I often receive puzzled looks when I tell folks that Unshaven Comics makes the trek from the southern burbs of Chicago to the New York Comic Con by car. I reassure them that if we could afford to ship an entire booth setup and merchandise to the Javits, convince ComicMix’s own Glenn Hauman to pick us up from La Guardia (a hell I wouldn’t wish on anyone, let alone our most gracious host), and then be beholden to said Haumans for most of our transportation needs, we would. But, rest assured, we’ve made the trip enough for me to admit I actually look forward to the nearly 14-hour jaunt across Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey.
In those middle-hours of driving, somewhere between lunch and arriving in New York, we found ourselves unpacking The Samurnauts as a concept. You ever want a first-class ride on the creative-process express?...

I'm a big fan of Craig Drake's art style, which is obviously inspired by the art of Patrick Nagel. I love that his art pays tribute to pop and geek culture and the things that we love. The artist currently has an art show hosted by the Hero Complex Gallery in Los Angeles, CA, and I had to share some of the beautiful art that is on display there. It includes pieces inspired by films such as The Fifth Element, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Scott Pilgrim, Ex Machina, Big Trouble in Little China, Blade Runner, Mad Max: Fury Road, The Shining, Ghostbusters, Akira, Batman, and more. Drake is one hell of a talented individual (read our review of his book of artwork) and I love what he's come up with here. ...

The Lee Pace–led Halt and Catch Fire, set in 1983 Dallas, offers up a pitch-perfect pilot about ambition, greed, and visionary dreamers at the heart of the tech revolution. At BuzzFeed, you can read my latest feature, "AMC Has Found A New Don Draper And He’s Ginsberg’s Worst Nightmare," in which I review the pilot episode of AMC's new period drama Halt and Catch Fire, which begins Sunday at 10 p.m. Mad Men has made the world safe for period dramas: Nearly every cable network seems to be launching a time capsule program (and quite a few broadcasters have tried and failed) designed to penetrate our cynicism and trap a bygone era in amber. As Mad Men, the blue chip iteration of the period drama, wraps up its seven-season run, Showtime’s Masters of Sex and even Penny Dreadful, HBO’s Boardwalk Empire, and AMC’s Turn have sprung up in its shadow.

We've got an awesome set of art for you to check out today that pays tribute to several classic films from the sci-fi, fantasy and action genres. The art comes from Craig Drake, and the pieces were inspired by films and TV shows such as Star Wars, Aliens, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Lord of the Rings, Cowboy Bebop, Die Hard, and more. The artist currently has his art on display at the Hero Complex Gallery in Los Angeles, and it will be available to see through April 27th. I love his style, it's very reminiscent of the popular 1980s artist, Patrick Nagel. Thanks to /Film for the heads up!

September brings us many spoils here in Austin, Texas. A reprieve from 100-degree heat (it’s 94, which feels quite nice) and the promise of the biggest, most delicious genre film festival in all of these United States. And while Fantastic Fest is raging at the Alamo Drafthouse, their partners in crime at Mondo will be doing something equally as exciting: opening a new gallery show. From the first Mondo Gallery show to the time they saluted Adventure Time, each one of these events has been special in its own way. This time around, Justin Ishmael and the Mondo team have put together a show with art from Robert Brandenburg and Craig Drake, two artists who have delivered a number of stunning prints. We are profoundly excited to be debuting one such piece today on Fsr. From artist Craig Drake, we’d like you to meet “Nina.” Craig Drake, originally from Detroit, moved...
