I know I know, I am kinda late (movie is from 2001) but I never had chance to watch it until tonight.
LOVED it!
And felt compelled to do a quick tribute: such a strong iconic image :)
Hope you guys dig it.

Cheers,
Francesco

Hello guys,

GARRISON #2 just came out this week and the first reviews seem to confirm the general consensus: this is GOOD story all around! :D
So why not pre-order issue 5 while you are at the store picking up issue 2? :)

24

~~ click on the image for larger view ~~

Alright, so last night I watched this week's episode of "24" (which I DVRed on Monday) and I have to say, while the seasons have seen highs and lows, the whole sequence of Jack Bauer kidnapping the (former) President Logan was one of the coolest things I have seen on TV in quite some time. The cold resolution he act in that sequence, the super cool outfit, the way he put his boot on the hole of the windshield after throwing in the car the gas bomb... Yeah, that's what 24 should have been all time.
It reminded me a bit of Mann's "HEAT" in the very first sequence of the attack to the safe truck, everyone pretty much wearing that same cool hockey masks :)

Anyhow, I couldn't help this morning - as a warmup - tributing "24" at one of its finest scene.
Hope you guys dig it.

Cheers,
Francesco

HellBoy in Mexico

~~ click on the image for larger view ~~

Hello guys,

The new book "HELLBOY IN MEXICO" by Mike Mignola and Richard Corben was released today, so i thought to play close to the topic of the book with this tribute. I haven't read (or picked up) the book yet, so all of this is just a guess, a Mexican guess, that's it :)

Now let's all go tot he store to pick up that bad boy, if you haven't done it yet :)

HellBoy Vs The Giant Eye

~~ click on the image for larger view ~~

Hello guys,

With the blessing of Dark Horse, I am dedicating this whole week to one of my favorite comic characters: HELLBOY! :)
Been a huge fan of the Big Red and its incredibly talented dad, Mike Mignola, since the beginning and with the release of a new new HB book this week, I thought it was appropriate to pay tribute by posting some new and some (almost) never seen before HellBoy artwork I have done here and there :)

To start, one of my fav illos (from 2007): Hellboy Vs the Giant Eye (with included lovecraftian tentacles ;))

Hope you guys enjoy it and tune in tomorrow for some mo' Hellboy :)
