Commissions from a six year old
Oct. 10th, 2013 10:41 amA few weeks back, I was watching a friends daughter while she took care of some stuff at work. To keep her occupied, I brought out my sketchbook and asked her for comic ideas. This is what she came up with...
First she asked for Spongebob. And I apologized to her for my inability to draw him properly (I haven't watched the show in years)
Then she told me all about the Lego Batman Movie she watched the night before (I didn't even know that movie existed!). And started asking for Batman comics. And that's when things got fun!
First, she wanted a Batgirl drawing:
Then she asked me to draw Catwoman running away from a police man and a dog:
( Insanity under the cut.... )
Kid commissions are fun!! :)

The DC Comics Toaster Bath

Before the wank begins, let me make it clear that I'm NOT trying to make light of suicide. I'm just mocking DC's latest attempt to drive away it's dwindling female fanbase.
I made this doodle as a response to DC Comic's current art contest to win a job drawing the upcoming revamped Harley Quinn comic book series. Basically, aspiring artists are being asked to show their skills by drawing Harley attempting suicide in a variety of "hilarious" ways. And one of the things they're asking the entrants to draw is:
""
PANEL 4
Harley sitting naked in a bathtub with toasters, blow dryers, blenders, appliances all dangling above the bathtub and she has a cord that will release them all. We are watching the moment before the inevitable death. Her expression is one of “oh well, guess that’s it for me” and she has resigned herself to the moment that is going to happen.

In the wake of Roger Ebert's recent death, this Mask of the Phantasm review from the Siskel&Ebert show back in the 90s began making the rounds on YouTube.
Even though the circumstances are awful; it's really great to see this again because I clearly remember being so thrilled when I saw this review on television as a kid. And I gained a tremendous respect for both men for having the humility to APOLOGIZE for skipping the movie back when it was in theatres in imploring their audience to overlook the fact that it's a cartoon and seek it out.
My only bit of contention is their dissing of Mark Hamill as the Joker. Because really.....Jack Nicholson has NOTHING on Mark Hamill! ~_^
RIP Siskel and Ebert

Batman is VERY strict about gym etiquette.
Batman: The Brave and the Bold is one of the most awesome superhero shows EVER! It has the perfect blend of badass and camp that makes superhero stories so much fun and this episode showcases it in spades. Sadly, the Europeans got to see this on TV before we did (they took our jobs cartoons!). But, thanks to the power of YouTube, we yanks can take it back. Enjoy!

The Pairing with the most baggage:
Bruce Wayne and Andrea Beaumont: Batman - Mask of the Phantasm
Phantasm is, in my opinion, the best Batman movie ever made. It has everything: romance, drama, kick ass action, suspense, a great mystery, and Kevin Conroy & Mark Hamill.
The ending always chokes me up. Andrea and Bruce could have had a happy life together. Bruce desperately wanted an excuse to give up being Batman and start a normal, happy family like he had before his parents died (the scene where he's at his parents' grave begging for a sign that it's OK for him to give up Batman for Andrea is extremely powerful). But it all fell apart simply because they couldn’t agree on the correct way to channel their grief and anger. I’d go on, but I don’t want to spoil it for anyone who hasn’t seen it yet. Even if you're not a Batman fan, please check it out if you haven't seen it. You wont be disappointed (but you might cry for a while).
