NEW D3@D P!X3L5
My good buddy Reset and I have a new episode of the Dead Pixels Podcast up! So go check it out! Our good friend Ryan guess stared with us, and we chat about old video games from child hood, and talk about a lot of new stuff we’ve been playing, like Left 4 Dead, Dead Space, and Gears 2. With EXTREME editing because we recorded it like idiots on 2 laptops by our good friend on the Double Murder Podcast Danny. Thanks again Danny. Felatio to follow.
Reset is running BD’s very new and fresh horror comics section, known as Graphic Content. So make sure you head over there and check it out!
Also the winners of the Dead Space contest, we haven’t forgotten about you! Things have been bit hectic around here, but we will send you your stuff! Sorry, hang in there!
Search Dead Pixels on iTunes, or head over to the podcast section right here on BD and give it a listen. Leave comments, send us emails and let us know what you think!
P.S. I was eating so much candy during this recording, I REGRET NOTHING!
In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
