Worth A Thousand Words Each

RFC's Official Barista, Chelsea Cook. Digital Painting by Rudy

The PopCulteer
June 11, 2010

When I’m out shooting photos at a cool event or at ArtWalk, I always jokingly say, “Hey, the more pictures I take, the less words I have to write.”

This week, I’m going to live that idea to the fullest. I’m off for a weekend trip to MEGO Meet in Wheeling, and then on to visit family in Pittsburgh, and after a rough week, I’m too tired to write a fully-realized column. We’re going with tons of random PopCult images, like the digital painting of my RFC 100 Sidekick, Chelsea Cook that you see to the right. You’ll see another digital painting of The Kid on Monday.

Below the jump you will find an assortment of images that have piled up on my hard drive over the last few weeks. Our cool comic is mainly just a link, and our list of cool weekend events is taking a vacation.

So, rub the sand out of your eyes. Here’s a bunch of things to look at.

There was a reception at Kanawha Players Theater after the opening night of “Courting Disaster” on May 27, and I just got around to moving the photos off of the data discs.

Cool Comic Of The Week

Curvy, but not due to scurvy

Voyages Of The She Buccaneer is a stirrring Pirate adventure that follows the exploits of a gigantically-breasted female pirate. Aside from that can’t-miss premise, it’s really well-done.

The She Buccaneer begins her voyages following the death of her beloved Captain Jack Rackham. She cuts a deal with the devil to save her love’s soul, and has to recover seven gemstones to complete her mission.  The writing is clever and the art is primo modern comics cheesecake.

You can read all about it here, and be sure to check out the free webcomic by clicking on the page below.
