Kind Of OK Comics #040

Forty in the can and Rex is on a roll.  He is a scoundrel and a lout, but he's mine.  Even when he's biting me with his remaining teeth or barking at the neighbors.  Matter of fact, for an elderly cartoonist, he makes  for a pretty bad pet.  Don't get me started at what he does to the living room rug...

The Face Of Boe And MODOK

For this week's The Line It Is Drawn, the broad topic was:


We continue the British theme with team-ups or mash-ups of comic book characters with characters from Dr. Who!

A follower on Twitter suggested the Face of Boe and MODOK.  If you know me, you know I loves the MODOK.  However, I'm not too familiar with Dr. Who.  Thank you, Netflix, for providing me with several seasons of the new series, which I've spent a few days doing some marathon watching.  I decided to try and go for a Kirby look this week, which I think I didn't get right on the Face of Boe.  Oh well, better luck next week.

Fakes And Forgeries Class: Guernica

I received a gift this Christmas which was enrollment in the Fakes and Forgeries class held at the Newport Art Museum.  I chose Picasso's Gurnica and originally wanted to put the GOP candidates in there, but I might do a straight up copy.  If I have time, I might do a second with political overtones.  I'm working on a 16"x40" canvas and finished maybe 1/3 of the under drawing.  Hopefully it will be included in a show at Spring Bull Gallery.  More to come.

Scarred Villains Take A Poke At Potter

For this week's The Line It Is Drawn, the broad topic was:

Team-up or mash-up comic book characters with characters from the Harry Potter books/movies!


A follower on Twitter suggested a piece depicting "Dr. Doom, Jigsaw, Baron Zemo and Deadpool mocking Harry's scar," so there you have it.  Those not in the know, the four characters suggested are horribly disfigured with massive, facial scarring.  See you next week.
