Over 700 years ago, the poet Dante Allighieri found his way to the Underworld from the dark wood outside his native Florence, and the adventure he recorded in The Inferno still haunts us to this day. Now a new traveler finds his gateway to Hell beneath the urban jungle of the “City of Angels,” weaving new characters and contemporary scenarios with the timelessly familiar scenes Dante described. Fraught with obstacles, monsters, horrific visions and prophecies–all visualized in an epic graphic woodcut-like style.

Journey with him, as each step down this human whirlpool brings new dangers and monstrosities, and we delve ever deeper into the torments of our own minds.

“Ron Bassilian has taken Dante’s Inferno and reworked and re-imagined the classic epic into an updated, powerfully emotional voyage through the stuff of nightmares, while Jim Wheelock’s artwork, sometimes reminiscent of the 1930s woodcut picture stories of Lynd Ward, conjures up a phantasmagoria of an often hallucinogenic intensity. A remarkable book.”–Bryan Talbot.

Always From Darkness review from videoviews.org, January 18, 2012

This review is from: Always From Darkness (DVD)

Cast: Erika Rainey, Kevin M. Costello, Danielle Paccione

Director: Matt Brooks, Phil Thomas

Genre: Horror/Drama

Year: 2011

Rating: NR When a young woman takes notice of her neighbor, she has a plan to make him hers. Only problem is, she’s a vampire.

First off I want to send out a thanks to Writer/Director, Phil Thomas for sending me a screener of his new film. The story is about Jude who is depressed over his girlfriend dumping him. He lives with his sister who does her best to cheer him up and encourage him. One night Jude begins to feel a presence around him so he goes down stairs to check everything and to his surprise there is a woman standing outside his door. We find out her name is Anatasia who just happens to be his neighbor. She invites Jude over for a drink which seems a bit odd since it’s well past midnight but he agrees anyway. Anatasia asks him out the following night and when Jude arrives at her place he spots a picture of a man who looks eerily like himself, Anatasia seems to just change the subject but we do find out the man’s name was Eddie who was killed during WW1 in 1918. It doesn’t take long to figure out that Anatasia is a vampire who wants to become a “Watcher” so she can change Jude because her past never let her truly be with Eddie and she feels this is a second chance she can’t pass up. Eddie seems to be clueless about what is going on but Anatasia’s plan seems to be working well after she convinces him to spend the night. The next morning Jude awakes to find Anatasia gone, after going home and hearing his sister scream at him because she was worried about him he goes upstairs because he is not feeling well. After looking in the mirror he notices bite marks on his neck. Jude’s sister and her girlfriend become suspicious about their neighbor but it is her friend that has other plans, she decides to black mail the new neighbors because she wants to become a vampire but she ends up dead instead. Now it is a matter of staying alive for Jude and his sister.

I am not going to go into details on what happens from there so not to ruin the story for those that want to see it. “Always From Darkness” is a Independent film written and directed by both Matt Brooks and Phil Thomas. You can tell it was done on a very limited budget but the filmmakers take good advantage of what they have to work with. Don’t expect a bloody, action-packed film here, this is more a horror/drama that is character and story driven. The story is simple but it is well-written and the pace is deliberately slow but it moves at a good pace. The characters are also very well-written and well developed. The cast including, Kevin Costello as Jude and Danielle Paccione as Anatasia did a terrific job playing their characters in a realistic and believable way. Production wise the film looks good and the musical score and lightly-lit rooms add a nice Gothic feel. For those that enjoy more mainstream movies the film might get a bit tiresome but I think you Independent film lovers are going to appreciate the effort on top of finding the film to be very entertaining. Over-all I found the film to be both interesting and enjoyable with characters you care about and villains you hate, the ending is well done and it tosses a bit of a twist in as well. My final thoughts are that “Always From Darkness” was a very well made Indie film from a couple very young filmmakers that show a ton of promise. The story was original and engaging so I highly recommend checking this one out when it is released. As of right now I do not have a release date on the film’s release but will update this spot when I have more information

Last Gasp & Amazon.com, Present: The Drawings of Laurie Lipton

The Drawings of Laurie Lipton is a comprehensive survey of Lipton’s fantastical, meticulously detailed, hand-drawn images. Featuring more than 70 works, this is the most conclusive and ambitious publication about the artist to date.

A conversation between Lipton and Begovich Gallery Director Mike McGee offers insights into her personal history, motivations and creative process. Lipton’s brief notes about several specific artworks offer further anecdotes and context.

Inspired by the religious paintings of the Flemish School, Laurie Lipton tried to teach herself how to paint in the style of the 16th century Dutch Masters and failed.

When traveling around Europe as a student, she began developing her very own peculiar drawing technique building up tone with thousands of fine cross-hatching lines like an egg tempera painting.

“It’s an insane way to draw,” she says, “but the resulting detail and luminosity is worth the amount of effort. My drawings take longer to create than a painting of equal size and detail.” “It was all abstract and conceptual art when I attended university. My teachers told me that figurative art went ‘out’ in the Middle Ages and that I should express myself using form and shapes, but splashes on canvas and rocks on the floor bored me. I knew what I wanted: to create something no one had ever seen before, something that was brewing in the back of my brain. What I wanted fell between ‘isms.’ It wasn’t ‘surreal,’ it wasn’t ‘real,’ it was lurking between the two.”

“I used to sit for hours in the library copying Durer, Memling, Van Eyck, Goya and Rembrandt. The photographer, Diane Arbus, was another of my inspirations. Her use of black and white hit me at the core of my Being. Black and white is the color of ancient photographs and old TV shows, it is the color of ghosts, longing, time passing, memory, and madness. Black and white ached. I realized that it was perfect for the imagery in my work.”

“Lipton is a borderline-fanatical artist who props herself on a stick for at least 6 hours every day, drawing almost unrealizably thin lines and feathery details with a permanent point pencil, betraying layer upon layer of dark secrets, sleepless nights, and footsteps in the hall.” – Juxtapoz

“ Technically Lipton is a profound draftsman. She captures nuances of light and shade with masterful proficiency.” – Artweek

“ Her exhibition returns constantly to the theme of social masks while laying bare those deeply harbored fantasies and terrors which belie supposedly ‘normal’ appearances.” – The Times (London)

Laurie Lipton was born in New York and began drawing at the age of four. She was the first person to graduate from Carnegie-Mellon University in Pennsylvania with a Fine Arts Degree in Drawing (with honors). She has lived in Holland, Belgium, Germany, France, London and has recently moved back to the USA after 36 years abroad. Her work has been exhibited extensively throughout Europe and the USA.

There once was a serpent

Who only traveled one direction: always forward, never backward.

Until one day the serpent came upon a demon.

The demon cursed the serpent, driving him insane —

Causing him to eat his own tail.

The serpent was blind.

But there were those who could see;

Who knew the serpent’s true path.

So, they created a weapon to destroy the demon.

They hid the weapon in the snake’s den, where he waited for his madness to end.

But it never did.

For the seers discovered that the only one who could wield the weapon was the demon itself,

And so, the serpent was doomed to circle in madness. Forever.
