The Thing!
10x12inches,acrylic on cnavas
Marvel Universe Series
Ah, Ben Grimm, the glue that holds the Marvel Universe together, kill whoever you like writers but you know you just can't touch the Thing or it will all come crashing down on top of you. No single character in the M.U (maybe Spiderman) embodies the good faith and grace under pressure that it takes to be a super hero.
I took the cues for this piece from the Fantastic Four Issue #310, "Things To Come" when Ben was yet again bombarded by rays, this time in the form of the Digital Saudi Satellite Man himself Farsaud! (seriously look it up) and was further mutated. The shape of the head was the best part of the design anyways that's where it started but also got me thinking about all those fights we've seen where Ben gets chunks of rock knocked off of him, well, what if he didn't ? Would he continue to grow rocky protuberances?
Also, here's one for the writers, what are those rocks made of ? And what happens to them after they get knocked off of Ben?
Have a great weekend with your Aunt Petunia,
