Half the problem is that apart from my own work which I need to get on here I said I would do more of these character design spotlights and I have so many that I would like to do I keep putting it off because I can't make a decision...
Anyway, today I saw one online - ready made - so I thought I would link to it and move on. It's particularly relevant with Disney acquiring Marvel this week. If you do a quick google of Disney/Marvel mash-ups you'll find any number of creative collisions of these two worlds which have now taken a step closer to each other. I'm curious as to what would happen to the Marvel universe in the hands of, say, the Pixar team..? but also wondering what will happen to the Marvel Superhero Island at Islands of Adventure at Universal in Florida. Difficult to rebrand I would think but will the Magic Kingdom be able to resist building it's own Marvel Themed park and business from Universal..?
Anyway, I was on Muttpop this morning as the have a new Lucha Libre vinyl character out in a 'Hulk' styled colourway. I'm still working on how I am going to purchase one for myself, it's a gem.
But I also noticed that they have a mini Spiderman retrospective and examples of the many artists who have added there own spin to the character design.
I won't bore you on this occasion with tales of my Spidey fandom... suffice to say that he's been a favourite for as long as I can remember thru the cartoon show, the (dodgy) TV show and now the new movies which surely stand apart amongst a very few 'decent' comic book movie translations. But there is NO disputing the 'classic' status of the Spiderman design so take a look for yourself via the link below and stay tuned for more 'me' styled info :)
Cheers all,
J
