TurduckInvincible

At Wizard World Austin 2010, I picked up the two large hardcover volumes of Invincible, an ongoing Image comic created by Robert Kirkman and Cory Walker. I tore through those two volumes; it is pretty darned awesome.

Invincible, or Mark Grayson, has had to tackle a number of eccentric villains during the course of the series. So I figured it'd be perfectly natural for him to save the holidays from a giant, deranged mutant turducken. Right?

I thought it'd be a nice illustration on which to end 2010. Happy New Year, everyone!

The Shark Side of the Force

You're probably familiar with how Samuel L. Jackson went out in Deep Blue Sea. And we all know how Mace Windu perished in Star Wars.

But what if Windu was attacked by the shark from Deep Blue Sea? Here's SLJ's modified speech from Deep Blue Sea:

"Nature can be lethal, but it doesn't hold a candle to the Force. Now, you've seen how bad things can get...and how quick they can get that way. Well, they can get a whole lot worse. So, we're NOT going to fight ANYMORE. We're going to pull together...and we're gonna find a way to get out of here! First, we're gonna seal the blast doors—"

:SHARK ATTACKS:

Maybe Mace Windu would have fashioned a lure out of some fishing line and his lightsaber. That could have totally worked. Heck, he could have used Yoda as bait!

Strangels Among Us

Here's the fifth Cup Art illustration I've done at Americas Coffee House in downtown Lafayette. Was initially inspired by the Pokemon "Quagsire."

True Grit - Jeff Bridges

I don't know much about True Grit. But I DO know that Jeff Bridges is pretty awesome, AND that the Coen brothers are pretty darned awesome.

So, I reckon this movie'll be pretty darned tootin' awesome.

I haven't read the book or seen the John Wayne movie. Don't hate me.

Hellboy Loves Cats

Drawn for "Hellboy Friday" at Drawed Goods.

I've always loved the red Mignola uses for Hellboy.

That MAY be the reason that I started reading the comic, in the first place!

Namby Potter

Here is Snape teaching his Defense Against the Dork Arts class about the annoying "Namby Pamby."

I was inspired by Emmy to do my own mini-potter comic. Hopefully I'll do more! (I already have an idea for another one. It even has a JINGLE in it.)

I've typed it before and I'll type it again: Snape is by far my favorite HP character. Followed by Hermoine, the only student who could actually do any spells above a third-year level.

Gobbledown!

Just a quick, silly design for the Facebook Event photo for our upcoming *SUPER* CookNight. Our first ever. Usually we just take turns cooking on Tuesday nights. But next Sunday, a few of us will be manning out respective stoves and meeting to feed a lot of people. Hopefully, because I can't eat it ALL by myself.

HOPEFULLY.

Cher Gambit

After years of hearing people butcher the Cajun-French word "cher," amongst other expressions and phrases, Gambit finally snaps. Actually, the biggest offender is Gambit himself, circa the X-Men cartoon. Oh, "mon CHER," it'll be alright.

Actually, it's pretty entertaining to hear "Cajun" voice acting on television. Trust me, you don't really want genuine cajunspeak on there. But, since Gambit was one charming "Cajun" mutant, I'm perfectly fine with his vaguely-kinda-frenchish-drawl. It's much easier on the ears than hearing something like "Mais, dat mutin' dere is trowin' dem playin' cards fass fass, ya cher!"

Wizard Watching

Sitting behind a table at Wizard World Austin ComicCon this past weekend allowed me the chance to do a little bit of people-watching. I tried to pick some of the more interesting characters who walked by the table. It usually helped if they stopped nearby to talk to someone, haha.

There's another one coming up in January in New Orleans. Maybe I'll get my own table and do silly commissions. Like Superman getting speared by a Superbull. Oh wait, I already drew that...

Sketchcards by Mediocre Militia

This past weekend and Austin Wizard World ComicCon, I met a group of artists who go by "Mediocre Militia." They were pretty cool doodz, and they liked all the silly drawings in my moleskine, so I commissioned each of them to draw me a sketchcard. Actually, come to find out, I only met three out of the four. SORRY, FOURTH GUY.

From James Riot, I requested "Robocop surfing."




From Dave, I asked "Batman riding on Robin's shoulders."




And of Zac, I commissioned "Yoshi eating Mario."




Woooo, support the arts!
