As you all know, I love recreating pieces of artwork that I adore. So, as a break in an otherwise painful classical portraiture project, I decided to pay homage to Gabriele Dell’Otto with this painting of his Phoenix piece.
I’ve spent around 10 hours overall on it so far, and, whilst at some points I’ve wanted to put my foot through the bastard’s face as I don’t do large scale painting and I don’t even do painting in general, it’s been a real hoot!

Comic Book Boycott of the Day: Conservative group One Million Moms is at it again, directing its not-quite-a-million members to boycott Marvel and DC Comics due to recent announcements from both companies about their futures of their gay characters.
DC has revealed that a major character is soon going to come out as gay, while Marvel announced the engagement of superhero Northstar to his boyfriend, Kyle.
These events don’t sit will with One Million Moms, whose anti-gay agenda has also led them to protest the wedding of Archie Comics’ first gay character, Kevin Keller.
“Children desire to be just like superheroes,” said the group in a statement. “Children mimic superhero actions and even dress up in costumes to resemble these characters as much as possible. Can you imagine little boys saying, ‘I want a boyfriend or husband like X-Men?’”
The statement goes on to accuse the publishers of trying to “indoctrate [sic] impressionable young minds.”
Marvel and DC have yet to respond to the homophobic comments.
