Songs to Play at My Funeral

Monday, September 5th, 2011

Continuing with my relatively unintentional theme of “death”, here are Ten tracks including music by Agents Of Oblivion, Alice In Chains, and Blind Melon. Most of them are about death or living or transition or legacy but all of them are songs that have gotten me somewhere. And the image is another one from the original art stock pile that I have from making comics - learn more at http://www.DWAPproductions.com.

mischievism from Nathaniel Osollo @ Magnificent Creatures!!

Monday, September 12th, 2011

I’m super intrigued about Dale Wilson’s upcoming project with Nathaniel Osollo, aka @Eyedraugh. Why the Twitter handle? Because I’m enigmatic like that. Yeah… and because Nathaniel’s most talked-about project (it even got into the LA Weekly blog, ha!) is a comic book where all text comes from tweets. You can check it out here: as you see, the artist has used all that witty nonsense that people have posted very creatively. The quality that I perhaps admire the most in his work is its humor: for example, he has done stories about Kanye West on a monster-infested island and a rogue Jean-Michel Basquiat. Nathaniel’s art can be designer-sleek, but I like it most when he introduces an element of mischievousness and messiness to it. I knew that his collaboration with Dale would be a no-fail option when I saw this piece:

Here is Nathaniel’s description:

This is photo documentation of the Most Dangerous painting ever created. Its power and existence is a great threat to any who view it: beware. I have destroyed most of it for general safety but I maintain possession of the third piece in case I need the paintings power.

And this is the third part… tremble.

Here are some more pictures for good measure. This guy loves skulls!!

Videos by Donovan Vim Crony for DWAP Productions

Saturday, September 24th, 2011

Donovan Vim Crony of EMPOWERD fame comes through again for DWAP Productions with these awesome videos featuring music by DWAP Productions writing partner, Bryan Glosemeyer’s audio persona, DJ Dim Mak. We are stupid-excited about the videos and want you to tell all of your friends.

If you dig what Donovan did here, please swing by his site and give his portfolio a look - he has some great stuff. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again, he’s a crazy-talented guy and has a huge future.

As far as Bryan goes, we’ve got a lot in the works with him. He’s one of the co-creators of Once Upon a Time in the Dark and we’ve got him writing night and day on Once Upon a Time in the Dark: Suicidal Tendencies, a novel with co-creator Dale Wilson. This is the first mention of the novel in public but you can find other Once Upon a Time in the Dark stories, My Favorite Weapon (found in Caffeine Dreams 3) and Kali’s Burlesque (found in Caffeine Dreams 4) in print and digitally.
