Pine Tree Quilt update #2
grammypAugust 2, 2012
Here is the sample block I made today. The colors are a bit faded in the picture. I guess I have gotten too much water in my camera. I also have 210 pairs of blocks ready to make 4 patches, but my iron took today to quit, so I'll work on those tomorrow.

State's English Language Learner program battle being waged on multiple fronts
The clash over the way Arizona teaches English to kids who don't speak the language is being waged on two fronts.
The more familiar one is in U.S. District Court in Tucson, where for the past 19 years the state has been defending Flores v. Arizona, a case that has driven funding and policy for teaching kids to speak English and has been to the U.S. Supreme Court and back.

Tony Hale is an Emmy-winning comedic actor best known for his role as Gary Walsh on HBO's political comedy Veep. Hale also starred as the socially awkward Buster Bluth on the ground-breaking, Emmy-winning series Arrested Development. He has starred in films such as The Heat and the forthcoming American Ultra, Dominion and Yoga Hosers, and recently released his first children's book, Archibald's Next Big Thing, which follows a young chicken named Archibald who is always looking for his next "big thing" instead of realizing all the big and beautiful things around him, right now.
We love stories. The power of narrative is what drew many of us into the entertainment industry to begin with. But our own stories don't always go as planned. In an industry known for its ups and downs, stalls and starts, it's easy to question whether we're making a difference. It's easy to sometimes feel that our dreams are out of reach.
This conference is about reconnecting with origins. It's an opportunity to go back to the opening frame of your story, to reflect on why God called you to this industry, to be inspired once again about the narrative he has for your life. No matter where you're at in your journey, he has a plan for you. You can make a difference. You are making a difference. So join us — your fellow Christian directors, producers, actors, writers and media-makers — and rediscover your purpose and passion to create meaningful, excellent work.

The Space
House uniquely offers (1) sleeping accomodations for up to 11 persons, (2) thoroughly upgraded house with classical design set up clutter-free like a hotel suite, and (3) location on the edge of campus and close to everything by bus or cab.
In the past we rented our home for football weekends, and expanded that for most of the year.
You'll find a cozy living room with HD TV and stereo opens to a modern kitchen. There are two first-floor bedrooms (with full bath), one in the basement (with another full bath), and room for a slumber party in the loft (four beds and an air mattress). The garage is Ping Pong Central and the back yard offers a fire pit and gaming area.
No pets or smoking in the house, please. No pets. Enjoy the carpet upstairs with your bare feet. Use the bath fans when showering. You can place returnable bottles on the back porch; they're worth $.10 each. Treat the home as if it were your own. Biggest rule: Enjoy yourself!
John was an excellent host. He provided us with fresh ground coffee and Zingerman's bread for the morning! The house was clean and everything was in great shape for our weekend trip. I would definitely recommend his home to any friends.
John's house is perfect for a party of ten, especially with children. The second floor is nice & quite. The large amount of silverware are great for big party. The location has quite & nice neighbors. Moreover it is within walking distance to the Chinese restaurant Chia Shang. So give hands to John.
John's AA house was perfect for our post-holiday party of 10. Above all else, his rapid fire communication was a breath of fresh air compared to the many other hosts I contacted about properties in the SE Michigan area, who were at times painfully slow to respond, or unresponsive entirely. John was attentive to my needs and helpful in all aspects. Parking was ample, beds were comfortable, and John's laid-back personality put us all at ease. This was my first Airbnb experience, and I can't gush enough about it. Definitely will be back next year!
My family and I had a wonderful stay at John's place. It was the perfect size for my extended family and I to stay when we were in town for my grandmother's funeral. The living room has a great big couch. We were able to entertain out of town friends and family comfortably. I would definitely recommend John's place for a group get together.
Our group stayed at John's house and found it perfect. John was great to deal with leading up to the stay and was even nice enough to put a sign on the room we were staying in as I was arriving late. The house has been very nicely redone with new fixtures and appliances, is in a nice neighborhood and convenient to many places to eat and just a jog down Packard to downtown.
We had 10 people staying there for a weekend long workshop, most of whom had not met in person prior to arriving. We were all friends by the time the weekend was over and the comfort of the house contributed to that.
I can't think of a thing I would change and recommend anyone that needs a beautiful, well appointed place to stay in Ann Arbor stay here. This was my first experience with AirBnB and must say John has set the bar very high.
We had a great time staying here over homecoming weekend. The location was fantastic, and the house was great for 7 of us. The house was clean when we arrived, and John was very welcoming (we loved the Zingerman's bread)!
I would recommend this house to anyone wanting to stay near campus, and we hope to be back in the future!
Great House, and great location. Plenty of room and comfortable, would definitely stay again. John was easy to deal with and very helpful with a late checkout. He left us delicious local bread and coffee that we loved. Thanks John!
I'm a laid-back residential builder, have been renting my house out recently, and am happy to join the Airbnb group of hoteliers.

Canstar Community News - ONLINE EDITION
Couple's ornaments built to withstand time
You could call it the march of the garden gnomes.
As home gardening steadily grows in popularity, so does the desire to add to a yard's visual impact with ornaments such as a bird bath, pagoda and maybe a bunny or turtle. Or you might be brave enough to place an emerald green Loch Ness monster next to your peonies.
Whatever your taste, chances are that Ornamental Stonecraft in Oak Bluff will have a design that appeals to you.
"We have, by far, the largest variety of ornaments," said owner Rod Schroeder, estimating that they carry about 1,000 designs.
Rod and wife Barbara opened their business 19 years ago. Their larger concrete ornaments, including an eye-catching trout (though Rod admits he didn't make that one), are visible to drivers on the Perimeter Highway.
"The location was perfect for us," said Rod.
The process of making concrete sculptures involves creating a clay model, then using that to make a latex mould which can be used up to 500 times to form identical shapes. The Schroeders first had local artists work on the clay models, but now they usually buy ready-made moulds.
Rod said customers want an exacting level of detail on their concrete sculptures, such as fine lines depicting an animal's fur. Barbara adds to the realistic look of some creations by painting or staining all or parts of an ornament.
The Schroeders are willing to take on custom orders. For example, four years ago they produced a statue for the City of Thompson honouring local firefighters. The three figures that make up the statue weigh a total of 1,500 pounds and the monument is about six feet high and 12 feet wide. Stain was applied to give it a bronze finish.
While the statue resembles bronze, Rod said, the price was a fraction of what a real bronze statue would have cost.
The popularity of a design determines whether or not the Schroeders continue to carry it. Rod said their most popular design is a bear cub standing next to a "Welcome" sign.
Although similar designs are available in plastic and some concrete ones are imported from other countries, Rod is confident that his will last longer since they are manufactured to withstand Manitoba's harsh winters and hot summers.
"They will definitely outlive me," he joked.
Smaller ornaments can be taken indoors for the winter, while larger ones should be covered with a breathable tarp. Care should be taken to ensure water doesn't get into any recesses and freeze, then thaw, as this can damage the structure. Planters and pots can be filled with dirt to prevent moisture accumulation.
Rod is always on the lookout for new designs.
"I can't pass a concrete place without stopping in," he said.

Please identify this grass.
This most striking grass is in the Piet Oudolf's garden in Chicago. I have not had a chance to go get one of his books yet, but am dying to know what this is.
Thank you.
Here's the grass list for Lurie Garden:
Thank you, Donn. It just occured to me to check the Park's website. I have been googling the grass on the list, but still have not come across the one in the photo yet. I have seen a few other plants in the garden that are not listed on the website.
It looks like Schizachyrium scoparium 'The Blues' (little bluestem) to me.
Thank you, all. I hope that's Little Bluestem too, because Bluestone carries it and I want to order them next spring or now and figure out how to overwinter them.
The blue flower is a Salvia.
There are several different Salvias at the Lurie Garden.
This garden has been most fascinating to watch this year. Each week it looks different. If you have a chance to be in the town where a Piet Oudolf's garden is located, please don't miss it. It is so unique and striking you'll not regret a visit.
Here's a glimpse of it. My photos cannot do justice to the real thing:
Given that you've posted a plant list for the garden and included in that list is Sorghastrum 'Sioux Blue' I'm going to take an educated guess that this is what we are seeing and not Schizachyrium scoparium 'The Blues.'
Darke's book describes the former (Blue Indian Grass) as chosen for its "powder blue foliage and erect form...turns yellow in late fall..heat tolerant...free of rust diseases."
Nice grass -- I'll be looking for it near me.
I don't think it is Sorghastrum. I have 'Sioux Blue', which is beautiful also (and a very nice blue), but the leaves are quite a bit wider than Schizachyrium. Looks like Schiz. to me, too. Nice pics, pitimpinai, I need to road-trip to Chicago!
I have to put in my opinion, and the grass in the first pic is Schizachyrium scoparium "The Blues". I find this thread hilarious, because more than two people looked at the list, and took a horrible educated guess. I find that troubling and funny at the same time. I think it is time for botany and identification classes near the "educated guess open forum". Sarcastic, I know, but if you have no clue, don't post. Sorghastrum looking like Schizachyrium.......that is a hoot.
juicylucy, come to Chicago. Millennium Park is right on Michigan Ave. downtown. The Lurie Garden is at the south-east corner of the park at Monroe and Columbus.The "Bean" was unveiled again two days ago, but the bottom will be covered again soon for polishing. The top will be left exposed this time.
Donn, love your rolled eyes. :-)
I guess your right Donn, since their are no smoky blue Pennisetums out there, unless you use toxic waste as a amendment for your soil, or you have genetically altered a "Cassian" Pennisetum and it grows upright, erect, and with airy panicles that are not typical of the tight panicles of Pennisetum cultivars. Brilliant, maybe a hasty accusation, but accurate and direct, sure, you nailed it. I don't guess from a list, nor do I compose an educated guess because the name may fit the plants id in my mind. That is what differs from you and me Donn, guesses and accurate identifications.
"That is what differs from you and me Donn, guesses and accurate identifications."
That's just one of many differences.
I don't believe in accurate colors in digital photos, transmitted over the internet, and displayed on a variety of monitors.
I don't spell as poorly as you do. ("I guess your right Donn, since their are no..")
I'm not even close to your level of rudeness.
lol, Donn.....Cameras not accurately displaying the grass? Lol, come on Donn. Don't blame the camera! Blame the "educated guess" that you so hapely blurted out. And your answer to the rude remark, ya maybe I am, but I am not afraid to speak my mind, especially remarking on those like yourself that don't have a clue, but you post like you actually know what you are talking about.....oh about the sentence structure and correct spelling thing, thank you for pointing that out. Maybe you should change hobbies, as a human spell checker and grammar enthusiast, not a gardener or a debater for gardening concerns.....Happy gardening...lol
I was actually at the Lurie Gardens this past Wednesday and saw this grass. As luck would have it, there was a volunteer tending the plants and I asked her what kind of grass was this. She said Little Bluestem. Anyway, I'm going back on Monday, Labor Day, 'cause I hope to take some pictures of Panicum 'SHENANDOAH'. Its a beauty this time of year. Actually, the entire garden is stunning.
Agreed, and I may be adding fuel to the fire here BUT I'd have to defend Donn with this one. Speaking one's mind is one thing, but to antagonize & ridicule others for their 'supposed' ignorance of a species of grass is plain childish. Is it worth throwing punches over? I don't know who's right and don't really care but gloating about your expertise on grass (or anything for that matter) is diminished somewhat by the less than stellar grammar that accompanied it, and yes, since I'm no self-righteous grass connoisseur, I'll serve only as the human spellchecker. Life's too short to argue about gardening of all things...but as human nature has it, I rubbernecked myself into this one. Peace & carrots guys.
Oops, seems that I had problem with posting. Here's another shot of Panicum S. ?? Gorgeous, arenÂt they? I wonder if Panicum v. ÂHeavy Metal or ÂCloud Nine or ÂRotstrahlbusch come close to this one. Bluestone carries these varieties.
That's beautiful. I wonder what variety that is of switch grass. You know I met Piet Oudolf when he was here in June or July. Nice guy. I wish I had asked him then what variety of switch grass that was, but there were too many people. I hope he comes back to visit. Maybe I'll have luck next time! I did find out that the Monardas were of the variety "Scorpio". Of course, now I can't find them anywhere. Ugh! Maybe next year.
Hi, my name is Gloria and I am one of those volunteers on Wednesday at the Lurie garden. The first picture is a good one of the Schizachyrium scoparium (skits-ah-KEER-ee-um skoh-PAIR-ee-um)
or more commonly Little Bluestem. In the latter part of summer all the bluestem sort of splayed out in flat swishes but hopefully next year as its roots deepen and the clumps enlarge it will support itself better. If not it still adds much texture to the garden.
The picture of the panicum virgatum is 'Shenandoah'.
What a beautiful grass! I have added it to my own garden this year.
The head horticulturist sent us pictures with names attached for most of thhe plantings.Hopefully next year they can be added to the website.

Flying bugs collecting in sink!
Anyone have any idea what these bugs are that are collecting in our sink? The individual picture is of a live bug, the other is a collection of bugs that I found this morning in the apple cider vinegar I left out last night.
fruit flies?
Here is a link that might be useful: fruit flies
Drain flies. Put some strips of masking tape or tape across the drain of your sink, leaving a bit of opening. You'll know then if they are actually coming from the drain if you find several stuck to the underside/sticky side...
Here is a link that might be useful: Drain flies which are different from fungus gnats or fruit flies
Those look like flying ants to me. Ants fly (swarm) to find a place to set up a new nest.
Here is a link that might be useful: Flying ants
How do you get rid of flying ants when you cannot find where they are coming from? They do not follow a trail like regular ants. They just fly-in and land by a light. No evidence of them elsewhere. Can you use a bait to eliminate the nest? Terro does not work.
They could be coming up from some other drain and going over to this one because of the moisture. Presumably you use this sink regularly so the trap is full of water. Make sure all your other drains have water in them. Sometimes an unused shower stall or floor drain dries up so bugs can come up from the sewer. It's a good idea to put some water down unused drains every few months.

SPIDER-MANDATE: The Lowe-down on "Secret Wars," Tie-Ins and Stacey Lee
Comic Books
Awards | A last-minute reminder: Today is the deadline for Eisner Awards submissions. [Eisner Awards]
Creators | Grant Morrison looks back on his run on Action Comics, which ends today with the release of Issue 18, and touches upon Multiversity and his long-discussed Wonder Woman project: "This is some of the most fun I've had in a long time, because it's a completely different type of comic book. Usually I don't do masses of research, but for Wonder Woman, I've actually been working my way through the entire history of feminism. I want this to be fucking serious, you know? I want this to be really, really good, to reflect not only what women think, but what men think of women. I'm trying to do something really different from what's been done with the character before. That one's been amazing fun, because it's nothing like anything I've ever done before." [Entertainment Weekly]
The London Super Con happened over the weekend, complete with a sizable roll call of legends attending (including Neal Adams, George Perez, Bill Sienkiewicz and Brian Bolland). These days, it wouldn't be a U.K. comic convention without a fresh batch of photographs turning up in the Twitter stream of 2000AD super-fan John Burdis and friends dragged up as Mega City One judges, administering some on-the-spot justice to his fellow convention goers. This time, there were some familiar faces to be spotted amongst his willing victims: There are literally hundreds of shots like these on Burdis's Facebook gallery. Also seen at Facebook: a very jolly-looking Batman sharing a joke with Judge Court.
Welcome to What Are You Reading?, where the Robot 6 crew shares their picks for who we think should play a young Han Solo. Of course, we unanimously chose Nathan Fillion, so instead we'll talk about what comics we've been reading. Joining us today is special guest Tim Lattie, the creator of Night Stars. Tim is currently running a Kickstarter to raise funds to publish it, so head over there and check it out.

2012 will be remembered in some quarters as the year of some of the most overrated comic book movies ever. Fancy grabbing yourself a piece of permanent reminder from easily the best and most underrated of last year's crop? Then eBay is the place for you, as DNA Films and the Prop Store are auctioning off over 200 props and costumes from Dredd over the next fortnight. In time you'll be able to buy yourself a (hopefully fully working) Lawmaster motorbike, but the first batch includes the only complete Judge Dredd costume that'll be available in the auction.
No word from anyone involved yet, but this sale may well be tacit confirmation that DNA has no intention of developing a sequel to the film, despite its recent success both as a download and in DVD and Blu-Ray sales, a second bite of the cherry that will probably result in putting the movie in profit after its initially disappointing international box office takings.
The second issue of IDW Publishing's Judge Dredd doesn't just feature the continuation of Duane Swierczynski and Nelson Daniel's look at the early days of Mega-City One's toughest lawman, it also contains a treat for longtime fans of the character (and British comics in general): a back-up story illustrated by none other than Brendan McCarthy!
IDW has provided ROBOT 6 with a preview of the main story, as well as an exclusive look at two pages from the Swierczynski/McCarthy strip. Judge Dredd #2 arrives later this month.

It's beginning to look a lot like the final Wednesday before Christmas (and the final full one of the year), so with my $15, I'd get some gifts for myself that I know I'll enjoy: the second issue of Chris Roberson (and now, Dennis Calero)'s Masks (Dynamite, $3.99), the third issue of Brandon Graham's Multiple Warheads: Alphabet to Infinity (Image, $2.99) and Francesco Francavilla's The Black Beetle: Night Shift #0 (Dark Horse, $2.99). Also, I suspect that I'll be unable to resist the first part of Vertigo's adaptation of Django Unchained (DC/Vertigo, $3.99), too.
If I had $30, I'd add another pile of favorites to that list: Judge Dredd #2 (IDW, $3.99), the by-now-amazingly-late-but-still-enjoyable Bionic Woman #6 (Dynamite, $3.99), Hawkeye #6 (Marvel Comics, $2.99), and the latest issue of the always-wonderful Saga (Image, $2.99).
When it comes to splurging, however, then I'm going to be playing it relatively cheaply: That Star Trek 100-Page Winter Spectacular (IDW, $7.99) feels like it might offer just the kind of space-age cheer I'll be grateful for by mid-week … Happy Warpspeed Holidays, all.
The oddest piece of news I've seen today is that Dave Sim has drawn an alternate cover for the first issue of IDW Publishing's Judge Dredd: Year One. The comic's creative team will please 2000AD fans, as it features current wearer of Tharg's rubber-mask-and-boiler-suit-combo Matt Smith as writer, underrated "Simping Detective" artist Simon Coleby on interiors, and the great Greg Staples painting the regular covers. Staples is no stranger to the young Joe Dredd, essaying the character as an actor in the Judge Minty fan film, a recent hit at U.K. comic conventions.
This is, I presume, another welcome side effect of Sim's recent deal to bring assorted Cerebus projects to IDW. Sim's detente with modern comics continues apace. See both covers, Sims' and Staples' almost-ludicrously detailed version, below.

If I had $15, my Wednesday haul would start with Glory #30 (Image, $3.99). This series has been great, and since Kris Anka began doing covers, it's gone to very great. Now, seeing New Yorker cartoonist Roman Muradov coming in to do a story makes it potentially even more, well, great. I'm psyched to see Glory face off against her sister, and Campbell's depiction of both has been mesmerizing. Next I'd pick up Comeback #1 (Image, $3.50), featuring letterer Ed Brisson making his major writing debut. The cover design by Michael Walsh is impeccable, and the concept of time traveling for grieving loved ones is a fascinating concept. Next up, I'd get a Marvel double – Wolverine and the X-Men #21 (Marvel, $3.99) and Hawkeye #4 (Marvel, $2.99). This carnie issue of Wolverine and the X-Men is intriguing; it's going out on a limb, but after what Jason Aaron and Nick Bradshaw have done so far, I trust them. With Hawkeye, I'm slightly hesitant to pick up an issue knowing David Aja isn't drawing it, but Javier Pulido has the potential to be an ideal temporary substitute.
If I had $30, I'd look back on my $15 and reluctantly put Hawkeye #4 back on the shelf to free up money for Derek Kirk Kim's Tune, Book 1: Vanishing Point (First Second, $16.99). Man oh man, do I love Kim's work, and seeing the previews for this online makes me see a honing of the artist's style akin to the way Bryan O'Malley did between Lost At Sea and Scott Pilgrim. Count me in.
If I could splurge, I'd take a chance on the anthology Digestate (Birdcage Bottom Books, $19.95). I'm no foodie like C.B. Cebulski, but I like food and I like anthologies so this is right up my alley; especially when the chefs include Jeffrey Brown and Liz Prince. Where's my order?
Hello and welcome to What Are You Reading? Today our guest is Salgood Sam, who has just relaunched his independent personal anthology series Revolver. He is also completing the last chapter of a graphic novel called Dream Life after a successful Indiegogo funding drive to finance it. He also publishes the Canadian-centric comics blog Sequential. As he told me, he "usually has too many projects going on and does not get enough sleep."

Good news for fans of the lesser-spotted psychedelic comics legend Brendan McCarthy. This Wednesday will see the release of IDW Publishing's The Zaucer of Zilk #1 in the United States, and in the United Kingdom, the new issue of The Judge Dredd Megazine (#329) comes festooned in a wraparound image of Judge Anderson. This cover is something of a warm-up for McCarthy, as he has an Anderson back-up strip in Issue 2 of IDW's upcoming Judge Dredd comic, written by Duane Swierczynski. Images from both below.
Anyone who missed the U.K. publication of The Zaucer of Zilk is in for a real treat. McCarthy says the work has "been described as Harry Potter meets Yellow Submarine. .. Mix a bit of David Lynch in there and I'll go along with that." I'd throw in a recommendation for fans of Dr. Strange (it's a massive Ditko fan doing a story about a dimension's Sorcerer Supreme, after all), and McCarthy's previous cynical hipster superheroes, like Paradax, Zenith and Rogan Gosh.
There's been a long history of games adaptations of Judge Dredd, going back to the first board game released by Games Workshop in 1982, and their role-playing game of 1985. Back then, Games Workshop's miniature-making division Citadel released many waves of Judge Dredd figures. I bought many of those as a lad, with plenty of them still in my parents' attic, in various states of assembly.
There have been a few iterations between then and now, but one thing is for sure, the coming-to-an-end-soon Kickstarter campaign for the latest generation of Judge Dredd miniatures from Mongoose is a rousing success, with nearly $80,000 pledged now from an initial goal of $2,000. Their rulebook for the game is a free download, so have a look, and if you're hooked, throw them a few dollars. At the rate they're going, they'll be able to make miniatures of every character ever to grace the strip.
Judge Dredd fans have another cinematic version of their favorite antihero to look forward to (no, there hasn't been a last-minute, sequel-saving, boost to the box-office haul of Dredd 3D). The short fan film Judge Minty, which has had a production period running almost parallel to the official movie, has announced it is to premiere at the Leeds Film Festival on Nov. 12, with a second showing at the Leeds Thought Bubble comics festival Nov. 18.
The movie has plenty of close links to the comic and its fandom: Dredd is played in the film by artist Greg Staples, and the script was written by regular 2000AD contributor Michael Carroll, adapting a classic John Wagner and Mick McMahon story. The teaser trailer, which has been doing the rounds for more two years now, shows that it is tantalizingly possible to do an incredibly faithful live-action Judge Dredd on a television budget. Make it so, BBC/HBO commissioning bods!
A fairly definitive history of 2000AD was published a few years ago, in the form of Thrill Power Overload, but that volume was written by David Bishop, the man original 2000AD-creator and UK comics prime mover Pat Mills came to view as his nemesis (no pun intended). As such, I'm unsurprised that Mills has at various times planned to write his own version of the events of 2000AD's launch, and apparently, in the current post-Dredd 3D climate, publishers are again showing interest in the book. Mills has posted an extract from the chapter on the hard-fought gestation of Judge Dredd at his recently-started blog. It's a very personal version of events – Mills is prone to skip about tangentially wherever his memory takes him, and why not? He's earned the privilege.
Over at io9, author David J Williams has a short essay pitched at introducing 2000AD to a wider science fiction-appreciating audience. There's nothing there that should be new to any comics-literate passer-by, but its good to see the movie being put in a wider context for any curious newcomers thrown in that direction.
Art Barrage favorite Rob Davis has debuted the cover for his adaptation of Don Quixote Part Two. Davis' work on the first book of Cervantes' masterpiece was that rare treat, an adaptation that crossed from one media to another and still seemed fresh rather than redundant. This is because Davis is a creator of rare intellect and taste, with his blog being the place to see the amount of thought he puts into every project he embarks upon.
When I mention here that the U.K. is going through a Golden Age for graphic novel publishing, Davis has proven to be a key figure in its renaissance. Two of the publishers now regularly producing a steady stream of great books have worked with him, with Self Made Hero releasing these Don Quixote volumes (there's a collected edition hitting the American market in the not-too-distant future); the ground-breaking anthology he co-edited with Woodrow Phoenix for Blank Slate Books, Nelson, would surely have won a multitude of awards this year if it had been published by one of the big U.S. indies (no, really; if you haven't read it, click the link, look at that list of contributors, and ask yourself if it isn't worth a punt, you won't regret it).
More below, including another Don Quixote cover by Davis, and work by Jonathan Edwards, Rian Hughes, Etherington Brothers and more.
Entertainment Weekly has debuted Mondo's Dredd 3D poster created by Jock for Fantastic Fest, which begins Thursday in Austin, Texas. Founded in 2005, the annual event is the largest genre film festival in the United States, and this year plays host to a screen of director Pete Travis' Judge Dredd adaptation, attended by stars Karl Urban and Olivia Thirlby, and screenwriter Alex Garland.
Initially at least, poster be available only at the festival; however, any left over will be sold online. Jock has been working a lot lately with Mondo, the collectible art boutique arm of Alamo Drafthouse, producing limited-edition posters for The Dark Knight Rises and The Raid: Redemption.
Dredd 3D opens Friday nationwide.
