959
My first proper post-it sketch in a very long time.
955. Batman
I really missed drawing Batman.
954
The Sad Monster returns.
952. Pennywise
Yesterday I got a chance to see the new adaptation of Stephen King’s IT. I don’t remember much of the 90s TV miniseries, other than Harry Anderson of Night Court fame played the adult version of Richie. I also don’t remember much about the book. I don’t consider it the best King book I’ve read, but it’s definitely the only book that ever actually scared me.
So, the new movie is the “past” section of the story, and, while it has some lulls, weak acting, and logic issues, it is very creepy and intense. Most of the kids are great, but Bill Skarsgard is absolutely incredible as the new Pennywise – when he isn’t just a weird CG thing, that is. But when he’s just being a menacing clown… oh fuck. Seriously, his very 1st scene alone is worth seeing the movie.
We all float down here.
951. Thundarr the Barbarian
Locally-based Kyle Hotz is an amazing comic artist, and he’s intimidating as hell. 1st of all, there’s the whole amazing art thing of which I fall short. 2nd, I’m pretty sure he’s taller than me, and at 6’3″, I’m no slouch. Plus he’s ripped like Stallone, Schwarzenegger, and Lundgren all in their primes, and I’m a fat asthmatic. He’s also an incredibly nice guy and I’m a raging asshat.
There’s a lot to live up to.
So, about a month ago my dear departed friend Joe G. suggested I draw something Thundarr the Barbarian related. I said sure. I finished the drawing yesterday, only to see Kyle Hotz draw a fantastic Thundarr. I can’t compete. But. Here’s my dumb take.
