So my sister just pointed out that Matt Cohen would be a hot Dr. Strange, can this happen please? I even fixed a picture. (this picture has been edited and the original was stolen from this photoset but I’m making it its own post since tumblr deleted my reblog wtf)
He would be an awesome Dr. Strange and he has the look! He can look older with some facial hair and is young enough to not go senile by the time his third movie rolls around. I personally think he should at least be considered!
Here’s the stitch: I got an amazing opportunity to intern for the comic company Archaia this summer in LA, the downside is that I currently like if smalltown North Carolina on the other side of the country. I have already made a post of the art books that I am selling [here] in order to raise money for gas to get over there but I am also going to do a commission sale!If you see anything in my gallery that you would like as a print it is just a flat $10 plus shipping.
Commissions:
To make it easy I’m doing the same price for traditional and digital so its your choice.
sketch- $5
line-art/inks - $10
colored - $15
(I’ll do fanart and OC’s and fashion design … and pretty much almost everything lol)
Shipping:
Everything will be sent digitally but if you want an actual print of the artwork mailed to you there will be a shipping fee. For the US shipping will be $5 but if you’re outside of the US let me know and I’ll give you an estimate!
Payment:

____
If you’re interested shoot me an email at [wjleopard (at) gmail.com] with what prints you want or if you would like a commission! and we’ll go from there!
Thank you!
(and if you can’t please signal boost!)
I am moving to LA and need to make some gas money so I have decided to part with some of my loved art books. There is a bit of a variety but I am sure you will notice they are mainly manga artists. Some of these books I am selling only because I have a duplicate and others because while I do enjoy the art I am sure someone else will love it anymore.
In case you can’t see the books very well here is a list:
Gurren Lagan Grounwork 1 and 2
Gurren Lagan Official fanbook
Watching the Watchmen
Vertigo Visions
Speed Racer complete collection Robot 1 and 2 Comickers

I promise to post more art soon, but I’m kind of in love with Jeremy Renner at the moment and felt the need to share this.
Sing along if you know the words.

The Avengers opens in theaters in the US on May 4th, and it’s going to do blockbuster business. The individual films featuring these characters have already grossed more than $2.2 billion dollars - that’s greater than the Gross National Product of almost half the countries on Earth - and it’s not unlikely that The Avengers will earn a hundred million dollars on its opening day alone.
This represents a pretty big payday to a lot of people - the actors, obviously, will take home pretty big paychecks. The director and the writers are well-compensated, and certainly the executives who greenlighted this project get to sit back and rake in large bonuses and healthy salaries.
Well, you know where this is going; shamefully, the people who aren’t making a big profit from these movies are the people (and the families of the people) who did the essential work of creating them in the first place. It’s not just Jack Kirby, either, or (Black Widow and Hawkeye co-creator) Don Heck, but also Steve Engelhart, Peter David, Herb Trimpe, Jim Steranko, Roy Thomas and dozens more - the artists and writers who refined and defined the characters appearing in this movie, who fleshed out the original creations and molded them into the figures we cheer for when we see them on the screen.
Some very sensible people are calling for a boycott of this film on those grounds, but I think it’s fairly obvious that a boycott of idealistic comic fans isn’t going to accomplish much - it’s not only comic book fans who’ll be dropping a collective billion dollars over the next eight weeks to see this movie, it’s going to be a lot of movie-goers who haven’t read a comic since they were kids, much less know anything of the controversy.
Plus, of course, you - the collective “you”, representing comic book fans all over the world - want to see this movie. And you’re going to, most likely, right? Even though you know of the morally shady practices of Marvel towards its creators, they’ve got you hooked. Don’t be ashamed, they’ve had you hooked for years. It’s what they do.
So how about this: You’re probably going to go see The Avengers and, judging by the early reviews, you’ll probably enjoy it. How about - as a thank you to the creators who brought you these characters in the first place, who gave you something to enjoy so much - you match your ticket price as a donation to The Hero Initiative?
THI is a charity which provides essential financial assistance to comic book professionals who have fallen on hard times; for decades, the comic industry provided no financial safety net to its employees, most of whom it regarded only as freelancers and journeymen, meaning they were offered no health insurance, no unemployment insurance, no retirement plans - none of the financial support most of us enjoy from our jobs and careers. A small donation will help this agency provide a valuable safety net in times of need to these beloved entertainers.
I don’t plan on seeing The Avengers, but I’ve donated $15 - the price of a 3-D ticket - to Hero. If every concerned comic fan - every superhero aficionado who learned to live by the lessons of altruism and sacrifice taught by these comics - donated the price of their ticket, well, it may not hit a billion dollars but it’ll bring in a lot of money for a good and relevant cause.
One last note: Remember what Spider-Man always says? “With great power comes great responsibility”. The lesson in that is that everyone has great power. Spider-Man’s great power is being able to lift a bus. Your great power is the ability to help good causes do good work for good reasons - so why not go be a superhero instead of just watching them on the screen…
(PS: “Liking” this post is nice, thank you, but reblogging/retweeting it helps get the message out and would be even more appreciated)
GOOD IDEA. If you care at all about the artists and writers who’ve been building these imaginary worlds for you over the last half-century, kick the cost of a ticket over to The Hero Initiative. I’m definitely not missing out on a Joss Whedon Avengers movie, dudes, but for crying out loud, the creators who MADE THIS STUFF UP often die in poverty, because the system is set up to exploit creativity for corporate profit rather than live up to the ideals espoused by the two dimensional heroes the Big Two think they “own.” Seriously, do this. Good idea.
“After a while, just talking to them was no longer enough.”
well shit is this a horror movie
“You can’t trust someone who thinks you’re crazy.”
okay
“I don’t know, something… not naked.”
So the movie about my life is not a porno, I can deduce that much.
“Were art to redeem man, it could do so only by saving him from the seriousness of life and restoring him to an unexpected boyishness.”
…yes, good.
Oh goody. I heard you were like this, I’m so glad it’s true. - my friends would totally agree…
“At whose approach ghosts, wandering here and there.”
I approve.
“ I don’t have prejudice, I hate everyone equally. ”
Yes. Yes, this is my life.
“Look, defenseless babies!”
This cannot end well
“It’s hard to lose weight when you’re dining on the company’s money.”
Doe this mean I’m going to get fat, but live relatively fabulously? I mean really.
“I talk about the gods, I am an atheist. But I am an artist too, and therefore a liar. Distrust everything I say. I am telling the truth.”
Perfection.
“Insanity is relative. It depends on who has who locked in what cage.”
…I accept this.
“I have with me two gods, Persuasion and Compulsion.”
Now I just to figure out what the title will be.
I completely disagree with this because usually all I focus on is other people’s flaws, but at the same time the more flawed they are the more likely I am to love them. If I wanted perfection I would just spend all day talking to myself in a mirror (kidding) but I do agree with being able to love others at their worst.
If you can’t love people at their worst than you don’t really love them, right?
This is a print that I did for AnimeBoston this past weekend of my favorite new Bending trio. I must say, I didn’t think I was going to fall in love with Korra as soon as I did but man, she is perfect haha.
Drew them very fashionable because that is what I do, maybe they are at an award ceremony, or maybe they just wanted a night on the town, either way I think these guys look hot.
Can’t wait for the show!
So Friday afternoon outside the dealers room my friend Logan (Rorschach) proposed to her boyfriend Kyle (Deadpool).
He said yes, in case you were wondering. :p
Okay, I did not know this but this is absolutely amazing and made my day. I did two commissions for these people and I wish I had known Deadpool and Rorschach had gotten engaged! This is fantastic. You guys are a cute couple and I wish you the best.
Yay AnimeBoston!
