Lloyd and the Bear

After my last LatB post regarding only doing five prints I found out that MCM London will be having a visit from the Green Arrow himself, Stephen Amell! And hey, there was me with an Arrow/Flash parody using the Brave and the Bold series as a starting point which I hadn’t used in a while soooo…..

…..I’ve gone back and given it an update!

So apart from the change of background I also re-positioned Beary Allen (I still love that pun!) and tightened the whole picture up a bit. There were a few other touches as well like moving the arrow tip and changing the colour of the lightening bolt behind Beary but nothing too crazy.

And why did I go to all this effort? Well, I have this wee dream that someone out there will pick up the print and then head off and get it signed by the celebrity themselves. That would be pretty sweet, right?

Ah, not long to go until MCM! I can’t wait!

More soon! Bear hugs!

…for now.

So I said a while back that I’d have six new parody prints coming out for MCM London but it looks like I’m only going to be going with five (which is enough but y’know…..)

What did I struggle with? Doing a new Transformers parody!

Longtime followers of my parodies might remember I actually did two prints before titled Transformbears;

I always intended to come back to these and either give them an update or introduce a Dinobears print to the mix but sadly Transformers 4 and 5 came to the cinema (hey, I kinda like 1-3) and put me off the idea.

But, time has passed and with the Bumblebee film being fun and there also been loads of other great Transformers media out there my love was the franchise was rekindled and  so I decided it was time to give this another go but this time with a new pun (or two).

You see, I had two ideas;

Yup, either a G1 logo (again) or go with the latest incarnation and I gave myself until the end of this weekend to get it done.

And I didn’t.

My biggest stumbling block was who to have on the print. I had it down to Prime and Megatron fighting but it just doesn’t work with Bear’s big head (physical head, not a diva thing I assure you).

Then doing solo pictures didn’t quite pan out either for much the same reason! So yeah, I’m stuck on this one for the moment but I don’t intend to give up! It’s just not going to be ready for the end of May is all….

Better to have tried and failed than never tried at all, right?

Oh well, I’ve got another project on the go just now that I’ll hopefully have done and can tell you about next week! 

More soon! Bear hugs!
