EXTRA EXTRA: Prepare to face thy Doom
On Thursday, January 21 in Toronto a new cover I designed for Eye Weekly will hit the stands. On it is a portrait of rapper MF Doom, an off-beat artist who wears a menacing mask while he performs, and who (for those of you not geeky enough to know), borrows his name from a famous comic book villain, one Dr. Doom of the “Fantastic Four” titles (MF DOOM is still apparently earning his PHD).
Super Heroes, particularly those who are sucked into the mundane realities of our own universe, are something of a recurring trope of mine (in the past I’ve been known to handle such heady subjects as Cat Woman clutching grocery bags and petting an alley cat and Superman flipping through an iPod) so I knew that whatever image we decided upon, I wanted the hero, a villain in this case, to be placed firmly within the reality of our own world and not the world of comics.
Somewhat revealed to us is that the legendary rapper is in fact something of a stocky, middle-aged bald man, yet not all is given away: Doom’s hands still protect his identity, though this gesture might in itself reveal a story of playfulness, self-loathing, and a nagging hangover. — Read the Article.
DEPT OF ROMANCE: From meeting to marriage in just four dates!
Here’s an interesting piece on dating that I worked on while going through a recent break up of my own. Good thing I had my old friend irony to keep me company, otherwise that could have been extremely depressing. Thanks Toronto Life! I plan to use the money from this job to buy love. Precious, irreplaceable love. — JD
