Popartz!


At last...volume 2 of POPARTZ! is now in print.  "Whut iz it?" you may ask.  Well...around 2008 or so I started making these little 5" x 5" pen and ink and watercolor pop art pieces...lots of portraits of favorite movie monsters, advertising characters, movie stars, superheroes, topless or nude animation characters, etc. etc.  Eventually I made more than 500 of the doggone things...here's a small sampling:


Now, all of these little paintings have been collected, reduced, and lovingly reproduced in full color in two volumes titled POPARTZ!  These slick little booklets (24 pages each) measure approximately 5 3/4" x 8 1/4", are printed on 128g glossy paper, and have a saddle-stitched binding (not stapled).  My publisher sells these for ten bucks each.  For a limited time I'm offering signed copies of both volumes for only $15, plus $3 shipping ($18 total). 

I also have a few copies of my ABSTRACTIONS book available...identical in format to the above, this booklet reproduces some of my abstract artwork (see below):


All three signed booklets - POPARTZ! vol. 1 & 2, plus ABSTRACTIONS - for only $20, plus $3 shipping ($23 total).  I accept PayPal - jrwilliams57@yahoo.com

Smell the Weirdness...


Happy 2019!  All kinds of cool & strange junk continues to ooze up through the cracks out into the daylight.  First up is this excellent double-LP collection of film tracks from SOMETHING WEIRD VIDEO...


Read more about this must-have comp HERE.

Next is the recently released BLOOD ISLAND collection of DVDs, including the demented drive-in "classics" TERROR IS A MAN (1959), BRIDES OF BLOOD (1968), MAD DOCTOR OF BLOOD ISLAND (1968), and BEAST OF BLOOD (1970).

BLOOD ISLAND Collection review (DVD Drive-In)

Last but not least...a new LAS VEGAS GRIND compilation, after all these years!  Looks like a solid collection of tracks, very much in keeping with the spirit of the original now-classic LPs...
