On hiatus


I found this Bronze Tiger character sketch card by legendary Marvel artist Sal Buscema. I had no idea he had ever done anything for DC. Of course my favorite work by Buscema was his pencils in Rom spaceknight but finding some art work he had done for one of my favorite DC characters is pretty awesome as well.

I'm adding an update here about something that's been bugging me ever since I first posted this and it just hit me. Some of the art work in this Buscema sketch card looks a lot like a couple of the panels from BT's show down with Female Fury Stompa in Suicide Squad #3. Kinda makes me wonder which came first. This is almost a "Who Made Who" kinda question I'm sure we'll never get a definitive answer on.
And with that I bid you all farewell for a while. I started a new job as a crew member a couple of weeks ago for an oil recovery vessel. It's a temporary gig (till mid Dec.) but if all goes well it will lead to more long term assignments. So far it's going well and I'm learning a lot but the hours are taking some getting used to. I'm working 10 hour days and some weekends. Just last week I worked 58 hours. I'm just too burnt out for blogging right now and things have been pretty quiet here lately anyways so this is probably a good stopping point.
Like me many of you are less then thrilled with the Suicide Squad relaunch but the reviews are still fun to read especially some of the scathing ones. Check out this one for issue #13 it's hilarious: http://tessatechaitea.blogspot.com/2012/10/suicide-squad-13.html?showComment=1350459907017#c3206054003636953527

  2. Wow! Like you I didn't know dependable Sal did much DC art, let alone DC trading card art. Very cool find bro.

    And hey, congrats on your new job:) Hey, at least it's work, so there's that.

    Finally finished up watching those YJ vids you sent me. Damn shame that CN didn't air this episode, as it was really, really good! The line between Aqualad being undercover has just gotten blurrier and blurrier, to the point that I'm almost convinced he really has switched sides. I guess we'll have to wait until Jan to see how this all pans out.

    Again, congrats man, and like Motel 6, your friends in the 5 will leave the light on for ya':)

    1. Yea sir, the light is on and congrats on the new job. Enjoy yourself. Sal did a good job (preciate ya Mr.Buscema).

      Benjamin Turner is a great character, I think he's become my favorite. My nephew and the rest of the crew are Bronze Tiger fans cause I introduced em to him and it's little to no BT material out there. You just don't know how irritating that is. So everytime I see something new that I havn't seen it's good.
