War of the Colossal Freaks of Frankenstein's Planet poster (and more)

War of the Colossal Freaks of Frankenstein's Planet and Beach Blanket Beastie posters by James Groman. Both are on sale here, signed, for $15.

The explanations are pretty funny. Frankenstein's Planet is "for a fictional (or is it?) 1969 science fiction movie starring Clint Eastwood and directed by the legendary Sergio Leone." The Beastie is also for a fictional movie and was originally used for a resin kit Groman created:

1. One clever way to resist the urge to spend - - When considering a purchase, picture someone offering you the cash value of the purchase or the item in question. Which is of greater value to you? (I use this test to resist the urge to buy blind box toys, which are almost never worth the purchase price.) Via.

2. Baseball stats expert points out the obvious: 100 years from now, everyone will be using steroids and other body enhancements.

3. Apparently not a joke, but a new Food Network show is "What Would Brian Boitano Make?" Via.

Chickenstein

Jerom's entry for the Villains of Scooby-Doo contest is Chickenstein, who starred in an episode of "A Pup Named Scooby-Doo," which was actually a pretty good show. Jerom's website is a great place to find paper toys including his own papercraft Cthulhu.

There's still plenty of time to try to win a $100 Threadless gift certificate, so get drawing.

I've previously mentioned the Vote for Abe Lincolnstein campaign, and now you can download a poster for free. While you're examining the other free stuff at Daniel Davis' store, take the time to tell him how much you like his Monster Commute characters so he'll get to work turning them into toys.

Dr. Frankenstein's Human Body Book (in 3D)

This sounds like a fun anatomy book:

Talk about mad genius—from conception to execution, padded red cover with 3-D effect to the up-close-and-personal images inside, this anatomy book is as engrossing as any science fiction. Dr. Frankenstein, shown in a sepia photograph standing in a laboratory, gazing at a skull he holds in one hand, invites readers to join him as he creates a human being (Don't look so startled, he chides the meek). From there it's on to atoms and the skeletal system, tissues and organs, and so on, presented on visually rich spreads. The story line is sustained with brief, pun-happy journal entries (Day 11 [on eyes]: Assistant has seen the light), and the theme reinforced with remarkable design. Gothic fonts and engraved illustrations and vignettes (in red and black and also hand-colored) blend with state-of-the-art images from MEG scans, gamma scans and other advanced technology. Clear explanations broken into easily assimilable captions and text blocks encourage the reader. The only flaw: the subject most likely to interest the target group, the reproductive system, receives such timid mention as to be almost nonsensical (Male and female reproductive systems differ in structure, but both are involved in producing special cells that join up to make babies).
