My Life as a Superhero
So my life as a superhero, actually the name is SpanDOman for the spandex that I have to wear to get this gig. Now, just for a moment, think about this with me, will you? Superpowers! That is like the coolest of cool to have and do, superstrength for all of those times that some mook decides to crush your hand in a handshake. Hah! Try to crush, smash or bash that hand again evildoer, hah.. or the ability of flight. Wow, now that is cool too, someone sneaking up behind you to trip you up, no more "Have a nice trip, seeya next fall!!" Oh yeah that was a funny one. Invunerability, flight, strength, pretty basic powers. That is because I am a pretty basic guy. I took a quiz about superpowers and I think the most interesting of the bunch was the Time power, the ability to travel back and forth in time. That was kinda nifty. Personally, I think ANY superpower would be cool. Although, I was thinking, if we all had a superpower, what would make us special or individual anymore. Is it wrong to think of oneself as something or someone special in a world that forces you into a mold. A mold of conformity? 1984 with its newspeak, advertising is constantly looking for that next newspeak word or language, "Where's th' Beef?" What I'm saying is, is that no matter what the world hands out to you, don't accept it at face value. As an artist, I strive to think beyond the box, every illustration or comic that I do has a meaning, whether it is the meaning of life to me or you depends on your perspective. My perspective is pretty shot by life and all I see is more and more garbage being passed off as something everybody wants.
