Dark Side of the Net New Goth Links in Late June 2009 Chants of Maledicta - A goth/electro band from Brazil. Cobweb Clothing - A shop specializing in fishnet and mesh clothing and stockings. Here's a great place to stock up on camisoles, long sleeve tops, and stockings. They also supply accessories including fishnet gloves, lace gloves, and mesh shrugs. Crites Gallery - A dark artist's three galleries of interesting ink-on-paper drawings. Grim Graphics and Gothic Goods - Stella Strout's CafePress store featuring her own attractive dark artwork. She sells Tshirts, journals, cards, ornaments, and magnets. The Hermitage - Illustrator Rima Staines' blog, full of interesting posts, pictures, findings, drawings, sketches, and musings. While the things here aren't doomy and spookarific, they're quite lovely in a dreary way, and there's a lot of whimsy and effort put into the blog. I quite lost myself for half an hour looking around here this afternoon. Horror Film History - An interesting project showcasing 32 films (so far) with careful analysis and selected photos included in each article. The analysis of each film is pretty interesting. Hyaena Gallery - An art gallery in Burbank, California which exhibits odd, eclectic, and dark artwork. Upcoming gallery shows include Clint Carney, Jeff Rebner, and Jeremy Cross. Currently showing: Erick de la Vega. Definitely take time to poke around this site, you'll likely find a few very interesting things you'll enjoy. James B. Hunt - An artist who lives and works in Phoenix. This is his gallery of monsters, odd creatures, and disturbing faces. (See my favorite here. He is on MySpace, Facebook and Twitter as well. Caia Koopman - Fabulous art (acrylic on canvas) by a talented artist. Here are wide-eyed girls (I won't say waifs) and dark overtones, all the while colorfully cheerful. If I'd seen this site before I selected the Pick of the Month today, this would have been it. Highly recommended! The Oubliette Ensemble - A band from Philadelphia. They play medieval, Renaissance, dark fairy-tale world music and list themselves on MySpace under "Folk/Classical/Gothic." I just enjoyed listening to their "Enchantment" song. The Rock N Goth Shop - A shop with bases in the US, UK and Europe. They sell Alchemy Gothic items primarily: jewelry, clothing, accessories, decor, barware, etc. Sparko - A new webcomic, published by Slave Labor Graphics. You can read it right on their website. Follow the adventures of Norman and Belle in a strange underground London. Tactical Corsets - These come with a pepper spray pouch, handcuff holder, pistol holster, and other possibilities for attaching survival gear. Twilight Conventions - Creation Entertainment's site listing the upcoming conventions in 2009 and 2010: Atlanta, Chicago, LA, Minneapolis, Miami, Washington DC, Phoenix, Seattle, Vancouver, New Jersey, Nashville, Toronto, Vancouver (again) and San Francisco. I'm almost afraid to know what exactly goes on at a Twilight convention. Universal Monster Army - Universal Monster Army is an online community dedicated to classic horror films and the pop culture that surrounds them. There are forums and classified ads. WFKU - An online streaming radio station staffed by NYC dark DJs. "Dead Music for a Dead World." I absolutely loved listening to this station while I worked on Dark Side of the Net tonight. Their website schedule is terribly outdated though, so that makes me wonder if anybody is really tending to the station anymore.
