WARNING: SUBJECT MATER AND PICTURES MAY BE DISTURBING TO SOME Tattooist and Artist Ryan Almighty shook up the art world with his artistic creations that he makes with his own blood and caught the attention of many when his portrait of Edgar Allen Poe was put on display at the museum dedicated to the author. Since then Almighty has been busy with commissions. Almighty has recently turned a lot of heads with his latest and most controversial work yet, a portrait of the infamous cult leader Charles Manson, using his own blood mixed with some of the ash of Manson’s cremated remains! Almighty said he acquired the ashes from a friend of Jason Freeman (Manson’s grandson) who attended Manson’s funeral and was given some of the famed madman’s ashes under the condition that Almighty would give the friend the first of four portraits that are being made with the mixed ash and blood media. Freeman’s friend identified only as Tony,

Jeremy Wechter’s e-Demon goes viral this September in select theaters and On Demand. To give you a taste of what’s to come, we have a new exclusive clip to share with you (below). The film, produced by Wechter, Michael Gonzalez, PJ Starks, and Emily Pojman, tells of an escaped demon on a dark and twisted mission that manipulates a group of friends hanging out on a video-chat. The film is craftily structured – it takes place completely on a computer screen via the webcams being shown. “Kendra, AJ, Mar, and Dwayne are old college friends who find themselves growing apart. Attempting to hang on to their good old Ohio State days, the gang gets together online for a night of stories, pranks and drinking via webcam.

Since the demon can possess multiple people at once, the group of friends must

Not long ago I talked about the upcoming surreal sci-fi game “Elea”. The game’s developers, Kyodai and Sodesco were kind enough to allow me the chance to review the game early before its September 6th release. The game itself is an episodic adventure telling the story of Elea, who’s on a journey through space to find her husband who’s gone missing along with his crewmates on a mission to find a new planet to colonize and now his ship was found but is mysteriously going through a quarantine procedure. After completing the first chapter it should be noted that the story I’ve played will be updated on launch day with a different beginning since I don’t know exactly how much of a change there will be, I’ll forgo focusing too much on the narrative I encountered in my playthrough. The main thing that blew me away was the graphics! Nicely detailed and textured, the colors are amazing and fit well
