The BioShock 2 Artist Series that began with Jhonen Vasquez at the San Diego Comic-Con continues next week at PAX 09, with this creation from Penny Arcade’s Mike Krahulik titled, “Mr. Bubbles.” “Mr. Bubbles”, like Jhonen’s “The Sisters,” is a fine example of art that’s slightly more creepy because we know the story behind it.…
