New Kongcept Artwork
4/10/07, 9:41 pm EST - Xoanon
The folks from
WETA send this along: Designer Greg Broadmore chats about his ''Chimpobat' creation for King Kong - before any brief was given and artistic interpretations went wild...
"This was an early design for the Flying creatures, or Terapus Mordax. It was well before we had a clear brief. We knew there would be a scene of Jack and Anne's escape from Kong's Lair, comparable to the original film, but that there would be no Pterosaurs on the island.

Richard Taylor backs Dyslexia Foundation

Jeremy Bennett Showcase in Seattle
4/03/07, 9:58 pm EST - Xoanon
Kirsten writes: I thought your readers might be interested in this art show I have coming up at 'Roq la Rue Gallery' (
2312 2nd Ave Seattle WA 98121). It's called "Amazing Visions" and features some of the best and brightest talent in Sci Fi/Fantasy. I'm thrilled to say LOTR and King Kong conceptual artist Jeremy Bennett (people who watched the KK special features will know him!) is in the show with three brand new paintings all based off his Mordor conceptual work. They, of course, are stunning. I will have the images posted online by the opening date, Friday April 13th...but interested parties can request a preview! And of course everyone is welcome to come to the opening, or check out the show during it's month long run. [
