Vin Diesel & Usher Riding Down a Volcano on White Tigers

Written by Vince Mancini / 12.15.10

Vin-Diesel-Usher-White-Tigers

Yesterday, Vin Diesel premiered the new 5 Fast 5 Furious trailer on his Facebook page, an act which, among other things, shined a harsh light on Vin Diesel’s Facebook page (19 million likes!).  It’s a page that included this picture, a painting featuring Vin Diesel and Usher riding white tigers down a volcano.  Is that the title, “Vin Diesel and Usher Riding White Tigers Down a Volcano”?  Because if so, SOLD.  Seriously, name your price. I would chug a pint of Magic Johnson’s blood if it was labeled “Vin Diesel and Usher Riding White Tigers Down a Volcano.” |Many kudos to TedQuarters for this important discovery|

Yeah, ‘The Breakfast Fight Club’ is pretty cool

Written by Vince Mancini / 06.29.10

TheBreakfastFightClub

This one is called simply “The Breakfast Fight Club,” by artist David MacDowell (via theHighDefinite).  I guess it’s pretty cool.  I like the Fight Club characters in there.  But is that enough to justify there not being Judd Nelson or Emilio Estevez?  I don’t know, man. I just don’t know.

Also, how does it stack up against the work of Brandon Bird?  I’ve previously posted Bird’s works “Uncanny Valley,” and “No One Wants to Play Sega with Harrison Ford,” both of which I’d give a slight edge to over this one. (Bird’s “Mr. Noodle,” starring David Schwimmer is below.  You can see some of his other stuff here.)  MacDowell’s piece also hits a little too close to home for me. You see I often wander around my neighborhood shouting, “NO, F*CK YOU, MOLLY RINGWALD!” at no one in particular. Nonetheless, I’d be proud to hang any of these paintings in my parlor next to the ginger scalps. (They bring me luck).

SEAN CONNERY HAS AN AWESOME PAINTING

Written by Vince Mancini / 03.03.09

The Daily Mail today has a story about how Sean Connery’s former friend’s estate is suing him for allegedly screwing the friend over on a loan deal.  The story’s pretty boring, but buried further down in it is the above picture of Sean and his wife, artist Micheline, and this lovely painting.  My question: does Sean Connery actually own a painting of himself creepily lurking behind a shirtless dude?  I shay, your shkin ish looking rather shmooth today. Do you like my ashcot?
