Distortions Unlimited on www.horror-movie.ca!

Bluewater Productions presents a unique horror comic that revolves around existing full-scale monster and alien animatronics in the new series titled “Distortions Unlimited.”

The three issue series is based off of licensed characters crafted by Distortions Unlimited based in Greeley, CO. Distortions is world-renowned for creating shocking props, masks and animatronics that have been the mainstay of the dark amusement industry for the last 30 years. The company is best known for reproducing the 16ft queen alien from the film “Alien” cast from the original molds, as well as designing the stage props for music industry icon Alice Cooper’s Brutal Planet tour.
Daniel Crosier, writer and illustrator on the series, has a unique connection with the project. “I grew up near the Distortions studio in Greeley. I used to tour the studio when I was a kid and was fascinated by their creations. I suggested to Darren Davis the president of Bluewater to partner with Distortions to develop another horror comic. Darren liked the idea, so we approached them with the concept. Distortions was enthusiastic about the partnership and green-lighted the project.”
The entire series focuses on Distortions’ Rage animatronic. Described as half Neanderthal, half beast, and all fury, the Rage is one of Distortions’ most popular characters. Ed Edmunds, president of Distortions elaborates of the protagonist of the books. “Rage has been a fan favorite for years. The sheer size of the piece commands attention and really gives people a good scare. He’s a great character to base the series on.”

The first issue of the series delves into the horror unleashed on the earth with the collapse of a mine. The plot was crafted with multiple, intertwining layers that combine fantasy and true-life events ripped from today’s headlines. Local Denver celebrities, Uncle Nasty and Matt Need from Clear Channel’s KBPI and Allana Rizzo from Rocky Mountain Fox Sports Net have lent their likeness to the project.

Crosier will bring a unique look to the books by illustrating with his watershed technique. All covers and interior pages of the series will be created with graphite on wood poplar panels. Crosier’s influence for the series is Dark Horse’s “B.P.R.D. 1946”. The books will have a high contrast, distressed, organic look.

The creative team will also include veteran inker Peter Palmiotti. Palmiotti has worked for a variety of comic publishers including Marvel Comics, DC Comics, and Image.

The release date is for the first issue of Distortions Unlimited will be December of 2009.

ENDOTREND EXPLOSIVE

In tough economic times, great art, and events will find a way to surface.  This is true for the EndOtrend EXPLOSIVE show on Saturday, September 19th, 8pm, at 3505 Ringsby Court, Building B, Denver, CO. Bands For Lands’ EndOtrend Explosive presents The Post-Apocalyptic Love Story between The MOTOMAN PROJECT, with there underfed machines of chaos,  the Construct band in their G.I.Joe battle, box car, transport, and no triangle is complete without the Samurai Demons of OFM: OdAm fEI MUd to corrupt the landscape in monstrous fight choreography.  Mor acts to be announced. $10.00. www.endotrend.com.

EndOtrend is a fine arts festival and special events funded by the Bands For Lands non-profit to promote eco-consciousness and healthy living through the mediums of film, art, and music.  For EndOtrend Explosive, Jeremy Gregory, organizer of EndOtrend  and  half of the Construct duo, has brought together an entertaining and dynamic grouping of talent in spectacle, art, and performance for the September 19th event, which promises to be a daring and explosive night.

MOTOMAN PROJECT: The MOTOMAN PROJECT is an interactive machine/robot performance-based experiment. A collaboration of work by machine artists, kinetic sculptors and audio-video technicians. The MOTOMAN PROJECT combines civilian technology and industrial salvage to function as elements within their excessively engineered creations accompanied with experimental audio is what the MOTOMAN PROJECT brings to the arena. The MOTOMAN PROJECT is the opus of a congregation of young mad-scientists, gathering in the basements and warehouses to create some of the most dangerous and stimulating art in Denver.

The Construct is a two man operation performing out of their mobile stage and headquarters – a transforming box truck.   Their sound pushes the boundaries of what punk and indie rock can be as it mates aggressive, fiery songs with lonely, contemplative material. Instead of opting for a traditional band they expand their creativity through the use of samplers and systematically switching between multiple instruments during its songs resulting in a surprisingly rich tapestry of sounds, built on angular guitar work and tricky tempos.

OFM: OdAm fEI mUd (Oh-dom feh mood) is a samurai/neo-kabuki, performance art group and play. The performance is choreographed fighting and sword work, ripping away at prosthetics and props, only to give way to a b-movie bloodbath! The music is the only narrative to this stage performance in tyranny and ambiguity!  The music itself is a progressive and ever changing score based in heavy drumming!
