Ewok


I asked him a few times during his portrait if it was Warwick Davis inside, and he continued to say no and snarl at me. Oh well, you can buy him at Etsy until he’s gone or until Lucas sues me.

Fanaticon!

Fanaticon was a great show. They estimate over 3,000 people attended during the 7 hours we were open. I am happy to let some creature paintings find new homes today, and was surprised that the Bob Peas button was a hit with the preteenage girl crowd. One girl even bought two! Needless to say she will be the coolest girl at school Monday. Jessica sold alot of artwork as well, and more importantly we made lots of new friends. We both can’t wait to attend next year’s Fanaticon.

Iron Man 2


I liked Iron Man 2. In fact things I liked better in this one. Better Villian. Mickey Rourke is cooler than Bald Jeff Bridges. There I said it. I also liked that CGI is now good enough that fight scenes aren’t a blurry mess. You can actually see the motion and it looks like a real fight. WAR MACHINE. Awesome.
Alot of critics and people I know hate that Marvel is making each movie about the Avengers. I think it’s a bold step and if it works can you imagine the cinematic universe they would create? The easter egg at the end of the credits makes me wonder what timeline we are dealing with in regards to a certain Norseman. And maybe it makes sense now that Kenneth Branagh is directing Thor if it takes place in Asgard more than Earth. Either way, I thought Iron Man was fun, and my only real negative is I sometimes thought Downey took the Stark Ego just a little too far, even for Tony. Otherwise solid sequel, and a nice romp in Marvel land.
