Fringe Benefits Project Artist Interview - Dave Quiggle

We have completed the set of Fringe Benefits Project Artists, Dave Quiggle has kindly spent some time answering our questions about his poster for episode 2.06 - "Earthling".

Q - Mr. Jensen Karp is the mastermind behind Gallery 1988 and The Fringe Benefits Project. When did he contact you about participating in the series? How much advance notice/working time did you have? Especially as the episodes were voted for by the fans of the show.

A- It sort of happened mysteriously and out of the blue and with only the essential information given. Kind of secret agent style. There wasn't a ton of time and there wasn't a lot of instruction, but because it was Jensen asking me, I knew that it was going to be something cool.

Fringe Observiews 5.12 Liberty

Welcome to the Observiews for Season 5 of Fringe. I call them Observiews because they are more visual observations than deep thinking reviews, if that makes sense.
Screen caps from this episode are taken from fringefiles.com. Dialog is from fringepedia.net.

All observations are mine and therefore could be totally off the wall and/or wrong. I have not read or looked at any recaps or reviews. I could also have missed a few things, oh well…

4.22 Brave New World Part 2
WALTER: "Due to the intense energy utilization, Cortexiphan levels in the body should be almost negligible. Meaning that she won't be able to run around setting things on fire or doing superhuman things. The treatments did leave a biological signature, so I suppose some abilities could one day emerge."

Oh yeah!

The Fringe Podcast Episode 530-Fringe Finale Review

In this episode of The Fringe Podcast we share our final thoughts on the series finale of Fringe. We discuss the final scene, the resolution of the characters, our satisfaction with the questions that were answered, and how the story could continue. We also discuss some of the scenes that have caused some fans to be confused such as Windmark’s death and the time reset. This episode also features a final installment of Random Thoughts From Canadia.

We also talk about how the Fringe series finale compares to other shows, the future of Golden Spiral Media, and other shows that we’ll be watching.

Fringe Benefits Project: "The Plateau" - Second Chance

Mark Englert (@markenglert) will have artist proofs of "The Plateau" available for sale this Saturday at TacoBelvedere.bigcartel.com, sometime between 10:00 am - 11:00 am PDT.


Englert posted on his website there will be 15 AP posters available for sale, priced at $150 - but it comes the extra bonus of "a sketch of your choice in the margin" by the artist!

The reason for the big markup is that Englert's studio was damaged in a flood, so he is going to use the  money to help cover what his insurance doesn't.

Sometime in the future, Englert will also be having a flood-specific fundraiser, where he will give away 5 additional "The Plateau" posters:

The remaining 5 posters will be randomly inserted into an upcoming sale of a poster I'll be making specifically to raise funds to cover losses as well. That will be a timed release, on sale for 24 hours so everyone who wants a print and a shot at a free Fringe poster can get one .

If you are interested, be sure to follow @markenglert on Twitter, and sign up for his mailing list at TacoBelvedere.com

Fringe Finale Review for 5.12 & 5.13 - 'Deus Ex Michaelna'

 

Deus Ex Michaelna

~~~

Fauxlivia - ‘Stop checking out my young ass.’

~~~

Walter, ‘ It’s a beautiful name - Astrid.’

~~~

Walter, ‘You have always been my favorite thing, son.’

~~~

Donald to December, ‘You can change destiny.  If you have the will to change it.  It may require sacrifice.’

~~~

The Fringe Series Finale:

1) Emotionally Satisfying.
2) Mythologically Satisfying.
3) Narrative Ninja.

'That is cool!'

A tip of the Fringe Fedora to everyone connected with the Fringe show.  They invoked one of those pat phrases that make fans cringe whenever such platitudes are uttered - this season will be a love letter to the fans - pulled it off and made it a first class delivery.

Fringe Benefits Project Artist Interview Gary Pullin

The fifth in our series of Fringe Benefits Project Artist Interviews is with "Ghoulish" Gary Pullin who created the poster for Episode 1.13 - The Transformation.

Q - Mr. Jensen Karp is the mastermind behind Gallery 1988 and The Fringe Benefits Project. When did he contact you about participating in the series? How much advance notice/working time did you have? Especially as the episodes were voted for by the fans of the show.

A - Back in December I got an email from Jensen asking if I liked Fringe. I'll be honest, living the freelance life hasn't opened up a lot of time for TV so I had only seen a few episodes but thought it was an awesome show. In fact, a lot of it was filmed in an old church just steps away from my home here in Toronto. When he sent me the episode "The Transformation" how could I resist, it had a great monster and I knew I wanted in on the project.

Q - If you had the chance to create another print in this series what moment would you have chosen?
