It is a print called MK Kalamari, but even a print of his is quite expensive ($150) but I'm broke right now and everything seems expensive. Personally, I still think it was worth every penny, and he signed it for me to give it a little personality. I don't think he put the actual painting up for sale, but if he did it would cost thousands. The artist is Jose Emroca Flores, otherwise known as Emroca.
Here is a JPEG of his work:

I've mentioned him before, but seeing this piece framed and up on my wall is incredible.

Chicago Bulls and Vancouver Grizzlies where my two teams when I was into basketball as a child. I love the colors of that hat. I wouldn't mind getting another Wolverine hat with those colours, minus the Bulls logo on a ball cap. Those hats 95% of the time push down my ears lol.

Thanks, I think it was a good choice too. This artist has a feel for creating works of art that have a great deal of depth. The size of the print is obviously very appealing, but it pales in comparison to the amount of detail crammed into one piece.

Just got this from the local toy store... I'm not sure if anyone knows of this toy line from the Maxfactory Guyver Bio Fighter Collection. It's quite obscure I guess ..Was quite surprised to be able to still find it in a toy store... I wrote about many of the Guyver figures a few years back... I really like how well the joints and points of articulation are hidden... Its a pity that the line did not get as much attention as it deserved..

A print is still awesome, and the subject matter you chose is sick! Plus the fact it's auto'd doesn't hurt either. I will assume it's probably numbered or limited edition. and the original painting would be dope, but common 1000's most of us couldn't spend that kinda flow, plus you'd want to get it insured and I'd be scared someone damaging it. nice piece man.

The Guyver was a very cool flick and I remember some of the figures. Thanks for the memories and great score man!

FancyPants · 12-04-2011, 11:14 PM

My wife made me this tonight. This is so bad ass. It's a batman fat head sticker, she put it on a black poster board and put it in a frame. It looks so good on my wall. She's the best

Peteparker · 12-04-2011, 11:28 PM

Wow that looks awesome!

Lucky!

Dude thats a great picture i love artists who put their own spin on popular characters!! Have you seen any of Greg "Craola" Simkins work?? Its insanely detailed populated with wonderful lil critters,and he does a great job of reworking popular culture icons.

This is one of my favourite pieces of his:

You should check him out when you get chance,you wont be disappointed!!

^ AAAAAHHHHH!!!!

Got these guys in the mail today from Amazon. When I had pre-ordered Halo: CE Anniversary a few weeks back, they gave me a $10 credit for anything on the site. So I found this CP for $18.00 shipped, used my 10 bucks credit and got it for $8!

^ Flashpoint and All-Star Superman TPB's that finally arrived (ordered them on black friday) from Hastings. They were both "used" copies, so I got them for $19 altogether.

^Thanks to BlackMagnus for hooking me up with the final pieces for the "Anti-Monitor", he is one big menacing bastard in person!

Going to try and take some pics of him wrecking some GL's soon....
