and I've always shied away from cheesecake pin-ups, but baby needs a

It means I can blast my favorite TV shows in the background at deafening volumes while I do my day job. Or, hey, for art inspiration. So I decided to go back to <i>Twin Peaks</i>. </p><p> I saw some locales when we journeyed to Seattle in June, and that was mind-blowing. I watched the pilot air in Spring 1990, and I was a diehard fan from then on. Just for novelty, I decided to watch "chronologically" and start with <i>Fire Walk With Me</i>. Little did I know after I drew this piece that today -- this very day -- is the 31st anniversary of the film. Wow. That in itself is so very <i>Twin Peaks</i>.<br /></p>Gregoryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17171882320145905906noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-82802996193642186.post-22255331033992041912023-07-21T13:48:00.003-07:002023-07-21T13:48:59.415-07:00X-Men (Kinda) Daily Art: 217 and 218<p> X-Men 217 and 218 see the new team fight Juggernaut in Scotland.

It was to the death. Storm was the dignified outsider in the group, presented as an alien to American culture and morals. She commanded the weather and flew among the clouds. She literally had an air about her.</div></div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">She won that duel by stabbing the Morlock leader in the heart. Callisto didn't die, but the fight was won. A few issues later, Storm went punk in a moment that polarized comic <span><a tabindex="-1"></a></span>fans. The character was fighting to define herself and decided to live beyond her habitual emotional filters to feel more human. She needed to change.</div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div></div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">The world grew darker around the team, and she became its field leader by default when Cyclops left to be a husband to Maddy Pryor. Then she lost her powers via a gizmo invented by a man she fell in love with. A robot from the future was now in their timeline to wipe them all out. Rachel stole her spirit in an effort to kill the Beyonder. Then Wolverine tried to kill Rachel, who later vanished. Then mercenaries slaughtered the Morlocks, whom she was not around to protect. In fighting them, the gentle giant Colossus killed one of them. Storm directed Wolverine to kill as many of the Marauders as he needed to. Colossus and two other teammates were left near death. </div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div></div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">And now Storm is chased by three older, powered folk disillusioned with a world grown cold. They capture the amoral and hunt them to the death, unless they can somehow escape. But Storm can't escape them. She must stop them. And one by one she defeats the trio until she is again in a duel to the death with a knife in her hand. </div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div></div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">Comics had gotten dark. There were always violent peripheral titles. Conan, for instance. But now superheroes in colorful costumes were killing and giving in their anger. The world was less simple. Harder. Lethal. X-Men as a comic reflected that, and it left longtime readers with the same choice as the heroes: What kind of people are we rooting for? What do we hope to see them do? Is the hero just the last character standing? This is Storm's Macbeth moment, for her and us and the title. </div></div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">She doesn't kill the hunter. She chooses to be better than those she fights. And as team leader, her heroes will do the same. An X-Man has a standard. They were created by Xavier to make the world better. You don't do that simply by being the last man standing. </div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div></div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">Also Wolverine, lost in his confused grief over discovering Jean is alive, was unable to save two people killed by one of those hooligans hunted by the trio. He failed as a hero because he couldn't pull himself together. That's also an important lesson for a team driven so often by angst. </div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div></div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">And this is what the issue leaves us with: Get off your ass and be better then the world around you.

Turns out, though, that he is actually talking to a robot Kitty. The real one overhears it all, and the two return to the school on better terms -- friends and teammates once more.</div></div></span></div></div></div></div><p></p>Gregoryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17171882320145905906noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-82802996193642186.post-2653084830400934182023-05-05T11:49:00.007-07:002023-05-05T11:49:55.019-07:00X-Men Daily Art: X-Men 196<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnrL2oKkuD1y3Hlr3Y8B55r1S1nhb4VJiZXHPRvxpmesF2_HvW98X83XoWbPzO1XrBF0UytN0ZXISTcvOmd_iggIPZ1a2TOywqlkhGI6oOrzdCwrm9QT6b3iHqFSQYY7L1N6n5FQYOD0z10r54wgFoe80XMyEUlkRLNcajafvQ8gk5vONkrZy_OBVjQA/s2048/343933362_994812235013797_4869891951883476164_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1599" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnrL2oKkuD1y3Hlr3Y8B55r1S1nhb4VJiZXHPRvxpmesF2_HvW98X83XoWbPzO1XrBF0UytN0ZXISTcvOmd_iggIPZ1a2TOywqlkhGI6oOrzdCwrm9QT6b3iHqFSQYY7L1N6n5FQYOD0z10r54wgFoe80XMyEUlkRLNcajafvQ8gk5vONkrZy_OBVjQA/w500-h640/343933362_994812235013797_4869891951883476164_n.jpg" width="500" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlZlKnD5-j0uPpE2aiTCu551eDgGsiGh67c3g2KOGA6AH8-_snCkns_r7juMkDyXsmWqtKFEVSJmFlf-yM9UbmWfeqKHiMNmQXCgA4yDCkfxTgAkGeOxlX0xD3KNqIOCxXsRdssf3Acag0B70LOvBzKpoUYmiluzThK_3BqIdXe1JKK3zsc4pSAZKgUg/s2048/342917675_226060270180484_2285701922617955671_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1333" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlZlKnD5-j0uPpE2aiTCu551eDgGsiGh67c3g2KOGA6AH8-_snCkns_r7juMkDyXsmWqtKFEVSJmFlf-yM9UbmWfeqKHiMNmQXCgA4yDCkfxTgAkGeOxlX0xD3KNqIOCxXsRdssf3Acag0B70LOvBzKpoUYmiluzThK_3BqIdXe1JKK3zsc4pSAZKgUg/w416-h640/342917675_226060270180484_2285701922617955671_n.jpg" width="416" /></a></div><p></p><div class="" dir="auto"><div class="x1iorvi4 x1pi30zi x1l90r2v x1swvt13" data-ad-comet-preview="message" data-ad-preview="message" id=":r1e6:"><div class="x78zum5 xdt5ytf xz62fqu x16ldp7u"><div class="xu06os2 x1ok221b"><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x1lliihq x1s928wv xhkezso x1gmr53x x1cpjm7i x1fgarty x1943h6x xudqn12 x3x7a5m x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u x1yc453h" dir="auto"><div class="xdj266r x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs x126k92a"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">Life continues to throw jabs at our heroes.

finally makes his move against Juggernaut, a mutant bad guy, as the

has a brainstorm of using Rogue as a one-woman team, and Rogue absorbs
the powers of Kitty, Nightcrawler, and Colossus. The ensuing look
doesn't make a lick of sense, but she damages Nimrod enough to make him
run away. Meanwhile Storm goes to Africa to see if her powers can be

X-Men 192, we get our fourth new bad guy to just show up and exude
villainy in about six months. This time it's Magus, the techno-organic
father to the alien Warlock who is part of the New Mutants team. He
arrives as new X-Men leader Nightcrawler puts Rogue and Colossus through
their paces. For her, he tries to unlock the "Marvel sense" she stole
from Carol Danvers. He chooses to tickle her into predicting his next
move and, when she flies off angry, he realizes he took liberties with a
person who can't touch anyone. Magus arrives, and Rogue uses her power
on him to weaken him. He runs off. The others welcome back Kitty and

It's 40 pages when most comics are less than 25. It's pencilled by Barry Windsor-Smith, a legend of line work, a real fine artist among cartoonists. It's a story mostly between two people: the recently depowered Storm and Forge, the mutant engineer who made the weapon that took her powers, but she doesn't know that. It reads like a one-act play, and it has time to work the corners when most comics are fastballs across the plate. Something horrible has happened to a character already in turmoil, and we get to see her process it in a pace rarely seen in monthly comics.</div></div><p></p><div class="" dir="auto"><div class="x1iorvi4 x1pi30zi x1swvt13 x1l90r2v" data-ad-comet-preview="message" data-ad-preview="message" id=":rq:"><div class="x78zum5 xdt5ytf xz62fqu x16ldp7u"><div class="xu06os2 x1ok221b"><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x1lliihq x1s928wv xhkezso x1gmr53x x1cpjm7i x1fgarty x1943h6x xudqn12 x3x7a5m x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u x1yc453h" dir="auto"><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">Meanwhile Rogue is pursuing the feds who tried to use the weapon on her so they can point the way to Storm.

Peter loses, and Logan tells Peter he deserves it, especially since he never even thanked Kitty for almost marrying someone else and forsaking her life and the very sun to save him. And then we find out Juggernaut's date is an ancient vampire who was this close to killing him.</div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDoJ8tCXNioPYzjXTojGL1Px8e0JkYXr90eO87QbV8V_ATL0OWWdrFDBQdQx5ecR53xsAMuxjIem6YjQzRllJfgfCv4mMUvHhaETT5PrSCXB3YBfxgCJ9st8uylq2KF4lIJuafIOqLuLimJEm_tF7cJCAppLV_F2qbFPbkppzCf2Crn58XgUZMvF6UNQ/s2048/339088275_936227377497116_6990044538577146685_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1497" data-original-width="2048" height="468" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDoJ8tCXNioPYzjXTojGL1Px8e0JkYXr90eO87QbV8V_ATL0OWWdrFDBQdQx5ecR53xsAMuxjIem6YjQzRllJfgfCv4mMUvHhaETT5PrSCXB3YBfxgCJ9st8uylq2KF4lIJuafIOqLuLimJEm_tF7cJCAppLV_F2qbFPbkppzCf2Crn58XgUZMvF6UNQ/w640-h468/339088275_936227377497116_6990044538577146685_n.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /> </div></div></span></div></div></div></div>Gregoryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17171882320145905906noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-82802996193642186.post-2742309953358548492023-04-03T13:49:00.007-07:002023-04-03T13:49:45.326-07:00X-Men Daily Art: X-Men 182<p><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x1lliihq x1s928wv xhkezso x1gmr53x x1cpjm7i x1fgarty x1943h6x xudqn12 x3x7a5m x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u x1yc453h" dir="auto">X-Men
182 is a sad issue. Rogue went to Xavier about ten issues earlier
because she permanently absorbed the powers and memories of Carol
Danvers, and she was losing her sense of self. In this issue, her
memories mix with Carol's when a Danvers friend needs rescuing, and she
again bounces between personalities while the Danvers friend, a SHIELD
agent, tries to make sense of it and eventually says he wishes he could
kill Rogue for the damage done to Carol. Rogue, exhausted and <span></span>despondent, wishes he could too.</span></p><p><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x1lliihq x1s928wv xhkezso x1gmr53x x1cpjm7i x1fgarty x1943h6x xudqn12 x3x7a5m x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u x1yc453h" dir="auto"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFdOZCP_I_RSt3WYBZSpZw2qSph6KTgOvv6FtEtwpdQ5rR9r_z2MfUn1vh1TNcVLXmoBYeSh-NYbqiRnBli-uIgIy85lonm7lQBcAV7ZvAo_A-3J8dMzJwpEW9zTG1yJo7LRyBarmMbDbQfp2tdojtFbbGScyCX53MeFJZDDk8nOxJqzFuK03v9sbSzQ/s2048/339138815_3501169993538956_8421211820826086512_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1466" data-original-width="2048" height="458" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFdOZCP_I_RSt3WYBZSpZw2qSph6KTgOvv6FtEtwpdQ5rR9r_z2MfUn1vh1TNcVLXmoBYeSh-NYbqiRnBli-uIgIy85lonm7lQBcAV7ZvAo_A-3J8dMzJwpEW9zTG1yJo7LRyBarmMbDbQfp2tdojtFbbGScyCX53MeFJZDDk8nOxJqzFuK03v9sbSzQ/w640-h458/339138815_3501169993538956_8421211820826086512_n.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7UeqJsYuTCvOsguS-BSv2zdKy5uyRngxVZvPQXimgI2jV09S-hiSQxe5mjBog--Pa7XryRR18p5el4VOohRwP0jIMAQPvfeWS0gooZAyGLIKxUsXXr9nTQWR0mv5a0WS_BLTVR5bs6T_2RZmyzwy-twse7lRs617wUMHoMEMzoY0lR8oEGlDrdIZUYA/s2048/339339838_507064184781617_6150306173074851979_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1328" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7UeqJsYuTCvOsguS-BSv2zdKy5uyRngxVZvPQXimgI2jV09S-hiSQxe5mjBog--Pa7XryRR18p5el4VOohRwP0jIMAQPvfeWS0gooZAyGLIKxUsXXr9nTQWR0mv5a0WS_BLTVR5bs6T_2RZmyzwy-twse7lRs617wUMHoMEMzoY0lR8oEGlDrdIZUYA/w416-h640/339339838_507064184781617_6150306173074851979_n.jpg" width="416" /></a></div><br /> <p></p>Gregoryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17171882320145905906noreply@blogger.com0
