David Lynch’s most recent theatrical release, Inland Empire, has finally been made available on DVD. A cinematic fever dream, this film is one of his least linear creations, comprised of a collection of seemingly disjointed scenes that, when woven together, tell an incredibly moving and profoundly disturbing story. Built upon an armature of themes common throughout his body of work — prostitution, violence, sex, jealousy, and infidelity — Lynch has crafted his most artful and manipulative film to date, guiding viewers through a vaguely familiar landscape of unspeakable horror.

Drawn by Frank Santoro and written by Ben Jones, Cold Heat is a semi-monthly tale of sex, drugs, and murder. Fans of Paper Rad, or anything Dan Nadel has been involved with, will love it. Whenever I read it, I can’t help but feel that I’ve been allowed entry into some private universe. The Comics Journal sums it up better than I possibly could: ‘A comic that feels like a cable from a world where the only thing that exists is a dimly lit bedroom in which you’re wearing ripped jeans and you just keep listening to and rewinding Teenage Riot over and over again. Outstanding’.

With the recent announcement that Dungeons and Dragons will be going into its fourth and most spectacular edition this spring, geek powerhouse, Wizards of the Coast, has ensured that socially awkward children (and adults) throughout the world will continue to be provided with the tools necessary to craft group fantasies within the sanctity of their parents’ basements – taking a Gygaxian journey back to a simpler, happier time.

New York artist Anton Van Dalen will be having an exhibition at Adam Baumgold Gallery, in New York City, with an opening reception on September 6th. The exhibition will include sketchbooks, in addition to more traditionally “finished” works. As an artist and educator, Anton has left an indelible impression upon many young artists, illustrators, and graphic designers (myself included). Van Dalen curated a wonderful Saul Steinberg exhibition at The School of Visual Arts a few years ago (Anton worked for many years as Steinberg’s assistance), and I’m excited to have an opportunity to finally see a collection of his own work in person.

Illustrator and artist Balint Zsako creates beautiful images. Be sure to check out his incredible collages — they’re otherworldly, hypnotic and compelling. Crafted from elements that skirt along the edges of the familiar, Zsako creates dreamlike vistas and interiors, as elements from western art history are carefully re articulated into new mysterious forms.

I fell in love with Anthony Goicolea’s wonderful drawings and photographs a few years ago when I stumbled upon his show at Postmasters Gallery in New York. His world is both arousing and disturbing, as visions of childhood nostalgia and innocence intermingle with darker more abusive subject matter.
