Boom.

Layla Dobbs, professional bank robber.  She still gets a kick out of it, but sometimes she needs to add some extra bang to the proceedings.  Time for something new, I suppose.  Whatever will she do?

Wam.

Calvin Ward, aka Wingman, longtime sidekick to the Aviator.  Is there an maximum age for sidekicks?  Apparently not.

Britty McEnglish plays a great Sherlock.

As proper as an Englishman can be. Which is very.

Also known as Benedict Cumberbatch.  But really, is that any less British?

I’m a big fan of the BBC series.  And although I’ve not visited the land across the pond as of yet, the show’s muted color palette really reinforces the image of a grey and gloomy England in my mind’s eye.  A magical place of Arthurian mythology, filled with dragons, Monty Python, and gangsters from Guy Ritchie movies.  None of which helps them get any sunshine.

Critics Love Liquored Hamm!

Boozin' and smokin' the workday away. Oh, the 60s.

This month sees the long-awaited return of one of my favorite TV shows, Mad Men.  Besides the great storytelling, I love the stylized 60s aesthetic, even in images that promote the show, like the Mad Men logo that provided the inspiration for this doodle.

Don Draper is a fascinating character, and Jon Hamm just exudes all kinds of cool.

Batman?! Again?!

Batman can't catch a break. Until he does.

Listen, saying I’m looking forward to this movie would be like the Colonel saying he couldn’t wait for the new batch of chickens he was going to fry up to arrive.  As a Batman fan, it goes without saying.

However, that Kentucky fried enthusiasm for the movie only carried through in the conception of this picture, because at some point during the pencilling I just rushed to get it inked because I wanted to get to the Photoshop practicing.  As a result, the lines got sloppier, and I got less finger-licking satisfaction out of this picture than the last Batman one.

Plus, the Heath Joker is just a lot more visually interesting than Tom Hardy Bane.  It’s like comparing fried chicken to boiled chicken.  And I am not talking about the performances of the actors nor the tastes of the differently prepared poultry.  Both, I am sure, are worth my time and enthusiasm, but visually I’d rather be looking at a plate of Southern fried chicken smothered in gravy than a boiled chicken leg.

I’m going to end there, as I need to go get some food in me.  Possibly from a bucket.  But here’s another doodle just because this post excedes two paragraphs (that’s a rule, yeah?).  And always remember:  Do not get chicken grease on your comic books.

An oldie from the sketchbook, Owlman!

P. F. Toddler!

As I said in my last post, I’m a big fan of comedian Paul F. Tompkins.  I recently started a Twitter account (@thejchriswong), which, so far, has been for the sole purpose of tweeting my PFT fan art.  Here’s the latest, which draws inspiration from Paul’s last two appearances on the Who Charted? podcast.

Doug Benson, Garry Marshall, PFT, Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber

Here’s another from a few weeks back, based on PFT’s appearance on the Doug Loves Movies podcast.  I’d explain the context, but really, just go listen.  Who Carted? and DLM are really funny podcasts worth checking out in their own right.

Paul was kind enough to retweet both these drawings.

Famous Comedian Paul F. Tompkins

I’m finally getting around to teaching myself Photoshop, albeit slowly.  I just colored this picture I drew a while ago of my favorite comedian, Paul F. Tompkins.  I attended his stand-up show on Saturday and had a really good time.  His comedy has really evolved from when I first heard him.  For a guy who’s first album is entitled Impersonal, he gets really personal these days with his storytelling.  His anecdotes make me analyze my own life, if you can believe it.  And even if you don’t, they still do.

Batman does not appreciate a good magic trick.

This was fun to draw.  One of my favorite movies.  Definitely my favorite superhero.  On a related note, I just started reading Supergods by Grant Morrison.  It’s right up my comic book geek alley.

Nice gun, Dude.

My dad is a pretty big cinefile, so I was exposed to some pretty awesome movies at a young age.  Though now as an adult (for the most part), I find myself disagreeing with the old man’s taste in films.  For example, he does not like the Coen Brothers.  Meanwhile, I can quote the entirety of The Big Lebowski.  Ah, well.

Here’s a drawing I made of their adaptation of True Grit, another great Coen/Jeff Bridges collaboration.

Chris Reeve had good posture.

Superman

Look! Standing on the ground! It's Superman!

And for my first(ish) post here’s a study I drew of the first superhero.  I used Christopher Reeve in the first Superman movie as reference.  My mom used to tell me I was named after him.  Although not true, that piece of non-trivia still stays with me.
