How do you measure the success of an artist? When the production of his "lightbulbs" makes folks scramble to report on it, that's what! Hey, I admit defeat here, I do!

From UK-based artists Hugh Rose comes a series of images of 6"x6" Acrylic Ink on 18mm MDF Board. (Edges of board are also painted.) Insane stuff here. Check out the artwork on http://dredrwc.bigcartel.com, with each priced at £35 per. Also check out this post for his custom-work. Pay homage.
This is a special animated trailer for french comic book "Zblu Cops" (issue #7) by Bill and Gobi - yes you read it right, "an animated trailer" for a comicbook! Doesn't take a genius to think this would make an uber-cool animated series, which may well give traditional Japanese anime a run for the action-money, IMHO. More details of the video on the Muttpop website.
