Painter: Jeremy Geddes

Ninja February 9th, 2009

Good morning & happy Monday! Here are some truly exceptional paintings from Melbourne-based artist, Jeremy Geddes, to kick start your week.

Jeremy received his BA and postgraduate degrees from the Victorian College of the Arts in Melbourne. While studying, he was influenced by artists Léon Bonnat, Phil Hale, Edward Hopper, Ilya Repin, John Singer Sargent, Ashley Wood, and Andrew Wythe.

Jeremy’s paintings showcase his impressive technical ability and frightening narratives. My favorite series feature a lost cosmonaut in urban settings.

Jeremy has also done covers for several issues of IDW Publishing’s Star Trek: The Next Generation

Huge thanks to Sophie for introducing me to his work!

Music Video: Metallica – All Nightmare Long

Penguin December 10th, 2008

Metallica has put out an awesome music video with Russians and zombies! It’s a really cool look at an alternate reality.

A combination of CGI, animation and footage scratched and blown out to look really old. It all just works.

Dream 2: Zach Attack

Ninja May 30th, 2008

Hallo & happy Friday! Thanks for stopping by and visiting my dreams.

Here’s dream number 2. I’m not sure which is scarier—that I actually had this conversation with Zach or that I later dreamed about it.

A bit of background for this dream: there’s a zombie war raging on. Zach and I narrowly escape and barricade ourselves inside an abandoned warehouse. I’m still trying to process the day’s events, and needless to say, I’m quite shaken up. Then Zach snaps me back to reality by saying, “Looky, missy, this is serious! There’s a zombie war out there. If you get bitten, I will not hesitate to put a bullet through your head.” I stare at him in disbelief. To drive the point home, Zach adds, “I would shoot you point blank!!”

Of course, Zach gets bitten, hides it from me, and later turns into a zombie. Then he comes after me. Zach’s hungry. Very hungry. No matter how fast I run, he manages to catch up. He grabs a hold of my arm, starts salivating like Pavlov’s dog, and is about to feast on me. Then I wake up.

As you can see, the panels are not finished. I’m not that thrilled with my inking here, but I feel like I should complete this and try and salvage what I can.

Until next Friday, sweet dreams!

Cheers,
Ninja

Short: I Love Sarah Jane

Penguin May 20th, 2008

Jimbo is 13. All he can think about is one girl, Sarah Jane. And no matter what stands in his way – bullies, violence, chaos, zombies – nothing is going to stop him from finding a way into her world.

Zombies? Romance? What else can you ask for?

Short: Snow-bo

The style reminds me of a cleaner version of animation from the 60s. My first thought was Fallout, a PC game that had a similar style.

The beginning of the 3rd act is really cute, but ends with a slight twist that I don’t quite understand.
