Aquamantastic!

Down into the endless blue wine
I'll open my head and let out
all of my time.

Tom Waits, "The Ocean Doesn't Want Me."

A woman valorous, true, and willing to smash you.

Here's another superheroic redesign, this time of Big Barda. See what the fashion-forward eyes over at Project: Rooftop saw in it over here.

Oh brother don't turn, go on, go on.

Oh, I bet you long for the life that you lived.
me and myself, I got nothing to lose but this war...
...and when the war came,
I signed up for you.

Madrugada, "The Riverbed."

A drawing of Dick Grayson, sometimes known as Nightwing, featuring his propensity for gravitas, grace, bullet scars and ballet flats. This is something like the opening lines of my visual treatise on l'esprit du Dick.

True to herself.

Here's a Wonder Woman redesign for Project Rooftop's Wonder Woman Wardrobe War! It's a mixed media work and there's everything from acrylic, wood, pen, ink, and encaustic to Photoshop work thrown in there.

Batgirl loves patrolling suburban backyards!

Yfmoc era snikpmup skniht annataz.

More art than I know what to do with.

For Justice!

Another new picture over at my LJ. I have really got to get coding, my poor website is probably starting to feel kind of neglected!

Welcome back, television.

The Smallville season premiere was a rollicking roller coaster. My favorite part? Bizarro Clark's Bizarro face.

Like most other people who have bothered to think on such things, I always just assumed that Bizarro's skin was made of oogie-boogie yuck-gunk. But I liked the phasing metallic effect employed by these, the translators, interpreters, and technology-tellers of our modern mythology. It really said, "We have thought about how the polar opposite of Clark Kent, the symbol of some collective America's deepest hopes and fears for itself, would manifest physically and psychologically in the latter half of this century's dawning decade, and we have concluded that The Terminator was cool."
It's been years since I tried drawing anything directly into Photoshop, and sure enough, this was a pain. Yet weirdly fun!

Graffiti is a crime.

Facebook's graffiti wall is quite diverting. It reminds me of my mid-teenage years, when I used to prowl the Internet looking for sleazy oekaki joints to bust up with my mad art skillz and faux anime interpretations of movie stars. These days I am more into adorning the obvious;

and knitting;
The second drawing was inspired by this talented lady's Wonder Woman Jumper. Thank you, the Internet, for bringing such important things to my attention. Now, to build on a theme by indulging in The Non-Adventures of Wonderella!

Hello friends.

My name is Ming. I have a website and a MySpace, both of which make this blog doubly redundant, and yet. Here are some superheroes and science-villains from my LJ in lieu of more informative written content. The proliferation of online presences probably speak for themselves!
