The Adorable Death of Optimus Prime by Tony Fleecs

by Supreme Convoy » Tue Oct 25, 2011 1:09 am

My pal and comic book artist Tony Fleecs has a line of prints featuring comic tragedies but drawn in a cute way. They're designed in the vein of the Love Is... strips.

He's done one based on Batman: A Death in the Family

And one based on Wolverine: Old Man Logan

I requested a commission by him based on Transformers: The Movie. My commission came out perfect! The original art is mine and I can't wait to own the final print as well.

Motto: "You don't know because you can't see me. Then you are dead."

Weapon: Sniper Rifle

Interesting. I say that because there is an awful lot going on in these. They have that tragic feel that seems really at odds with the cutesy manner in which it's presented. Then piling the life-lesson-type phrase at the bottom seems like too much.

They make me feel...conflicted.

Check out my collection!

Yep, that's why I love these prints. The juxtaposition is great and hilarious.

Yeah, I don't know if they're supposed to be funny, but they are.

Side note: every time I see Cyclops, I feel the urge to say "Shut up, Scott." *shrug*

I want to laugh at them because of the drawing, but the subject matter is so so sad. I just end up feeling confused.

Wild stuff.

Picked up the original today at Long Beach Comic Con and it's fantastic.

I love it!

Cute picture. Nice quote, though I don't really think it fits with Prime, especially considering his habit of resurrecting himself at some point.

That's why he's difficult to leave and to forget...he keeps showing up LoL

Nice score on the original art tho!
