I DRAW YOUR SHIT #4: GORILLA JOE!
ROUND FOUR! Let's get ready to rummmmble!!!
Time to break out your artsty-fartsy instruments, it's time for another I DRAW YOUR SHIT!, the series of posts where we take turns drawing tributes/homages/sexual re-imaginings of a character from another EAZB crew member's work! In previous rounds we've done:
- Ting & Terng: conjoined twin bullies from Hellen Jo's Jin & Jam #1
- Max Guy: well-meaning goofus superhero from Lamar Abrams' Remake
- Washington Smalls: fanny-packing murderer from Michael DeForge's Cave Adventure
Per tradition, the creator from the the round before picks the next target, and Michael picked GORILLA JOE from Mickey Zacchilli's BULLSHIT FRANK & GORILLA JOE comics!
Gorilla Joe is a mancreature who balances existential terror, simian punk rock ethos and a strange friendship with a guru bird creature (I LOVE HIM MOST OF ALL). Check out some excellent excerpts the four issues (so far!) of gag comedy gold on Mickey's site here, then go buy an issue or two (or four!)
Here are some visual references for your homages to Gorilla Joe (click for big versions)
If you still don't get what to do: the original idea was posted in this post. This is open to anyone who wants to participate, and the deadline to post your cover of GORILLA JOE is next Tuesday, 2/16/2010. Post a link to your drawing in the comments & we'll add it to the post!
