Hey all,
I usually don't post too far off topic but this topic is far from usual. It's called Fort Thunder. It comes out of Rhode Island School of Design and it is a collection of artists putting together what I feel safe to call the strangest collection of things I have seen in my life. These people are so weird! They are painters, drawers, musicians and freaks who roam through life collecting and creating the most bizarre things imaginable. The school is famous for more than this 'Fort Thunder' as they are also the birth place of a band a lot of you know called the Talking Heads. Later Fort Thunder produced a band called Lightning Bolt, a noise rock band. They have put out a collection of comic books that are way out there, including a hardbound, full-color book filled with their art and stuff. There's also a warehouse filled with their stuff too I think. Here's a link to their site:
