I LOVE TOY STORY 3...

I personally believe TOY STORY 3 is right next to INCEPTION as one of my favorite movies of the year. This film (though worthless in 3-D) brought me back. Waaaay back to when I was in Kindergarden... feeling sad when everyone had a Buzz Lightyear action figure when I didn't. Back to a time when I was angry to finally get a Buzz Lightyear and realize that everyone moved on to a Hess Truck (a toy my dad finally bought me freshman year of High School).

Sharing my love for this movie is a good friend of mine, Cyrus LaBoy, whose favorite character would be the Little Green Men. And why not? They only really say one if three phrases in the whole movie and that's just what makes them... ugh... dare I say it? Cute.

HOPEFULLY I FIND USE FOR THIS

This was a character that I created a couple of months ago... she was supposed to be on a Project that I was starting up but it looks like the project is going in another direction so I may or may not use her.

I designed Suan Romano here after Batman: The Animated Series' Harley Quinn, created by Paul Dini and Bruce Timm. Susie was supposed to be a wacky, zany, child-like female superhero with a heart of gold but very unorthodox ways.

Hope I get to use her sometime...

THE CITY OF TOWNSVILLE!!!!!!

I really don't understand why the Powerpuff Girls were such a big hit. I really don't. What's surprising is that just as much guys watched the show as girls did. Huh. Anyway... I try to avoid drawing cartoony-cartoon pictures--round shapes and the like are just NOT my thing. But Juliane demanded it so... eh.

I must say that this pic is waaaaay better than my first attempt at drawing this hit cartoon.

But that's just my opinion.

BATMAN BEYOND

This would be the first pic I've drawn of this guy, wouldn't it? Well, I remember when I was a kid... and I heard that there was gonna be a teenaged Batman TV show. Everyone was psyched. Except me. "A teenaged Batman???? Makes no sense!" So, I didn't watch the show. Then I saw the movie BATMAN BEYOND: RETURN OF THE JOKER.... and I was hooked. The idea of a teenaged Batman really works when Bruce Wayne is old and someone else has to carry the Mantle of the Bat.

Thanks to the HUB TV station for showing the old animated series... now I get the joy that I ignorantly refused in my childhood =/

NIGHTWING

Been a while since I updated this thing or since I even drew a picture of Nightwing. I was pretty happy when a friend, Thierry, asked me to draw him. Nightwing is one of the coolest characters in the DC Universe, but sometimes he's the most underrated. People don't see the potential he has and the writers themselves don't show it.

So here's to the legacy of Nightwing that has yet to truly be established and here's to Thierry....

SUPERBOY PART 3

Continuing my adoration for Geoff Johns and Francis Manapul's run on Superboy.... in the third issue, Conner teams up with his best friend, Tim (Robin, Red Robin) to help him find Lex Luthor. Their meeting up for the first time takes a different turn as Conner realizes that Tim is punishing himself for the recent "death" of Conner and the even more recent apparent death of Batman.

Here we see that Tim has become like Batman... a brooding character who's borderline obsessing over his mission. It comes apparent that both Conner and Tim are both on missions that others deem as a fool's errand.

Conner wants to prove that Lex Luthor--one-half of his DNA--is capable of doing good...

And Tim wants to prove that Batman--his mentor and adoptive father, who died by the hands of Darkseid in front of countless heroes--is alive...

Thanks to Lawrence for helping me edit this pic.

Hopefully it shows the weight on their shoulders... and bond between them...

SUPERBOY PART 2

Another non-action packed issue of Superboy by Geoff Johns and Francis Manapul that was simply beautiful. Here, Conner (Superboy) reconnects with Cassie (Wonder Girl) and he bares his soul to her. That's all there is to it, basically, and it's wonderful. We get a sense that this is more than just a teenaged fling and that this isn't some mushy, gushy hollow relationship portrayed in the media today.

This is simple.

This is love.
