THE BOOK: [link]

This new volume has some amazing work in it. I thank all the contributing artists that helped make the book and gallery look awesome. Great work!
Much thanks to these deviants:
and so many others !
I hope you all pick one up! They make great gifts!
I'd like to also announce that one of my MetalMan pieces made it into the forthcoming Spectrum 15 art annual [link] Here's the piece [link]
I couldn't be more excited about that!

Respect.

Doesn't ask and doesn't credit...

Not cool.

I've seen it happen around here often, but it never happened to me, until now.

Vidsharma [link] has worked over an image of mine without my permission, nor does she give me any credit as originator of the work. I'm no hardass, and had she asked I probably would have said 'go for it, let's see what you got!' But it's really just plain annoying.

My original is over there to the the left. Here's hers:
[link] but has been taken down.

What I don't understand is how people can find work here and rework it to post in their page HERE, like people won't notice. It's mindnumbing.

Art thieves should be called out. Thanks to for catching this one and notifying me. Her work is fantastic.

Respect.

Animal Collective PeaceBone Video



So the band Animal Collective's new video for the track titled 'eaceBone' is live on YouTube here:
[link]
Directed by Timothy Saccenti, [link] . Tim asked me to design the creatures for the video. The freaky girl was based on one of my images titled FaceyFace, [link] .
The monster guy was a fresh design. Monster in my Closet prosthetics effects studio built the creature for the video based on my sketches. [link]
The CG involved was done by the guys over at CLICK3X. [link]
It's a fun, silly, and downright weird video. I had a blast working with everyone on it. MiMC did a great job building that monster, Click's CG work is always great, and Tim hooked up yet another great looking video as only he could.

As for MetalMan v2, I will be compiling the book thru out Sept, and looking at a Oct 2007 release.
The artwork collected for it is beautiful.

Respect.

...showcasing and selling artworks in the Artists' Alley.

I'm pretty excited to mention I'll be one of the artists along with at the Artists' Alley for the Wizard Convention in Philly this coming June 15th - 17th. more info: [link]
I'll be showcasing a lot of work, some new stuff as well. I'll also have available a lot of items and artwork for purchase. Prints, postcards, stickers, & some kick ass Dopepope T-shirts, as well as my two books 'Bioengineered to be the Best' [link] & 'The MetalMan Project v1' [link]


Anyone in the area should come by, say hello. It's looking to be a great time.

METALMAN THANKS:


METALMAN PROJECT v2 book is compiling now. I have received some AMAZING work from all over the world, all different styles, It's really incredible. You'll hear more about this when it gets closer to completion.

I have recently completed a several images that I'm quite proud of, but I'm not allowed to share them until the actual publications drop, so just so you know, I have some killer works on the way. Thanks for watching and the kind words over the past 13K+ views. I really appreciate it.

Respect.

...has finally launched!

Several artists were invited to contribute to this project, and the results are in. The site is live and the book is available! [link] The book has several artworks that the site doesn't show. I'd like to thank all contributers that made the project look as good as it does. There's several styles represented, and makes for a nicely varied gallery. There's some DA heads that hooked up killer pieces too.

If you want to contribute, email me at joe at metalmanproject.com and I'll send back the elements necessary to participate.


Respect.
