Wonder why posting has slowed to a crawl here on Ecliptic Sight. Blame it on the games, Batman: Arkham Asylum (playing the the first one because I already bought Arkham City), Gears of War 3, Battlefield 3 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. I will try to keep up but with the holidays in full swing and great games coming down the pipeline it will be hard to juggle everything. To bad they can not mash up video games so we did not have to buy so many…

Copperthistle Starts Anti Biters Coalition
Let me start off by saying all the art below does not belong to myself or Ecliptic Sight. All rights and artwork is by digital artist known as Copperthistle on Deviant Art. I put that disclosure at the top because it seems he has a problem with biters (people that steal his work without giving credit to him). So he transformed it into art by starting the Anti Biters Coalition.
The concept works well with his hip-hop inspired work which also has a lot of biters in the industry. Here Copperthistle transforms MF DOOM into a zombie with the dark colors flowing into the haunting image of him devouring human remains.
Little Work Makes Big Design
I first witnessed Juart Little’s impressive work at DeviantArt and was taken back by his use colors and expressions. He definitely chooses some of my favorite artists to give his interpretation through his designs. Little has drawn Aesop Rock, Cypress Hill, Planet Asia, Afu-Ra, Pharaohe Monch, RZA, Tash, Immortal Technique and many others giving the underground hip-hop some shine. Juart’s art does not stop at hip-hop and his work goes from tattoo designs to fonts and much more. His website at digitalbluecollarworker.com displays his work in a simple but elegant way to let his designs become the focal point.
Hard to pick one but this is my favorite from his work:

IMA-ONE creates a Robot Robinson
John Robinson delivers fierce lyrics to any track he spits on. Now he has teamed up with Robot Koch to transform into Robot Robinson. Their sound is a mash up of Hip-Hop and Electronic music to nicely combine the genres. Robot Robinson did not stop with their sound scape and injected it into their artwork with the help of IMA-ONE. IMA-ONE is a graphical genius from the land of Japan and gives his own unique spin on their concept. If you check out The John Robinson Project website you can see sketches of the art below and the album cover with the final project also.
Drawing Hip-Hop For The Love
Doing my usual deviantART browsing and typed in hip-hop and this little gem popped up. The artist goes by DirtyDre and this is his take on some of his (and my) favorite emcees. Can you guess all five? Click on the image to see the answer. For more artwork and information on the artist check out his website at: http://andreguindi.blogspot.com/
my 5 favorite emcee’s matched by my five favorite albums by the artist, then one quote from each album respectively. ~DirtyDre
RETNA Focuses On Graffiti
A post on Art by Ecliptic Sight reminded me of a post that I should have written years ago. RETNA is a graffiti artist that has ventured into the formal art world with art galleries and other events. His style is definitely refreshing and easily recognizable. His work and info can be found at his website at digitalretna.com.
Fifth Artistic Element
Found this artist named indi1288 on DeviantART that takes photos and turns them into digital art. This one caught my eye because it is of Milla Jovovich from one of my favorite movies the Fifth Element. His gallery is massive with his focus on different female entertainers.
