Comic Wallpaper Update 2

October 17th, 2007 | Category: Comic Books, Jack Kirby, Life

I ran out of glue stick, so I had to stop… but here’s a look at the second wall section in the office. I decided on Jack Kirby’s “Mister Miracle” because it’s the wall where my Harry Houdini poster hangs. Both were masters of escapism!

Also, I had the idea for bigger splash images to somehow be casually leaping out of the wall for a 3D like effect. My wife suggested making an accordion shaped attachment so if you pushed it in, it would bounce around. So here we have “Bouncing Big Barda”

All in all, this is working out great. It’s giving the room a sort of antique look now too.

I’m all out of gluestick…. and I’ve got TONS of work to draw, but this is going to be really cool environment to work in. It’s intimidating / challenging knowing this greatness is staring me down.

    Holy crap, that looks sharp! If I wasn’t so lazy round the house, I’d have to copy…

    Scott– I’d say total for that wall and the other, about 2-3 hours or so.
