“It was a pleasant cafe, warm and clean and friendly, and I hung up my old water-proof on the coat rack to dry and put my worn and weathered felt hat on the rack above the bench and ordered a cafe au lait. The waiter brought it and I took out a notebook from the pocket of the coat and a pencil and started to write"

The Fearsome Lights!

Before you can fully understand my latest art project, you first must understand something.

Through various fan forums, I've been rediscovering a lot of 90's cartoons and becoming a fan of a lot of them. One of my favorites is...


DWD had several quirky and memorable villains, and at one point, it teamed up five of the fan favorite recurring villains into a team known as the "Fearsome Five" (an obscure DC comics reference).


And I love every one of these guys. Especially Megavolt, the spacey and insane technopath. There was a long story in which I put together a $200 cosplay of him once...anyway, because of this, when I found several glass sculptures at Crafts Direct shaped like lightbulbs (which Megsy collects in canon), I had the idea to get five and paint them to reflect the Fearsome Five. A friend encouraged me to do the project, and it's probably one of the most ambitious and unique pieces of fanart I've ever done.

I present to you the Fearsome Lights.

I'll first post a pic of who it's supposed to represent followed by what I painted.

My next acrylic project will be original content, but a little more complex. I have some old cigar boxes a friend gave me to revamp, and I want to play with rhinestones some more. So you can eventually look forward to seeing more from my acrylics work!

Oooo-kaaaay, because I know some of you want to see it...
