Minus Nimbus - Rikk Roberts' Official Site

Rikk Roberts is an artist from California who also happened to be a huge Cronenberg fan. One of his creation is a sculpture of a Mugwump (from Naked Lunch) that is now on dispaly at the Echo Gallery in Chicago. He sent us the photos (which were taken in a rush) that you see here - click the thumbnails to see full size. Don't forget to check out his Minus Nimbus site for other great works.

Find my Throat - Brandon Cronenberg's Official Site

A visitor of The Plasma Pool (who prefers to remain anonymous) tipped us about an interesting site, called Find my Throat, by an artist named Brandon Cronenberg. I checked with him and he has no relation to David Cronenberg. Still, the weird creatures, mutants and body-oriented drawings indicate a similar taste and the site presents some really nice works that are worth checking out.
