That high-pitched whistle you hear is from the wind blowing through Vanessa Paradis’ front gap as she cackles over how she had Johnny Depp when he was still in the prime of his hotness and now that he’s with Amber Heard he looks like this.

Johnny Depp went to the Met Gala MESS Gala in NYC last night, because he’s currently fucking Amber Heard and Amber Heard said to him, “Bitch, you better go to this thing with me and you better pose with me in front of all the photographers or else I’ll stop fucking you.” Johnny’s pores are spewing out happiness, because he’s just so THRILLED to be there. Johnny’s face is the same face my abuelita makes when she’s at a children’s birthday party. It’s that “Will you just sit me in the corner with a big piece of cake and leave me alone?” face.

Johnny Depp is only 50, but he looks like a 200 year old zombie that is trying to pass off as a human by slathering his face with wax and gluing a bad wig to his head. These two look like a villainous casino magnate and his ingenue daughter.

Johnny has the sads when he poses for the camera while she looks happier looking at the camera than looking at him. What I’m trying to say is their love is timeless and forever.

Three Marvel rejection letters and one assignment letter to Jim Lee, plus one letter of response—”Will this story ever be published or is it just a buy-out story?”—from 1986–87, recently posted by Lee on Instagram.

You can read more about Jim Lee and Carl Potts here.

Three women in their early 20s were arrested in Beaverton, OR on Monday after they were spotted twerking in front of municipal court windows. One of them allegedly peed in between two cop cars while her friend filmed it. They were stopped by police, who reportedly discovered the girls were in possession of coke, meth and weed.

As I’ve mentioned before, while Cleon Peterson’s content makes me cringe a bit, I do find his style incredibly interesting. “Night Has Come” is a 16″ x 16″ screenprint, has an edition of 150, and will cost $50. It goes up today (Tuesday, April 29th) at 10am Pacific Time. Visit his shop.

Bob Layzell is an illustrator from the golden age of British Sci-fi art. That means two things, 70’s book covers and the Terran Trade Authority (TTA).

We’ve swung the spotlight in this direction as Layzell is having an exhibition of his paintings at the Dynamite Gallery in Brighton. The show runs for two weeks from 2nd – 10th May 2014

Layzell’s contemporaries of this era include the likes of Chris Foss, Peter Andrew Jones, Peter Elson, Tim White, Angus Mckie, Tony Roberts to name but a few. Of course all though Sci-fi themes are often similar each artist uses a markedly different approach in both technique and design. For examples Chris Foss’s designs feature trademark check and diagonal patterns whilst Peter Andrew Jones works has a strong 50’s futurist styling.

Layzell’s colourful work has a slick sinister edginess and his designs posses a gritty, apocalyptic and alien feel. As with all work haling from this epoch it’s fascinating stuff, we highly recommend a viewing.

Here’s the press release with more info:

For all you lovers of Sci-Fi, Dynamite Gallery has a treat in store for you!

Anon hate from the late 1800’s.

“Bounce that ass for my kinfolk” goes the entirely too fire hook on GoldLink’s “Ay Ay,” the opening track on his recently-released The God Complex mixtape. Although the 20-year-old DMV rapper fails to reveal his face to the world in the accompanying video, he lets a bunch of bare bubble butts steal the spotlight, because why not? I fully support you slacking off work to listen to music and/or look at half-naked ladies, but you probably want to wait until you clock out to hit play on this.

The God Complex is one of my favorite projects of the year so far, and you can download it here.

Watch after the jump…

Now that Disney is well and truly ditching the Star Wars Expanded Universe to start with a clean slate, it's time for the Lucasfilm Story Group to start building again. And its first order of business (well, after working on Episode VII, presumably) will be four books, and we have an exclusive look!

Lifetime has green-lit a reality show about five young women living in a Catholic convent, who are trying to decide whether or not to become nuns 4 life. Titled The Sisterhood, the show is the brainchild of Hot Snakes Productions, who are also behind the painfully fake and boring Breaking Amish. Hopefully the nuns will fare better.

There can never be a better week than what has just passed for the great Beyonce! She has been recently given the cover for Time Magazine’s The Time 100 and now she has released an official video for her song called “Pretty Hurts.” The song is from the artist’s most recent album. It is a project which surprised everyone since she released at the last part of 2013 without doing any prior announcement.

The music video shows Beyonce as a weighed down contestant during a beauty contest and identifies the highs and lows of any woman. We’ll always tell you that you’re beautiful, Beyonce.

Because no matter what we do there will always be unevolved cowards among us. and the anonymity of the Internet brings out some people’s worst instincts.

  please read my words carefully… I said some people. and its only some people. but those people seem really awful.

 truthfully, it is not just female creators. a lot of people take weird, hateful shit from weird people.  truthfully, honestly, a lot of us get showered with lovely thoughts all day as well but the sickening stuff stands out because… it just does.

but I think that all of us would hope that we would have gotten to a place as a society where our mothers, sisters, daughters and wives could go on the Internet without having to worry about being called a whore for having an opinion.

 I think what rattles most of us in the comic book community is the fact that someone could read a bunch of comic books, with very specific, simple moral themes with highly moral characters, fighting the fight for good, and COMPLETELY MISS THE POINT.

 you know what Capt. America would never do? he would never go on the Internet anonymously and slam anyone.

the point of the stories, the good ones :-), is to show us what we could be. not to waddle around in the minutia of comic book science but to enjoy a world were someone is fighting the good fight.  a world we hope we could live in one day.

 just because you are posting anonymously doesn’t mean that those thoughts are not yours.  it is not role-play, it is not a character, that is who you really are.  that is the energy you are putting out in the world. this isn’t some mask you are hiding behind… this is who you REALLY ARE.

and if who you really are is a bully, anonymous or not, I truly feel bad for you. I really do. I feel bad that you’re hurting so badly that you think you need to do this.  

but there is NO excuse to attempt to punish others under the cloak of anonymous. none. 

I understand that Cleon Peterson’s work isn’t for everyone, but it’s undeniably interesting. His new print, “The Dark Rider”, is a 16″ x 24″ screenprint, has an edition of 150, and will cost $50. It goes up today (Thursday, April 10th) at 10am Pacific Time. Visit his shop.
