Attack of the Mad Scientists, Part 1

November 20, 2009

By Lonesome Polecat

As someone who designs boardgames, I feel lucky that I get to see all the different stages a game goes through before it's published. First there's making a prototype, typing up rules, playtesting, etc. But my favorite part is watching the artwork develop. I'm no artist myself, so aside from making some suggestions along the way I leave the artwork to the professionals at Fiery Dragon.

My latest game creation is on the very Nerdabout-worthy topic of mad scientists, so I thought I'd share some of this early artwork, to be followed up with pics of the finished product when it comes out in a month or two.

First up is the board, which no boardgame should be without. This first pic is of my own homemade prototype which I used while developing and playtesting the game.

NYC's MF Gallery Opens In Italy

March 04, 2009

Martina and Frank Russo opened MF Gallery opened several years ago on Rivington Street. It quickly became known for its horror movie festivals,alien glow-in-the-dark t-shirts, monster and other sick art. The gallery's been quite the success here in NYC. In early January of this year, MF went international, opening a gallery Genova, Italy, where Martina's roots run deep. The first show was brought in artists from around the world and from the pictures it looks like it was pretty amazing.
