Mornin all!!

ShinyGoodGuy,Kwicko.....I love Rodger Dean’s work. I have an art book of his around my house somewhere, along with 4 or 5 of Frazetta’s art books.

Ok, since you’ve mentioned girls / Frazetta…….here’s another BSG painting he did back in 1978.

NVG that would be cool to get your friend to do a Frazetta ink for you. Even better to have a Frazettaish style Ghostrider done. Frank Frazetta turned 80 last year so the guy ain’t doing much anymore. I don’t blame him….time to retire and enjoy the fruits of his wonderful art.

Kwicko……nice pics!!

Boris…..at first I thought that you were going to post that you got your name from Boris Karloff or Boris Vallejo ( another fantastic fantasy artist)

Did I write that out loud?

Tawabawho?

lmao. take a look at RvB (they're on youtube) and see what you think XD I personally think she's a more psycho, artificially enhanced (she's got an AI unit) mean-hearted bitch--as Church, her ex-boyfriend, puts it. :P series is worth lookin' at

I just now "discovered" RvB, via a machinema podcast on How Stuff Works. Never heard of it before, but now I'm getting hooked on it!

Yup, I've got "The Flights of Icarus", which has a bunch of Dean's work in it. In middle school, I had the "Osibisa Woyaya" poster on my wall, along with a couple other Dean posters. Loved his stuff. Can't even tell you how many albums I bought and tried out just because he'd done the cover art. Same with Hipgnosis, who used to do the covers for Pink Floyd, UFO, Scorpions, Rush, and a host of others...

My user name comes from the Sci Fi cartoon Code Lyoko that was on Cartoon Network For a while. XANA is the evil AI computer, and the 888 was just kinda random.

Boris that is an awesome story.. I work with kids with disabilities. Would you mind if I shared that story with them? I am so impressed that you came up with such a fab coping mechanism all on your own. Way to go!!!

Airwolf was one of my many obsessions through the years, as was Kung Fu, Star Trek TOS, Dark Angel & the original BSG. I have more lines memorized from those shows than I should have memory for.

I won't even go into movies that are permanently in my organic hard drive.

RIPWASH

Tuesday, October 6, 2009 7:38 PM

I don't think it's a big mystery where I got my SN from. I was crushed . . . absolutely crushed when Wash died in the BDM and still think the movie would have been just as good . . . nay . . . better with him surviving 'til the end. But, alas, Joss had other plans. Mine is not to reason why, right?

Anyway, I went with R.I.P. Wash. RIPWASH. Or Ripper to my buddies. :o)
