Werewolf Wednesday Digest – May 2012, Part 1

2012-05-16

It’s been a few weeks since my last celebration of Werewolf Wednesday, but when I woke up in my Boston hotel room this morning, I had this inspirational image by Tandye in my inbox, so I knew the time was right. Being married to a talented artist who loves werewolves as much as I do is what you might call “an optimal scenario” (and she’s available for commissions on DA & FA). Now that Tandye’s set things in motion, let’s do this. I’m…

Werewolf Wednesday Digest – April 2012, Part 1

2012-04-04

Lately I’ve been seeing the #WerewolfWednesday hashtag pop up on Twitter. I don’t know who started it, but I like it, and I feel bad that I rarely have anything special to post on that particular day. Now, at the suggestion of @DavidJonFuller, I’m going to try Doing A Thing (and David is, too). Every Wednesday I’m going to post a digest of all the werewolfy goings-on that I’ve heard about during the previous six days but didn’t get a chance…

Teach Your Kids the Alphabet the Awesome Way with the “ABC Monsters” Video

2012-03-30

I saw this on FEARnet yesterday and loved it. Some of the references went over my head (especially the “classic” ones), but I was happy to see ‘W’ properly represented. ‘B’ and ‘D’ were great, too. Nice work by La Pompadour!

“Shades of Red” – Red Riding Hood as told on Facebook

2012-03-12

“Digital storytelling” agency Eastwood Media is cooking up something interesting on Facebook. Shades of Red is “a modern-day re-telling of Red Riding Hood”  – ho-hum – “that will be told through facebook” – wait, what? Seven years ago, Werewolf’s Guide to Life author Ritch Duncan told a terrific werewolf story via “this is real” blog posts. That was linear story-telling from a single point of view, though. A multi-person story happening in real time on a social network like Facebook sounds much…

deviantART Werewolf-Horror Contest for March

2012-03-10

My werewolf-themed art group is having a contest and we’re currently low on entries. The idea is to see who can come up with the most horrifying and brutal werewolf creation mythos. Entries can either be in writing or art form. We really want to see you guys push the envelope with your imagination for this one. You must post the image to DeviantART and submit it to our group to enter. The winner gets a colored pencil portrait of…

David Lapham’s Upcoming Comic “Ferals” Promises Fur, Claws & a Killer Story

2011-10-23

The magic of Google Alerts has brought to my attention an upcoming comic series written by David Lapham (Stray Bullets, Crossed: Family Values) and illustrated by Gabriel Andrade Jr. (Lady Death). If this interview at Bleeding Cool (and the issue 1 “gore” cover) is any indication, “Ferals” is going to be a delightfully fucked-up gore-fest – and with Eisner-winner Lapham at the wheel, you know the story’s going to be great. “If you were longing for an HBO series about werewolves, forget…

Howling at the Map

2011-10-22

Via Frank Jacobs’ Strange Maps segment of Big Think comes this image of “a relatively rare poster for An American Werewolf in London, arguably the best horror/comic film ever made”. Arguably the best werewolf film ever made, Frank. He posted this under the title of ‘Lycanthropography‘, a very specific word which I nonetheless feel needs to be used more often.

In Case You Missed It: Never-Before-Seen “American Werewolf in London” Transformation Storyboards

2011-10-18

Digging through some marked-as-read emails, I found that I’d missed an email from reader Byron Dunn, who shared this Badass Digest article about An American Werewolf in London‘s 30th anniversary. Click the link, friends, and gaze upon the wonders contributed by Beware The Moon director Paul Davis: never-before-seen-storyboards of David’s first werewolf transformation, by concept artist John Bruno. Here’s one frame, showing David’s muzzle – click through to the article to see the rest!

The C Wolf: The Vices of Power

2011-09-07

More comics, this time from Chile! The C Wolf is a “vigilante anti-hero” comic with a stark, black and white illustration style that reminds me of Frank Miller or Mike Mignola. The werewolf design is very reminiscent of Rick Baker’s “Wolfman”, which I think works quite nicely with the art. There’s a lot of violence foreshadowed, so if the Miller influence persists we’ll probably see a lot of red mixed in with the black and white. What I’m trying to say is that The C…

Werewolf News fan art from “The Wrong Night in Texas” creator Joshua Boulet

2011-08-12

Last year I reviewed Joshua Boulet’s vicious self-released graphic novel The Wrong Night in Texas (which you should totally buy), and because he’s an awesome human being, he did some fan art for Werewolf News. I’m really fucking excited about it. You should look at it.
