Dating can be dangerous. Especially when your date ends up being a serial killer. Case in point. Here’s a video of Rodney James Alcala on that quintessential 1970s game show “The Dating Game.” You would think the producers did background checks on their contestants. On the contrary. Alcala already had a criminal record. He was…

You Light Up My Life And Then Some…
Okay, this is weird. The weird part was not ’70s Punk icon Patti Smith singing “You Light Up My Life” on a late 70s/early 80s children show. Not her, nor her choice of song or her choice of appearance. The guy accompanying her on the piano? That’s Joseph Brooks, who wrote the Oscar winning tune.…
CAG Is A Joke
It roughly over a few weeks since the New York Comic Con 2010 came and went. It was an interesting experience for me. However, before I blog about my experiences being at the NYCC, I have to address this first. In earlier blog posts, I spoke about how I was nominated by the ComicBook Artist…
Tales Of Woe App
For those who don’t know, the book Tales of Woe is going to be released next week on August 17th. Written by John Reed, it features illustrations by a variety of talented artists. I have six illustrations in this book. You can get your copy on Amazon and Barnes and Noble. In the meantime, if…
Snooki Meets Shitty Mickey
In a moment of physical exhaustion and morbid curiosity, I tuned into the hit reality tv show “Jersey Shore.” Yeah, yeah, should’ve known better. After viewing, I was so disgusted. Felt as if I had to take a shower. Instead of calling the program “Jersey Shore” a better title could have been “Jersey Skanks.” I…
Mermaid Of The Oil Spill
Still pretty disgusted by what’s going on with the BP gulf oil spill. So even though I had already done one piece relating to this tragedy, felt it wasn’t enough. Did another one, and this was the result: UPDATE: I decided to do my part for the gulf oil spill cleanup, by putting up a…
Oiled & Crucified, June 2010
Did this quickie piece in response to the Gulf oil spill:
Bronx Heroes Comic Con 2 Recap (To Catch A Thief)/Part II
At my table I sold the latest issue of Babalon Babes, Psycho Bunny, assorted prints and issues of IF-X that I had done cover art for. In a back-handed way, its an odd compliment if a comic fan tries to steal one of your books. Especially if you’re an unknown artist. Okay, I’ll explain. So…
Voodoo Practioners Attacked
So a friend posted this on Facebook. Decided to re-post here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/02/23/voodooists-attacked-pelte_n_473994.html
Bad Fortune
Back in the ’90s, I used to do tarot card readings here and there. Mostly at club parties. I think maybe two-three times filling in for this girl. The majority was for my friend Bejay Rose. He used to promote Club Kid/Rave/Underground parties at various NYC clubs. Those were the days. Never made that much…
