Shazam
The only adversary capable of going toe-to-toe with Shazam (aka Captain Marvel) is Superman. He is matched in strength, speed, and ability. Alex Ross deals with the dueling heroes in his two awesome graphic novel series, Kingdom Come and Injustice. Of course we have our fan favourites. And a duel of this magnitude can go on for a long, long time.

Muscle Head
Back from HOLIDAYS and the work has PILED UP. Sun, sand, and seashores has come to a grinding hault-although my head is still trying to catch up to my current location-HOME.
On my travels I brought a moleskine sketchbook with me with the idea of being as portable as possible. That and my portable paint set, I set off to capture as much as I could. I soon realized that porability was too confining and looked forward to my regular tools.
Instead I took loads of pictures (which I will post on my pinterest site) and rediscovered the Canadian Maritime's seashore. I fell in love with a moment that I wish I could live out for as long as possible while staring out into the vastness of the Atlantic Ocean. I pondered life through a Hemingway novel as the Old Man and The Sea. The potential to live our lives as simply as we want it to be without the trivialities and diatribes of everyday life that consumes most of our time. Suddenly my lovely thoughts are replaced by the voice of Mr. Waturi, from Joe Versus the Volcano, saying, "NOBODY FEELS GOOD. AFTER CHILDHOOD IT'S A FACT. I FEEL ROTTEN. SO WHAT! I DON'T LET IT AFFECT MY DAY.
So apart from philosophical repartee, today's daily sketch is MUSCLE HEAD.

Superhero Month: CAPTAIN AMERICA
Wouldn't it be interesting to do a mini series related to Heros and Parenting. Hmmm? What a novel idea. Hello Marvel can you hear me?
While parents among us are everyday heros juggling several responsibilities and taking on several roles, not much has been done with our superhero counter parts. Imagine Captain America coming home after a hard day's work with the Avengers only to take on the demanding role of parenthood: preparing breakfasts, lunches, and dinners, monitoring homework, facilitating sibling rivalry, sleep deprivation, picking up barfy messes, poop disasters, laundry and household maintenance, and doing it all with great enthusiasm and smiles day after day after day. My hats off to you Captain, and to all the countless parents who pull this stuff off with ease.
