CRIT!

Moonrise Kingdom by Needle Design

The Avengers record by Joebot.

The movie was awesome and so is a lot of the stuff from the Gallery 1988 show.

The Avengers by Tyler Stout.

I love Tyler Stout’s work. I interviewed him once and still need his LOST poster…

The Birds by Danielle Rizzolo

Synopsis: Time travel will be invented, but it will be illegal and only available on the black market. When the mob wants to get rid of someone, they send their target 30 years into the past, where a “looper”—a hired gun, like Joe (Joseph Gordon-Levitt)—is waiting to mop up. Joe is getting rich and life is good… until the day the mob decides to “close the loop,” sending back Joe’s future self (Bruce Willis) for assassination. the film is written and directed by Rian Johnson and also stars Emily Blunt, Paul Dano, and Jeff Daniels. Ram Bergman and James D. Stern produce.
