Some cliche somewhere said that ‘a picture is worth a thousand words.’ This has proven to be the case for me and especially when it comes to fan art. I have always sought out great fan art and have wanted to share it with as many people as possible. “Awesome Art We’ve Found Around The Net” is the outlet for that passion. In this column, I will showcase the kick-ass artwork of some great artists, with the hopes that these artists get the attention they deserve. That’s the aim. If you have any questions or comments, or even suggestions of art or other great artists, feel free to contact me at any time at theodorebond@joblo.com.

The long-running magazine will cease publication with its September issue.

According to an Ars Technica report, a source is claiming that following some extended difficulty working with the Nintendo team, the publisher and hardware manufacturer has decided not to renew its contract with Future Publishing, who held the rights to Nintendo Power.

Nintendo was apparently uninterested in assuming control of the magazine, which is understandable at a time when print publications are hemorrhaging readers every month (the likewise long-running GamePro shut down last winter). It's really unfortunate that Future Publishing and Nintendo couldn't come to an agreement on some kind of alternate release strategy like a premium, quarterly digest.

Employees were notified last week and it's finally making its way out to the public with Senior Editor Chris Hoffman taking to Twitter to say they're planning something memorable with the final issue (those Tweets have subsequently been taken down), but...

"Mondo Plympton" is a feature-length anthology of the animated shorts of Bill Plympton, whose work has been oft-showcased in previous collections. Containing animated shorts, drawings, commercials and excerpts from both his first animated feature film ("The Tune") and his upcoming live-action release ("I Married a Strange Person"), it is a forceful argument for the idea that some things are better in small doses.

Plympton's work, which he draws entirely on his own, often takes off on the fragility and malleability of the human form via a unique brand of physical punning. His Oscar-nominated short, "Your Face", presents a singer whose face becomes endlessly contorted in various permutations, while "Push Comes to Shove" presents a physical duel between two men that is carried to hilarious extremes. In "Nosehair", a man struggles with the title subject, which reaches monstrous proportions, and in "How to Kiss", a couple engage in kissing maneuvers that can only be carried out in animation.

Unfortunately, a little of this goes a long way, and the film is not helped by the inclusion of some less-than-stellar items in Plympton's oeuvre, as well as a pretentious narration in which the animator details his career with the seriousness of a Nobel Prize winner. Visually, too, Plympton's shimmering drawings lack the variety needed to sustain a feature-length effort. Still, his is a unique and darkly comic vision, and those for whom his work is less familiar will no doubt take much pleasure here.
