Old Wrestler guy

I'm still enjoying using the Pentel Ink brush, & I doodled this guy. he kinda looks like a wrestler from the 80's

Comics

I recently picked up and read 2 books, Funny Misshapen Body by Jeffrey Brown, & Omega the Unknown hardcover.

Funny Misshapen Body is GREAT. I am always surprised How Jeff Brown can continue to put together 200-300 page original graphic novels about his experiences with women, growing up, and his career in the art world, & not repeat himself. In Funny Misshapen Body Jeff shows us a younger Jeff experiencing alcohol & weed for the first time. Anyone who has taken art classes or seriously spoken to an art instructor can relate to the harsh criticisms from a snobby art school. Once again Jeff Brown makes a very entertaining memoir and he continues to get better each time out.

I have all 10 single issues of the new Omega the Unknown that came out last year, but I decided that the hardcover looked so nice that I had to have it. I love this book. The story by Jonathan Lethem & Karl Rusnak is very eery and is perfectly complimented by unique art of Farel Darymple. This book is BRILLIANT

Best/Worst Movie of All Time!!!!

Never Surrender - This is a must see movie! I absolutely loved it!

Hector Echavarria produces, directs, writes, & stars in this wonderful film about a seedy underground fight tournament. This is basically a Jean-Claude Van Damme movie starring somebody else/soft core porno.
Not only is there cameos from top UFC fighters, George St.Pierre, Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson, B.J. Penn, Heath Herring, & Anderson Silva, but the winner of the fight gets the girl of the guy he just killed. that's where the soft core sex scenes come in. Hector plays Diego, who is a top MMA fighter but is quickly convinced to fight in an underground league by Sipher ( who is the main bad guy, and boy he's evil).

there is lots of cliche , shitty lines, that even Stallone & Arnold wouldn't touch. Everyone seems to have a really bad fake accent. Diego is a horrible actor, as is everyone in this film with the exception of Heath Herring.

George St. Pierre has his voice dubbed with a 'not-as-french' accent.

This movie has everything!!

everything you say?

yes, it has a training montage, a beach/cruising with the top down montage, and a score by some douche Evan Evans, that never lets up the whole movie.

Also, Diego kills Anderson Silva in a scene that is a complete rip off of the Bruce Lee/Karim Abdul-Jabbar fight in Game of Death, except it's not even close to as good.
And the bad guy Sipher is played by Patrick Kilpatrick who was the Sandman in the Van Damme prison movie 'Death Warrant'.

this is THE movie!!
Never Surrender is so horribly awful it is BRILLIANT.

I love it, & I've watched it twice.

the MAXX

Sam Kieth's Maxx is one of the first comics I ever bought & I absolutely love the character design. I forgot how fun it is to draw the Maxx.

Life Drawing - June 4th 2009

The guys and I checked out the instructor-less life drawing session at La Muse art studio, on Thursday. we did 3 hours total. we started off with 2 min poses, 5 min, 15 min & then 20 min. I had a bit of trouble warming up and toward the end I started using a 0.05 felt tip with grey Prismacolour markers for shadows. If you're interested in doing some life drawing, it happens every Thursday from 7pm to 10pm @ La Muse Art Studio
