Album artist Aaron Crawford (interview HERE) has teamed up with artist Scott Saw to create a unique collaborative print that will be available for sale at the 2010 San Diego Comic-Con! Hit the jump to read what Aaron had to say about the experience!

Here is what Aaron had to say about the experience:

“Before I even get into this, if you haven’t heard of an artist named Scott Saw (scottsaw.com) you need to go check out his work. His paintings will leave you wondering “what the fuck am i doing with my life”.

I only recently became familiar with his work through the power of twitter. We started chatting one day about collaborating, and long story short, WE FINALLY DID! It wasn’t your traditional collaboration, because we live 28736 miles away from each other, but with the power of the internet, and a few massive file exchanges, we made it happen.

He sent me one of his paintings titled “The Good Fight” and I basically went and redid the concept in my style, which is going to be made (by Scott) into limited edition prints that will be available at this years COMIC CON!

I’ve always hoped to be involved somehow in the Con, so Scott is sort of making a dream come true here, by having this print available at his booth. (#4632)

I unfortunately won’t be able to attend, but you if you are going, you HAVE to, I repeat, HAVE TO go check out his booth and all of the art that will be available there. There will also be a few other goodies available from yours truly.”

“He Walks By Night” – Listen to a Brand New John Carpenter Song NOW!

It’s a new day, and you’ve got new John Carpenter to listen to. John Carpenter, Daniel Davies and Cody Carpenter have released the new track He Walks By Night this morning, the second single off their upcoming album Lost Themes IV: Noir, out May 3 on Sacred Bones Records.

Lost Themes IV: Noir is the latest installment in a series that sees Carpenter releasing new music for John Carpenter movies that don’t actually exist. The first Lost Themes was released in 2015, followed by Lost Themes II in 2016 and Lost Themes III: Alive After Death in 2021.

Sacred Bones previews, “It’s been a decade since John Carpenter recorded the material that would become Lost Themes, his debut album of non-film music and the opening salvo in one of Hollywood’s great second acts. Those vibrant, synth-driven songs, made in collaboration with his son Cody Carpenter and godson Daniel Davies, kickstarted a musical renaissance for the pioneering composer and director. With Lost Themes IV: Noir, they’ve struck gold again, this time mining the rich history of the film noir genre for inspiration.

“Since the first Lost Themes, John has referred to these compositions as “soundtracks for the movies in your mind.” On the fourth installment in the series, those movies are noirs. Like the film genre they were influenced by, what makes these songs “noirish” is sometimes slippery and hard to define, and not merely reducible to a collection of tropes. The scores for the great American noir pictures were largely orchestral, while the Carpenters and Davies work off a sturdy synth-and-guitar backbone.

“The trio’s free-flowing chemistry means Lost Themes IV: Noir runs like a well-oiled machine—the 1951 Jaguar XK120 Roadster from Kiss Me Deadly, perhaps, or the 1958 Plymouth Fury from John’s own Christine. It’s a chemistry that’s helped power one of the most productive stretches of John’s creative life, and Noir proves that it’s nowhere near done yielding brilliant results.”
