Art

Roger Dean Site of the British artist best known for his Yes album covers.

Fantastic Art Deals with fantasy, Pre-Raphaelite, Symbolist, Surrealist and other imaginative painting. An amazing site with all the links you could ask for and then some... if you can't find it here it probably is not on the Web!

Brian and Wendy Froud Official site of the British fantasy illustrator and his dollmaker wife. Best known for their work on the Jim Henson films The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth.

Magickal Tools of the Kabbalah by Carolyn Tillie. She's a marvelous jeweller who created a complete set of Magical Weapons as part of her Master's Thesis.

Mock Man Press Featuring a brilliant comic adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath.

Gustave Moreau French Symbolist master and my favourite painter.

Mythopoeia A very nice collection of fantasy photography.

The Pogo Page Fansite for Walt Kelly's Pogo. The best comic strip ever done.

Kenneth Anger Major avant-garde filmmaker and collector of things pertaining to Aleister Crowley.

The Late Show with David Letterman I attended, many years after he did of course, the same High School as Dave (Broad Ripple in Indianapolis to be exact.) I have therefore taken, quite unasked, a proprietary interest in his career.

Nuada: The Wicker Man Journal A fine periodical devoted to the legendary horror film.

Scooby-Doo My favourite Saturday morning fare. I once designed a special Halloween Call of Cthulhu adventure using the characters (and yes, the players let me live!)

Twin Peaks Gazette A fine site concering this most brilliant of shows.

WFHB Firehouse Broadcasting Community radio from Bloomington! Simply the best station in the world, certainly the only one broadcasting from an old firehouse!
