Here's the Scene:

The Fantastic World of Aircraft Nose Pin-Up Art
kawaiidaigakusei at 12:00AM, Sept. 22, 2014
It is difficult to imagine a greater canvas than the nose of an aircraft to display art. I love to visit aviation museums to look at each individual plane, but one part I always like to pay special attention to is the art displayed near the front of the plane ...
FRIDAY NEWPOST - "FanService" and Sexy Ladies in Comics
HippieVan at 12:00AM, Sept. 12, 2014
There's been a bit of a kerfuffle recently over an almost ridiculously sexy Spider-Woman cover drawn by Milo Manara.

FRIDAY NEWSPOST - Comic Book Idols
HippieVan at 12:00AM, Aug. 29, 2014
Yesterday, August 28th, was the anniversary of Jack Kirby's birthday. This has prompted some people to talk about how his work affected them, and made me think a bit about comic book influences and artists we look up to. Although I wasn't actively a huge fan of Kirby ...
