The Cornetto Trilogy: Three Flavours… of HERO!


In my second riff on the trilogy, "Three Flavours… of HERO!" I decided to tackle Simon Pegg's hapless heroic leads. I really need to practice drawing more, freehand and digitally. My likeness-ing needs improvement. It's always been a weakness and challenge.

And went with the (closing?) line from HOT FUZZ (and a lift from POINT BREAK)…
Angel: Sergeant Butterman, the little hand says it's time to rock and roll!
A fine and fitting declaration of intent for THE WORLD'S END, I rather think.

It's my sincere and not-at-all-secret hope that this creative team supreme works on turning "The Cornetto Trilogy" into "The Increasingly Misnamed Cornetto Trilogy." =)

Keep on keepin on~

P.S. The Cornetto Trilogy triple feature plays at the Brattle Theatre on Sunday, July 28! =)

The Cornetto Trilogy: Three Flavours… of DOOM!


A riff on Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg, and Nick Frost's "Three Flavours" of "The Cornetto Trilogy"—also known as "The Blood and Ice Cream Trilogy"—the films SHAUN OF THE DEAD, HOT FUZZ, and THE WORLD'S END. In this fan artishness, I decided to feature the "baddies."

Hafta admit, I had trouble deciding on what and how much copy to use which resulted in me kinda throwing in more than I probably should have. Cuz I think I'm sooo frickin clever. : P

"ENJOY THE RIDE, LOVE THE ENDING" is Cornetto's actual marketing copy. Pretty well describes how to consume the films (haven't seen END yet, but I'll go out on a limb and consider it just as slice-of-fried-gold as SHAUN and FUZZ =), but also kind of bittersweet, in light of the trilogy being "completed" with END.

So, when do you think they'll get off their duffs and start on the Jaffa Cakes prequels? =)

Keep on keepin on~
