Liarfeld
So here’s the full on picture of Chris as done by Liefeld for some unknown Alan Moore book.
The impossible muscles, the distracting lens flare, the hideous signature at the bottom: yes, this truly is some sort of art, the kind I’m not sure has been defined yet. Can we call it anti-art? It’s like wrapping all the way back around the circle from pretentious and you come back perilously close to where you started. What the hell am I talking about, I sort of lost where I was going.
Lots and lots of thanks to Justin Stewart at http://justin3000.blogspot.com/ for risking his corneal capacity to color that abomination!
And finally, I leave you with a few words from Chris. I think he was feeling left out because I get to call him an idiot every day while he can only look up and shake his fist from the comments box.
The new comic is based on an actual conversation between Curt and I that really stuck with me. I then told Curt we should make it into a comic. Such is the nature of the collaboration. The portions featuring crying, pleading, and more crying have, of course, been omitted so as to keep things as light as a summer’s breeze around these parts.
Rob Liefeld was not the original funeral portrait artist, and even though making fun of Rob is like shooting apples in a barrel (full of apples), it was classier than Curt’s original joke.
The original joke was probably funnier, but we are nothing if not classy.The part of today’s comic that features me requesting something of Curt is 100% true as it really is something I made Curt promise me.
Seeing how he’s going to handle things though, perhaps I should try to institute some further stipulations.

It’s like staring into the face of Zeus, only with more crotchital cross-hatching.

Wow!
Two people that are NOT Sean want a lithograph of this portrait.
That’s amazing.
Lucky for you we’re actually looking into making this a reality today.

There is a limited to one edition of this lithograph. The price of it is a firstborn child.

Oh, Curt, by the way, can we make the deal so the firstborn kid we trade the litho for has to be cute. I don’t want no ugly babies around.

Joe – I’ll never forget the day in my young life when a friend of mine and I were reading an issue of X-Force and talking about how much better Liefeld was than some crappy artist that had done a pin-up for the issue named Mike Mignola.

That is no where near shitty enough to be a Leifeld.
