire cat.’” It’s for sale.
