News You Can Bruise for 2005 August 10

A clickolinko mention made me go check out Brandon Bird again (I thought I bruised him before, but my archives say no). He does really good pop paintings in a variety of styles. And he keeps putting them out; the best of the new crop is The Death of Jennifer Sisko, which I would love a print of (see also previous, more understated, DS9-themed work The Lesson of the Geese). If I could afford it I'd commission Brandon Bird to do my "First pirate on the moon" painting, but as it is I'm stuck haggling with Kevin's cheapskate artist friend.
