Yoshitaka Amano Art Collage

by Zeus | 2010-09-24

Here's a collage of art by Yoshitaka Amano, my favorite JRPG artist and character designer. I first saw his work in the feature length anime adaptation of Vampire Hunter D. Nintendo Power's guide to Final Fantasy was brought to life with his fantasy art, which reminded me like something out of a D&D manual, only more hazy and dreamlike. But I didn't really know who Amano was until Final Fantasy 6 (then "3") made me want to learn more about the artist behind characters such as Edgar, Mog and Kefka.

How awesome is he? Six and a half awesomes. In 1999, Yoshitaka Amano won a Bram Stoker Award for his collaboration with Neil Gaiman. I want to do that! But I can't do art, just the uh things with the letters in 'em... words.

Bucket Bros. Bodyslam - Episode 027: Grown Ups

The Bros. review Grown Ups, a surprisingly good Adam Sandler flick wherin the Waterboy rounds up all his old friends from Saturday Night Live and spends the weekend just having fun. We thought it was the funniest thing he's done in years. Naturally, the critics disagree, but that's why you listen to the Bodyslam and not the critics.

Poor Conan. Jay Leno has returned to the Tonight Show like that Tales from the Darkside episode about a zombie grandfather who refused to admit he was dead. What will become of our favorite redhaired talk show host? Mars and Zeus take a walk down memory lane and Zeus reveals how he once single-handedly kept Conan O'Brien on the air.

Note: Unlike the other episodes, this was recorded using a single Snowball microphone, so instead of passing it back and forth, we were able to interrupt each other. The Bucket Bros get their groove back next episode... when we review Avatar! Yeah, I know. Timely.

The "misc" catch-all category -- for now -- is Shortypants, the twisted domain of our fuzzly little side characters. So if it doesn't have anything to do with bodyslams, it's probably in there.
