Bought this discounted September 2011 issue of Heavy Metal magazine.
I recognized the artist before I saw the Imaginary Friends Studios label in the cover.
I stumbled upon ArtGerm’s art back in the deviantart.com days ( Those days when I visit the site regularly ).
That was even before IFS involvement in the Lamb animated movie.
I’ve been a fan of his character Pepper ( see Pepper Project ( and this )) which I think is the one in the cover.
The table of contents of this issue points out to several deviantart.com artist gallery links. ( Including kunkka another favorite of mine. )
I think Chester Ocampo, an artist we interviewed before in TheLair, still works with IFS. ( Though I don’t see his name involved in the Heavy Metal issue ( I was hoping he was ( especially after seeing his latest awesome witchblade artwork. )))
Nice to see their artworks in this issue. I like to see more ‘digitally created/enhanced’ artworks inside Heavy Metal.

I’ve been playing around with several iPhone graphics/photo apps. Even mentioned some of them before.
But I still can’t arrive at a combination that really satisfies me.
Resizing before uploading doesn’t help as it destroys the quality of the image. ( See previous posts. )
So I’m sticking with this combination-manip for now. ( More later. )
No resizing… but if you’re viewing the image not on my website that automatically resizes the width to 550, it looks offensively large at 1280.
Beehee.
