From the site:

"This week on a DOUBLE DOSE of Where Monsters Dwell goodness, we get back to our old ways a bit and bring you two feature length interviews with a couple of interesting dudes.

First is Matt Triano. Matt has written and drawn comics for collections and anthologies by publishers such as Moonstone, DC and Atomic Press. His art can currently be seen in works for Robin Hood Charities in New York, Moonstone (Captain Action), Zenescope (Grimm's Myths and Legends), The Discovery Channel and Marvel Trading cards (Marvel Characters), as well as a Batman story for the "DC Halloween Special."

As if that weren't enough, we then have a special interview with Ric Meyers. Ric was the first non-martial artist to be inducted into the World Martial Arts Hall of Fame for his contributions to the martial arts film industry. He's contributed to Starlog magazine, Famous Monsters of Filmland, he's written novels starring such characters as The Incredible Hulk and Dirty Harry and has more than two dozen other books of fiction and non-fiction to his credit.

If you have a question for Matt or Ric, feel free to post it on our Facebook wall or give us a call at 506-453-4949."

If you are a comics pro, please vote. I humbly suggest: "Nick Cardy: The Artist at War," a biographical and historical work about this great artist. Nick, a prolific artist, sketched his entire time overseas during World War II, and the journal is presented here, and one man's journey through the war, as told via his artwork. And shows the the foundation of the man that would then go on to be one of the best storytellers and designers at DC Comics after the war.

We hope you'll vote for this book. And also hope you'll check out a copy someday. It is afterall, a book almost 70 YEARS in the making.

The Yolks on You! The art of decorating Easter Eggs!

One of my fondly remembered Easter traditions was decorating my basket of Easter eggs. Granted, we were usually limited to food coloring, crayons, and stickers. Later they made those little plastic sleeves that shrink to fit the egg, but those always seemed like cheating to me.

I really loved making my dozen or so eggs to then take to my Grandmother's and hide in her yard. Some years we had nearly 85 of those brightly colored orbs, and a half dozen or more kids to look for them. And my poor Maw Maw would invariably find rotting eggs in her yard when she planted her flowers in the Spring. Hey, we tried to find them all.

Now, when given the chance, I still get a thrill decorating eggs for the occasion, and mostly for my own amusement.




So, I love this article on Huffington Post and these really creative eggs. Take a peek. The art is alive and well.

Full Post Here, and below, the ones that I found the most fun! :-)

Coloring and decorating eggs has long been an Easter tradition symbolizing new life and rebirth, but let's be honest: just dipping eggs in pink food coloring is a little boring. Thankfully though, some people have gotten WAY more creative with their egg-decorating designs -- whether they're for a holiday or not.

We found 21 super original and awesome Easter eggs (full of pop culture references) from people who really went above and beyond. Check them out below:
