The preview images for the new Blab! show at Copro-Nason in Los Angeles are up. I'm fascinated by Ryan Heshka's work (he has 19 pieces in the show, including the one shown here), which borrows themes from old science fiction pulps and takes them in new direction. Link

Favorite this! ( 13 )

Looks kind of like a fold-in from Mad Magazine. Did Al Jaffee ever do one about the Rapture?
