Takehito Harada is best known for his partnership with Nippon Ichi, responsible for the artwork in Disgaea, Phantom Brave, and Makai Kingdom. He is now, however, working with developer Compile Heart on a new RPG game, Infinite Souls, and new artwork from the game has been released.

She’s accompanied by Altis, a demon reincarnated as an angel, her servant Lute, and another bunny-like servant named...

German artist Wolfgang Laib’s show Passageway is spread between two gallery venues — Chemould Prescott Road and Galerie Mirchandani + Steinruecke.

Mavis McCallum has a philosophy: A home should be a spiritual comfort zone. It should be a place where people can come in and if theyre depressed, they will leave filled with joy.

If ever there was a residence that fills that bill, its the Milwaukee home that she and her husband, Tom, have created.

Its Lang builders gave this home a name – Shady Nook – and carved the name on the fireplace mantel when the house was constructed in 1947. But today the McCallum home might better be called Golden Nook, a place of light and angels.

Holiday lights and candles flicker in every room, bringing a glow to Mavis collection of African-American angels both small and near...
