This is one thing Comic Book Movies don't need to stop doing

He's crazy and I love it.

I don't know, guy.

If you aren't familiar with the Spider-Man's post Civil War storyline One More Day then I'll sum things up for you: Everyone knows who Spider-man is, Aunt May gets shot as a result of this, Peter decides the only way to deal with this is SELL HIS MARRIAGE WITH MARY JANE TO MEPISTO SO AUNT MAY CAN LIVE.

Now, I won't go on and on about how fucking insane and stupid a move this was. We all know this is way way out of character for Peter Parker. We all know this goes against some of the main tenements of Spider-Man mythos (Why didn't he ask for Uncle Ben and Gwen Stacy back?). My main problem with this is... well... it's just so cruel. If any two characters in any comic series deserve to be happy and together it's Peter and Mary Jane. Marvel editor-in-chief and writer Joe Quesada doesn't think so. Yes. I'll say that again: THE FUCKING EDITOR-IN-CHIEF OF MARVEL HAS UNDONE A MAJOR PART OF ONE OF THEIR MOST POPULAR CHARACTER'S LINEAGE.

Now, before I get too off-topic here, in Sunday's newspaper comic strip of Spider-Man, Peter woke up to find out this whole business with Mepisto was just a dream!

To put this bluntly: I am never reading another Marvel comic again.

Need more reasoning? Now you don't.

Comics (to prove my worth with)

Hey howdy everyone

SO I like comics and I like heroes. But what I like more than all of that, is making fun of those heroes. Thus over the course of the last semester, I drew a few comics about how stupid heroes can be. I hope you enjoy them and that this gives me some credibility as an artist. Lets watch. you gotta hate that Dr. Mahattan. He won't even look at you during sex. He's just too busy doing science

p.s. For the Fall and the Flood, I am changing the character designs to my original ideas. Think of it as added some tabasco sauce to your french fries

Arts, Farts and Craps: "The Thing" Television Project

When it comes to art, I'm weird.

I collect abandoned Tv's. Not like old Tv's you may have just lying around your home that you are willing to give away. I find mine on the mean streets of Boston and give them a loving home. What do I do with these perfect portrayers of image, you may ask? I give them new life, as Art Pieces.

Last October, when I lived in Allston, I went out to get some food at the local Vietnamese/Chinese/Korean/Japanese Food Court. As soon as I left my apartment though, I ran into a beautiful set. It was much bigger than any I had previously owned and I felt I must take it. Months later, I had a concept. For those of you who don't see my on a regular basis, I own a Ben Grimm/The Thing (Jack Kirby Era) Belt Buckle, because I treasure the family values that the Fantastic Four creates and Ben Grimm as the tragic character that he is. I had also recently purchased the "What If: The Fantastic Four all had the same powers?". So I thought of nothing more appropriate to paint.

Lets take a look at the artistic proces through photos:
1.
I started off with a simple Orange Spray Paint base, covering the entire surface area of the TV, minus the bottom. The Color came out nice and bright, exactly how Kirby intended. It was a painting process in the ass but it was worth it.

2.
The Funny thing is I ended up having to get a 2nd Can, which I wasn't anticipating. This is the TV before the 2nd Coat.

3.
This is during the 2nd Coating. Look at how Bright that came out!

4.
After adding the lines with a Giant Paint Marker, this is finished product. Please ignore my goofiness while holding it.


This is the Top. Design-wise, I think the TV really captures the essence of the Thing.


The Tower of Artistically Recreated Televisions. I need a concept for the Final One but for right now, I am a proud puppy.
