Frank Miller Adaptations are the Best in Comic Book Industry

I'm working at the library, doing my comic orders, and started to think of all the comics and graphic novels that have had movies based on them. I thought about the one of my favorite writers, the legendary Alan Moore, and how he has famously hated the movies based on his books -- which include "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen", "V for Vendetta", and "Watchmen" -- with some good reason. He first broke through in American comics with his run on SWAMP THING in the 80s, but I'm unsure if the movie is based on his work or his feelings towards the film.

Regardless, it got me thinking about another one of my favorites, and another legend, Frank Miller. It turns out Miller has been lucky enough to have some of his work converted into pretty good movies:





He's even had some good animated adaptations:





But of course, Frank Miller has been responsible for, or has had a hand in some real stinkers. Whether directing, writing or the inspiration, these movies related to Frank have realllllly sucked.



Here's hoping that the next Sin City and 300 movies are successful!

"Honesty doesn't pay, sucker."

Some good news: The Paris Library, which is now my second job, was impressed with my installation at the ArtWalk. They asked me to display my designs as Artist of the Month. Sweet!

With that being said, here is my newest flyer, which is probably too edgy for the library lol. The image is of Lil Ze' from the movie City of God. My intention was to make it appear like an old blaxploitation movie poster from the 70s. I am really diggin' this one!

Halloweeeen

Here's another quick one I did for a Halloween Costume Party. Pretty basic stuff, but it gets the point across.

First Ever Art Show + JERRY SPRINGER

I was asked to do the ArtWalk in Paris, Ky and it was my first time doing something like this with my graphics. I was set up at The Cue, which makes sense, because the majority of my exhibit were flyers I had done for the bar. I also included the skateboards and T-shirts I've designed for DeckAwooD, and a couple of my own designs for Realist Threads. It was a lot of fun. I made several new contacts and got more compliments than I deserve.

One of the highlights though, was meeting none other than Jerry F'n Springer. That guy was super nice and I loved his shoes! We're pictured with Nicole, the owner of The Cue.

Ladies Night/DJ Green

This is one of my favorites. I used a cover image from the comic book "Gotham City Sirens." If you look closely, you can see it's Poison Ivy, Catwoman's whip and the leg of Harley Quinn. Granted, I changed the colors so it may be hard to tell, but hey, I love using Batman villains as much as possible :)

Great visuals drawn by Guillem March, who draws some of the best-looking ladies in comics.

Big Daddy

Here's a quick flyer I did that was somewhat inspired by those old metal gas cans that say GASOLINE!
