From Our Man on (Off-Off) Broadway

Playbill reports that Qui Nguyen's She Kills Monsters, a comedy about us folks who play D&D, will open on November 17 at The Flea Theater.

The play focuses on Agnes who "is finally leaving her childhood home following the death of her totally weird sister, Tilly. When she stumbles upon Tilly's Dungeons & Dragons notebook; however, Agnes embarks on an action-packed adventure to discover more about her sister than she previously cared to know. A octane comedy fraught with hostile faeries, randy ogres, and '90s pop culture."

The Flea will also host a D&D-inspired art exhibit: "Doomslangers," artist Casey Jex Smith's works focusing on a "D&D adventure to save the mythical city of Dingershare from the evil Lord Ricaek."

You Be Kim Jong Illlin'

Kim Jong Phil is a series of paintings in which the artist Phillip Toledano has portrayed himself as a benevolent Eastasian dictator in good old-fashioned Chicom-style propaganda.

Here is a little treat for all of my left-wing readers out there in the blogosphere. It is the work of Brandon Bird, an artist whose skills are only matched only by his knowledge of pop culture.

h/t to about half a dozen of the blogs I regularly read for pointing me in the direction of Travis Pitts (a.k.a. Dr. Monster), my new favorite Flickrborne artist. He has a grand collection of Cold War Z propaganda posters and other art at his Flickr site.



Like that? Then check out even more stuff at his main website: Zom-bot.com

Now, if I could only get me a t-shirt with his Hoth 45 piece on it, I would be in hipster-geek heaven.
