the third installment of melvin beederman, superhero book series is coming out october 31st. titled the grateful fred, this book has melvin struggling to find out who’s trying to destroy his favorite rock-and-roll band. the book is by greg trine and rhde montijo. my friend rhode, how does he do it? he creates and creates and creates. he just doesn’t stop. he’s like the terminator: a perfect killing machine, except he’s creating. it never ends! i fear all of rhode’s art & creating is cutting into his very important battlestar galactica watching time. there may need to be an intervention.

need a cool place to crash? try Hotel Fox in Copenhagen, Denmark. in a promotional effort for a new car design, Volkswagon has taken over the Parks Hotel in Copenhagen, Denmark. Volkswagon then brings in 21 designers, visionaries, artists, and illustrators and gives them free reign to create/paint/style a room (sometimes several rooms). coolness abound!
