"Are Tattoos the Art World's Next Frontier?"

As the owner and founder of Williamsburg's Saved Tattoo, Scott Campbell has inked the limbs of Marc Jacobs and Heath Ledger. But recently Campbell has branched out from branding skin to brand development. His consulting firm, Mama-Tried Inc., has created tattoo-like graphics and typography for Volkswagen, Camel, ZZ Top and Nike-not to mention the 200 leather-upholstered chairs tattooed with skulls for Comcast's horror network, FEARnet.

Well what do you know...we won a major award.

And while we wish to high heaven that it was one of those cool fishnet-clad leg lamps like Ralphie's dad won in "A Christmas Story," it turns out it's a regular award from Promax for our work on Comcast FEARnet.

Yes, that's right folks. We took home a bronze in the Promotional Items Campaign category.
Hurrah for us. And hurray for Comcast FEARnet.

There's nothing frightening about horror this Halloween, at least not for entertainment executives.

The genre rose from the dead, generating a record $1 billion in 2005 box office sales, up nearly 15% from 2004 and 78% from 2003. And it's still on a tear, based on the buzz for this weekend's Saw III and recent successes including The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, The Wicker Man and The Grudge 2.

Now, Comcast, Sony and independent studio Lionsgate hope to scare up more cash with the Oct. 31 launch of FearNet. The three-way venture targets 18- to 34-year-olds with films and other attractions on an on-demand TV channel, website and cellphones.
