Oven Fresh Dreams x Miguel Abreu Collaborate & Dream T-Shirt “The Shinigami Baker”

The eighth installment in the "Collaborate & Dream" t-shirt series from Oven Fresh Dreams went up for sale last weekend and The Blot’s buddy (and OFD founder) Carlos J. EasyBake knocked one out of the park again! “The Shinigami Baker” was designed by Miguel Abreu, a talented graphic designer will a real knack for detail. As Carlos explained on his website, “comics have always been my gateway to live with superheroes. When I passed the idea of creating a comic cover shirt to Miguel he flipped. We both geeked out and got down to business. After a few weeks of comic research, we came up with The Shinigami Baker!”

As a huge comic book fan The Blot is really digging the newest Collaborate & Dream design. There’s something about this image that gives off that R. Crumb "Keep on Truckin" vibe that I really love. The Oven Fresh Dreams x Miguel Abreu Collaborate & Dream t-shirt “The Shinigami Baker” is currently available for purchase via the OFD online store for $24.99.

The Dark Knight Rises “The Legend Ends” Character Movie Poster Set

For some reason The Dark Knight Rises dropped not one but two sets of character movie posters yesterday (see the “RISE” set here). The Blot’s got no idea why they wouldn’t space them out a little better, but I’m just glad they’re finally releasing some one sheet movie posters. Sadly this “The Legend Ends” set is nowhere near as good as first set of character movie posters. I do like Christian Bale’s Batman poster, but the Bane (Tom Hardy) and Catowman (Anne Hathaway) look too much like still photos taken directly from the movie. Where’s the creativity!?!

The Dark Knight Rises “RISE” Character Movie Poster Set

Now that The Avengers has come and gone, it feels like the summer is going to be all Batman all the time! Sorry Amazing Spider-Man, but that’s the pecking order…you shouldn’t have shown us the entire movie in your trailers. The first set of The Dark Knight Rises character movie posters finally hit the internet, and they look awesome! Heck, they even make Anne Hathaway's Catwoman look cool, which was no easy task.

Each character movie poster features one of the film’s main three characters (Christian Bale as Batman, Tom Hardy as Bane and Hathaway as Catwoman), the word “RISE” at the top, and the ominous phrase “The Legend Ends” at the bottom. This just fuels the speculation that Batman will finally meet his demise at the end of The Dark Knight Rises. The Blot doesn’t buy it though!
