So, Anthony Neil Smith is supposed to be a Mystery writer, so I went to his website and took one of his titles, and I loved the title "Vicarious Radiation."
I also love those pulp fiction novel covers from the 50's. So made a Pulp Fiction Mystery novel cover.
The tagline should be "What is this tingling feeling...?"
My favorite part is the radioactive slop dripping down her leg. I wanted to make it drip up her thigh, but that would make her have to be in a crazy pose.
(Thinking about romance and radiation reminds me of this comic about Madame Curie by Kate Beaton, who I love. http://harkavagrant.com/index.php?id=152 )
Also, I read the real story, and it is totally nothing like this.
haha yeah his stories are not like that at all, but this is really funny. it totally looks like a cover to a trashy mystery novel. can you believe this guy is such a shitty writer and he's gettting 'fanart' hahah.
ReplyDeletei really do love this dakota. i laughed out loud when i saw it first.
wow i can't believe you guys actually went and read his stuff. i am way too lazy to do that.
ReplyDeleteanyway i really like this. it's so campy and dumb (esp. the exclamation point at the end of the title) it really reminds me of those old ads for movies in the 50s.
also this is the closest thing i have ever seen you get to portraying normalized conventions of gender in a very, very long time.
Huh? Um, thanks...I think...maybe not.
ReplyDeleteVery bush league.
ReplyDeleteWhy not show a little respect to a guy that has stepped up and created original art using the written word.
Maybe it is not your cup of tea, but you sould like a total ass here.
Anthony Neil Smith? Wow, how did you find this site?
ReplyDeleteSean, we just choose a random topic off of Wikipedia to use as inspiration for a picture. None of us had read any of ANS's work before. And as you can read, "I loved the title 'Vicarious Radiation'" and used it as an inspiration for MY "original art" using the paintbrush. Please, show a little respect.
Thanks for looking at our art!
"can you believe this guy is such a shitty writer and he's gettting 'fanart' hahah."
ReplyDeleteDakota, the above comment was why I posted what I did. The commment appears to have been written by the person that made the post.
Just want to add a note here to say I'm strangely flattered by the work here, and I salute the Doodlewallers. Indeed, it is hard to shave under my chin sometimes...
ReplyDeleteI actually think the art here is pretty cool. I don't think it's shitty. It looks like a lot of work went into it, and I admire it.
But, you know, call me a shitty writer and I *have* to give some back, right?
Keep on doodling, and I'll keep pumping out pulp fiction bullshit.
All best,
N
I agree with Sean .... You guys sound like total assholes... Assholes with some serious insecurities and, indeed, some anger issues, and a disturbing disregard for others. .. I've seen your art here, and I've read ANS's work (published novels that thousands of people paid money for, not posted blog art), and the real artist (not to mention the true quality person in this bunch) for sure lives in Minnesota.

hey greg, sorry that you're so offended. we just draw for ourselves. we didn't mean any harm and are honestly just fooling around. i do say some mean things but i'd like to say to you (and ans) that my opinion doesn't matter so please don't take too serious offense. its cool that ans has fans that want to stick up for him. go ANS!
ReplyDeleteoh dude and i tooootally have anger issues. no sarcasm.
ReplyDeleteYeah, we didn't mean to start a dialogue with ANS, but now that we have, I find him to be a pretty cool person, who is willing to be the bigger man.
ReplyDeleteAlso, "The Real Artist Lives in Minnesota," doesn't that sound like a song title? Like, I could hear Sufjan Stephens singing that.
Plus, HOW DARE YOU CLAIM WE ARE NOT TRUE ARTISTS!
I, for one, wear a beret. I spend all my money on drugs and prostitutes and killed myself at a young age after going insane from syphilis/eating paint.
It don't get no realer then that!
"i do say some mean things" ... Gee, I wonder if you're sorrority alumna.
ReplyDeletehahaha i rushed but i didn't get in. not pretty enough i suppose. also not able to communicate with normal people.
ReplyDeleteThe real artist lives in minnesota
by sufjan stephens
took a train to minnesota
the artist was there
here name was dakota
and I am sitting in her kitchen
all the money that we spent
on the drugs we bought
they're on the countertop
the prostitutes lie on the tiles
by the morning she throws off her beret
thinks of suicide
crazy from the paint
and we regret and regret and regret
the real artist lies on the floor
today she had a date
so i knock on her door
i will take her to the comic show
while they are lying in the bathroom
(instrumental)
Allison, as far as your lyrics go, you sound just like Sufjan Stephens. Sad, and a bit lame, but kinda good. (Maybe Sufjan Stephens will come to our blog and his fans will bitch us out!!! That would be rad)!
ReplyDeleteBut, as for our doodlewall guests... I would NOT recommend looking at the previous art on our blog. There is depravity there that is not meant for human eyes.
Also, Allison, if you were in a sorority, that would be pretty hot. I mean, then you would have sex with hot WASPy chicks all the time and be rich.
(I don't really know what sororities are like, my school doesn't have any... I imagine it's a big orgy. But most things I imagine are orgies).
Also, we are not alumna of anything, except high school.
ReplyDeleteThat's right, you are fighting with (and losing to) TEENAGE GIRLS you probably adult, single, oddly angry men.
Hey there .. Let me apologize for perhaps over-reacting. I don't like the meanness, and I don't like folks messing with my people, especially such a good guy like Neil, who batted me over the head this past weekend for being so nasty. He's right. I over-reacted.
