It was a pretty tough ride. Your ass would've hurt too!

Holy crap Batman, it has been a long time since I made a post on FriedMush!  I am sick of apologizing for my laziness sooo don’t ask.  :) Now, on to the good stuff…

I am back with a vengeance, after finding a new outlook on life with a renewed energy and attitude.  With that being said, I was thinking of this wonderful Winter we are having here in the Northeast US.  Last Winter, we had around 80+/- inches of snow…this year, we are at only 7+/-.  We had a huge blizzard in October that messed with my favorite holiday/anniversary Halloween.  The 2+ feet of snow that polluted our hallowed leaf ridden eve, does not count towards Winter, because it was in the FALL. Mind you, it melted the next day and we dealt with massive power outages for the next month, but I digress.  My kids were telling me the other morning that they wanted to go sledding and make snowmen.  I had to inform them that it was hard to do in 50 degree weather and no snow.

That got me thinking though, how can I spend time with the kids and be anywhere near as crafty as my wife is? (Read: impossible).  Then, I found a cool paper snowflake making craft.  An excerpt from it stated:

…you may need an Exacto knife for some of the designs

Sorry kids, this project has now become a ME project!  They are freakin’ STAR WARS themed snowflakes. You can get the templates HERE.  They are just way too cool not to try…not that I have yet, since apparently I procrastinate on everything (read: haven’t updated my blog in over a year).

Oh I see where the Exacto knife might come in handy.

So go and check out this pretty cool project.  Hey, even make a few for the kids (regardless of age – yes, I am looking at you 30 year old kid). Come on, I am 32 and dig these! Let me know how they turn out!

***Disclaimer***
These pictures are AWESOME.  With that being said, they are a little on the risque side – artsy, but risque.  Now that I have that out of the way, onto the good stuff!

I came across these amazing drawings a couple of weeks ago.  My first thought was “Sh*t, how did I end up on one of those freaky Japanese hentai sites?”  Then, I realized there wasn’t enough tentacles, the girls still have shirts on, and the artwork was just way to good, professional, mainstream, <insert adjective here> for that stuff.  Plus you have to notice that they are not trying to kill anyone.  Not that I look at those sites mind you.  Nope, these drawings were done by acclaimed comic book artist J. Scott Campbell.  If the drawings look familiar in style, then you might want to look at Campbell’s earlier work of Danger girl and Gen 13.




Some amazing stuff huh?  Well if you like his stuff, he is now working with Marvel Comics on a special Spider-Man comic.  Let us not focus on what he has coming up, but let us look at what he is working on now…these sinful sketches are from the Fairy Tale Fantasy collection and are available as limited run prints.

And without further adieu…the rest of the pictures.


Christopher Uminga is a freakin’ genius!  He is the mastermind behind the paintings/drawings I am posting on here. I really like the way he paints everything so zombie like. His drawings have so much to say while truly being painted in a  surreal way.

I am an illustrator and a painter. I see monsters in my head and I put them on paper or canvas and let them play.This is my art;I paint and draw things that make me happy.

My favorite painting that I have posted has to be The Joker.  The absolute insanity Christopher portrays in his eyes is awesome.  The blood stained card and hands – exceptional!  Let us not forget he painted The Joker in true form to the original Joker in the Batman series, right down to his corsage.  What he paints is true new age masterpieces.

I know I posted mostly, OK, entirely comic book characters, but he also creates more than just that. If it goes bump in the night or possibly in the day, Christopher will paint it, hell he will even paint your insanities for a price.  If you want to check out more of his work or commission him to paint you a masterpiece, you can click here.  If you really like his stuff and want to have updates of what he is doing you can befriend him on FaceBook here.  Oh, and if you want to get updates from me on FaceBook, click here.  I know…shameless plug.
