Touch me. Touch me like you didn't touch me last night.

Remember the Hero / Villain-a-Day thing? That I started about three years ago? And have completed only a dozen-plus of?

Well, zundian had a double-request, so here we go...



For those of you who don't get this preposterously comic-geeky joke, there's Ambush Bug, who is...well, there's...and Matter Eater Lad has...if...

Fuck it, it made me laugh, but probably because I was up until Stupid O'Clock drawing the damn thing.

Shut up, Shut Up, SHUT UP OH GOD I CAN HEAR YOU IN MY MIND!

Love,

First off, I drew evil_egg  for...ummm...evil_egg . It's also for my Hero-A-Day Month project:

Second, I'm reposting my brother Matthew's favorite story of mine.

WHY MUST I FEEL SO BUSY?!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



     I still don’t know why I’m waiting for her. My canvas shoes are sucking up the rain water like little Hoovers and the newspaper over my head is soaked all the way through to the Metro section. I promised I’d meet her here at midnight, but it’s gotta be one by now. Maybe she didn’t want to head out in the rain. Maybe she missed her bus. Maybe she decided to rethink meeting with a convicted arsonist in the middle of the night. Surely all the water would make her feel safe about the last one.

    I’m slumped like a hunchback, trying to keep the drops of water on my head and off my cigarette. She always told me she thought smoking was sexy if the right person was doing it.

    “A bum can make a cigarette look hot," she'd say, "just like a model can look ugly if she's not doing it right. You’ve got to smoke it like you mean it, but not like you need it. Tease that Lark pack. Make it want you more than you want it.”

    She didn’t always make a hell of a lot of sense, but she could kiss days off your life and her brain was so smart it had its own. I never thought I deserved her. She didn’t think so either, but she said she hated people who were smarter than her. There aren't many of those, and she tends to punch any that she finds.

    It's wet, I'm cold, and my alcohol-blood level is getting dangerously low. If I head for the nearest glass of port, she's sure to show up right here as soon as I start warming my bar stool. Maybe it's the chance I need to take.

    “Don’t turn your back on me, you son of a bitch,” she says as I start walking away.

    “Where have you been?”

    “Hiding between raindrops. Existing as a quantum possibility. Eating cereal in the middle of the night.”

    She grabs me and I kiss her like her lips are trying to escape.


Happy Norse God of Prettiness Day,

Today's Hero A Day is a request by shadowofsummer :



I am perpetually taking requests for more, thereby guaranteeing that I'll never ever finish them all.

Also, my arm really hurts.

Smooches,

b

So here I am, ready to post another of my Hero A Day drawings, when I get an envelope in the mail with art that makes me insanely happy while simultaneously driving me to urinate all over my own stuff.

First, let's take a look at this thing i can't draw, a request by funranium; "Dude, give me Captain Britain in his full Britannic glory!"

Well...



And now let's pause for some REAL art.

What arrived in the mail was a piece of magnificence by Michel Fiffe (aka zegas) comic writer and artist extraordinare.

His works include PANORAMA, originally published online at act_i_vate and later in comic form in BRAWL, and various segments in the anthology comic NEGATIVE BURN.

This is his PANORAMA character Augustus, sporting a t-shirt inspired by two comics  I did.



I...

Yeah. Boom-de-ah-da, motherfuckers.

Sometimes life really kicks the right balls.

Love,

b

I've finally done another Hero A Day, after fixing all of the links for the drawings in the old posts.

the_crowchan asked for Black Canary, or maybe Plastic Man, so I gave her both.



Man, I really need to get all the crap off of my scanner at home. I'm tired of the paper turning up gray because of crappy public terminals.

Anyway, the quest to catch up continues, and I'm actually picking up speed. I've even got a proper list written down on a proper piece of paper so I don't have to keep going back to consult comments from old entries.

YOU CAN STILL REQUEST A DRAWING!
Do so in the comments.

I'm gonna go eat a banana.

For Halloween, I did evil_egg's Hero A Day request:

I finally got around to doing my latest HERO A DAY drawing.

This one's fer thewalkingman  . It's for el_jake  , too, I guess, but not as much.

This one's got audio accompaniment.
Right click and OPEN AS A NEW TAB THIS LINK for the music.

Oh, John Rambo...
You're just what your country made you to be.

pure_doxyk 's request for A Hero a Day is up on the block today

She wanted The Greatest Secret Agent In The World.

You know...this fellow?




I took way longer on this than I had intended to. I just kept wanting to add stuff.
Oh, and I kept watching Drunken Master II as I worked on it.

I'm gonna clean up my pencils then go to sleep. I'm not going to hit post until tomorrow morning, though. Anyway, after you scope my crappy drawing, you kids go check out himynameisjamie and ericfmyers, the original and second-original starters of the Hero A Day thing.
