Photography By Gideon Mendel As a resident of California for the past 24 years, I can't say I've ever experienced a flood first hand. Really, the closest thing we have to floods in California might just be the over-sized puddles that collect in the street when it rains.

Creating art in the face of these natural disasters, global photographer Gideon Mendel has [...]

You have to love a photographer that manages to capture all the beautiful depravity that goes down in the underbelly of a big city. Pretty much regardless of the era or the location, it's out there, as long you're looking hard enough.

I previously went ape shit for Pitts' illustration of Velma as a zombie slayer . [via drawn ]
