THE HILL HITS THE SHELVES!

Brooklyn Original co-founder Sal Cipriano's new graphic novel The Hill hits the comic book store shelves today!! I want to congratulate him and the artist Jok on another great looking book!



Here is the description:

Jack and Jill went up the hill... Jill is a failed assassin; Jack is a failed experiment. Both were created by the same evil company; both want out. A beaten and shattered Jill has lost everything she has ever cared for and hasn't the will to live, but her employers won't let her die until she completes one last mission... kill the monster Jack! When a mutual connection comes into Jill's crosshairs everything that they've ever known becomes a question mark, sending them into a bloody downward spiral to the end! Jack fell down and broke his crown, but will Jill came tumbling after?



You can find it online at Midtown Comics (search for Hill TP)

SPOTLIGHT: VIKKIE FIORE'S SEASHELL ART

Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, artist Vikkie Fiore has transplanted down to Deerfield Beach, Fl. where her artistic eye has flourished. Inspired by the beauty around her, Vikkie began collecting seashells from the various beaches around her. She then combines the shells with beautiful sand and carefully chosen acrylics and other paints to craft beautiful pieces of seashell art. She has already been featured in a few galleries and shows in the area and currently has 4 pieces at the Ansu Gallery in Hollywood, FL. You can check out more of her work at http://www.seashellartwork.com/ and http://www.myspace.com/seashellartworks.

SPOTLIGHT: JOE ATTANASIO'S PANTHER PRODUCTIONS

For our first Spotlight we'd like to focus on Joe Attanasio's Panther Productions. For over the last year Joe has been making short films and posting them to You Tube. The films range from horror to trippy meditation and in between hard looks at the mind and life. They are very well done works that get under your skin right from the get go, transcending the horror genre and becoming something much more deep.

Joe grew up in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, and has been interested in art all his life. From simply doodling cartoons to the graphic design day job he's worked at for the past 6 years the passion has always been there. He's also a musician, as evidenced by the really creepy, well timed music in his films. Film making though segued from his love of horror films, media, and culture, and the need, as most of us artists get, to try his hand at making his own. Being the creative person he is he quickly began channeling his talents through this horror funnel with outstanding results.

Thus was born Panther Productions, a You Tube channel with a growing number of subscribers! As well it should be, because what Joe is doing is evolving into a voice and talent that is worth noting and watching.

Here now is one of his videos. The rest can be seen here: JOE ATTANASIO'S PANTHER PRODUCTIONS.

Be prepared to be creeped out! Enjoy!
