Art from our cruise...

These are the 4 oil paintings we got while we were on our cruise...

I told Letha to buy whatever she wanted to. She first purchased the framed pic of Venice...she said she loved the way the colors danced on the canvas. Then came the black and white pictures of France. Letha spent 9 months teaching English as a 2nd language in France. The really cool thing about these paintings is the 3D effect the oil has. It had been painted with a knife to give hard rigid edges and deep cuts in the thick paint. They are some good looking pieces...plus we got one of them free from a raffle that was thrown.

Love his art...

The MAIN reason I ever got into comic books was because my brother Mike was into them.

I would have to give my props to Mr. Jim Lee for me sticking to comic books for soooo long. My first issue ever purchased for the purpose of collecting was Uncanny X-Men issue 275 (amazing folding cover). Since then I have been hooked on almost ANYTHING that Lee as drawn.

Anyways I happened to come across his MySpace page today and got to look at a bunch of art he's done, feel free to check it out yourself:

I found one pic that he did for a certain actor that I think is awesome...

The writing is smaller than I would like...but it says, "For Heath - Happy Birthday - Go Nuts!"
