Um. So I’ve been playing a lot of Arkham Asylum recently, and I think it’s pretty much the ultimate fantasy version of being Batman.
Provided your idea of the perfect Batman is hiding in tubes a lot.

So decided to try to do a really quick portrait of Roger Ebert.
There was a period of my life, when I was an adolescent, where I would watch At The Movies every single week, to hear his opinion on things, and to find out about movies.
In the last decade, while he battled cancer, and dealt with surgical complications, the explosion of writing that he did was amazing. To call him prolific wouldn’t even come close.
While I didn’t always agree with what he said (including his absolute hatred of the movie The Usual Suspects), he almost always seemed like a thoughtful and usually kind man, and, more importantly, a person with a deep and abiding love for an artform, who wanted to share that enthusiasm with the world, and to inspire that in others.

So I was working on a short film thing where the director asked me to give someone a tattoo of “Sexy Jesus”
This was the basic template for the makeup work that I did. I forgot to take a picture, so…. I’ll post the finished results whenever I get a screencapture from the short. Which might be a while.
The actual, finished version, on the actress, had the words I Would Die 4 U written on the banner.
SPOILERS, the original sketches that turned into this were one of the things I sent to someone.
But then I wanted to put it up…
I would have preferred to hand-letter it, but with just my mouse, that would have been AWFUL.
In 2002, at the height of his popularity in the US and Canada, Tom Green went to Japan for two weeks, to film a special called Subway Monkey Hour.
It was either really funny or horribly xenophobic. Either way, he found a robot Santa in a mall and grabbed it’s dong, and for whatever reason, that bit is really funny to me.
I was having a conversation yesterday about the overabundance of D.I.Y. OR DIE tattoos, and trying to think of some way to make that better, following an offer for a DIY tattoo. My first thought was that it might be really funny to get a tattoo that says D.I.Y. AND DIE, with a skull with a bunch of screws and nails stuck in his head, and then somehow I jumped to thinking about Tim Allen’s character on Home Improvement, and I decided to see if I could do a mockup of a pseudo-Sailor Jerry flash of Tim The Tool Man Taylor. So here is that effort. It was definitely a funny learning experience.
Edit: If the tags are to be believed, this is the first thing on tumblr labeled Home Improvement Fan Art. I hope I have hit a niche that will soon burst open. Also nothing came up when I googled Tim Allen Tattoos. I am breaking so much ground with this post.
Here’s a drawing of Steve Buscemi as a mummy. A Steve Buscemummy if you will. A spooky Steve Buscemummy. So that’s pretty cool I guess.
So, I really miss Michael Clarke Duncan. And I’m really charmed by thinking of a children’s book about John Coffey going off and having an adventure with Del’s mouse. I hope they get to the mouse city.
Also, I want more Green Mile fan art. Draw some more Green Mile fan art. Tumblr, start acting cool like you do about Doctor Who but with the dramatic novellas of Stephen King. Gimme some homemade Misery hobbling gifs with wacky captions.
