Happy-almost-weekend!

 

Who is your favourite Batman actor?

Adam West of course. Though I remember as a child when we got our first colour telly. As a tiny tot, I used to watch the black-and-white Batman episodes on a Saturday morning (the ones which almost always ended with him tied to a tablesaw or about to go under the wheels of a locamotive some equally horrific cliff-hanger). We got our colour telly at around about the same time that Saturday morning Batman went from the B&W to 60s Adam West version; to this day I never accepted Burt Ward as Robin – in my head, he still has curly hair and a wavy quiff!

Who is your favourite Joker actor?

Heath Ledger was brilliantly unhinged.

Which Batmobile is your favourite?

I quite liked the 1989 version but in all honesty, it’s got to be the 60s Lincoln one.

 

In other news, I learned to embrace, rather than continually fight against, my comic-style of painting. I showed these to my wife (who is a bit older than me). She said “they’re cute”. I showed my little sister (who is much younger than me). She said “nice work”. I showed my friends and ex-classmates and finally got the reaction I was hoping for “OMFG! Day of The Tentacle! That game was frigging awesome!”

Pledge? Well, I finished my gang of cyber n’er-do-wells. I painted these in a single evening, using a number-2 sized brush exclusively (my wife “attends” online art classes where the challenge is to complete a piece of work inside three hours – I tried to do something similar but had to be happy with “finished in a day instead of taking three months over it”). I still haven’t quite mastered contrast paints, so it’ll have to be something using those. Or maybe this weeks’ pledge is to make/paint some terrain for my little tiny guys to fight over?

I think this week’s pledge is to make some terrain. Then maybe I’ll finally manage to get a couple of herberts to join me online to play a game!

Music…. this is timeless.
