Professor Maskell's Eccentric Circus!

First things first HERE is the song that inspired this poster. The image really isn't complete without background music.

Excellent point, random viewer! It does seem a bit plain, doesn't it? It needs color, LOTS of color! Dark purple, acid green, blood red, fiery orange, etc! Unfortunately this semester has not quite ended yet, and since I have been working on this poster for most of the time that I should have been studying for finals, I'm probably going to take a break at this point, and start coloring it in later. But rest assured, I will be posting the finished product on this blog as soon as it's ready!

Until then, just listen to the music, and imagine how fantastic it would be if I had my own circus!

Venom Care Bear

("Venom Bear" 2014, Photoshop)

Are Care Bears still relevant at all, or is this a bit dated? I suppose it doesn't really matter. Even if the young people have never heard of care bears, they'll still get a kick out of seeing a big cuddly Venom.

For those of you who don't know what a care bear is. This is them.

Did you listen to it? Wasn't that just the most sickeningly innocent thing you've ever heard? (shudders) Now you know why I had to draw this. Care Bears have had it too cute for too long.

For those of you who don't know, this is what is known as a "mashup" a combination of different genres, themes, styles, or characters that would not ordinarily be put together. It is impossible to spend much time on the internet without seeing examples of these. Salvador Dali illustrating Alice in Wonderland, Disney characters drawn as Star Wars characters (or visa versa), Hello Kitty as a zombie, Marvel heros battling DC villains, the list goes on and on.
