It’s been awhile since I did an Illustration Friday, but this image popped into my head this morning and I HAD to do it.
This could be seen as an allegory of the continual “whitewashing” of Hollywood and popular culture…or an indication that I haven’t drawn a zombie in a good long time, and I was due.
For illustrationfriday.com. Veronica Lake meets Lupe Velez meets Viktor Frankenstein.
It’s Awards Season, which means in my household, it’s Screener Season (thank you, Dad, for your chosen career).
The bitch? There are only two movies I really, really, REALLY wanted to see: Milk and The Wrestler And of course, we received NEITHER of them. GAH.
I will admit that both are guilty pleasures for me:
The Wrestler– I am SUCH a sucker for a working-class-underdog-makes-good story.
Milk– I am SUCH a sucker for Diego Luna getting nekkid and having sex with Sean Penn.

Anyway, neither of them are here, which saddens me because I really really want to see Diego Luna have gay sex with Sean Penn have heard they’re both incredibly good. It’s been slim pickings this year (apart from Robert Downey Jr. and Kate Winslet’s various roles– the two most brilliant actors of their generation. It was great to hear Jack & Rose screaming at each other about their respective affairs.They got off the boat and life went downhill from there.It was so cathartic!). Aside from the coverage that People would be contractually obliged to give them, there is NO reason “Brangelina” should both be nominated. Gah!
Now, the “disturbing” thing I mentioned? Be warned! This is a photograph of pre-The Wrestler, pre-Sin City, pre-Once Upon a Time in Mexico Mickey Rourke. BRACE YOURSELVES. This will not be easy… … continue reading this entry.
