It was around this time 2 years ago when i was reading a friend’s tweets about collecting Minions. Being in the industry, I am fascinated about how successful these little yellow toys were (considering the characters were not the star of their movies). Demand for the toys was weirdly high, and the supply was dwindling. My friend was halfway already but I can see some of the toys starting to run out. Having collected toys since 2005, I knew this was a bad sign.My friend and I have gone out a few times before this, and I knew she was going through a rough time. I did’t want one of the few things that made her happy to disappoint her again. I knew she needed help so I offered to buy her one minion in her list. She was so grateful she named the minion Kevin.A few days passed and she had 2 left. At that point, I knew that if she continued her pace, she would have a really hard time looking for them. So at 10pm, I grabbed my keys and went to the nearest McDonald’s since I knew that one of the missing minions was available there. When I got there, everything was sold out.In the car, I hunted online for clues on where to find the missing minions. 30 minutes of searching led me to an Instagram post comment saying that new stocks might be available in a store opening in Banawe. I realized it was too far so I decided to go home. However, I found myself turning to the other direction. I had 8 years of experience in toy hunting and I always got what I wanted; I couldn’t fail her, I thought.When I finally reached the store, it was not officially open yet. It was already midnight and I didn’t know where else to look. It was hopeless but I thought that since I was already that far, I could check out the stores in the area. I scouted 3 more McDonalds branches but they were all sold out. At 2 am, I was slowly driving home asking myself why I was doing this. Why was I doing this for her?The next day, I decided to spend my holiday to go toy hunting with her. Hunter mode was on: I planned an efficient sweep from her house to the mall where we were supposed to watch a movie. On our second store, I could feel her disappointment, and it felt much worse for me to see her like that. i was more determined than ever to find those damn minions (and prayed harder for a miracle).With our limited time together, I pinpointed which stores won’t be easily accessible to people and went there. Finally, we got one of the minions and she was so genuinely happy, like a little kid opening a gift on Christmas morning. She gave me a hug and it was the hug that changed everything.We ended the day obviously having completed the whole collection (in the last store as fate has decided). A month later, she revealed how things changed with her too after that day.Yes, this isn’t really about those minions (which you could easily buy anywhere now), but those minions were an important part of our story. It was funny, and even childish, but it was an experience that at least made us both realize things about us. It was a story of friendship, determination, hope and teamwork formed out of a simple treasure hunt game.Two years later, I watched her once again open 10 gifts like a little kid on Christmas morning. And I got the same special hug, the hug I’ve always been getting since then.

littlechinesedoll:Robin is the Eevee of Gotham [ source ]
Does that mean evolution = puberty? Dick should get a third evolution into Batman, too, right?

brentschoonover:Day two of the Facebook Art Challenge. Going through files trying to find artwork that I haven’t posted before I realize I have a swell
amount of material from pitches that never took off or samples that
didn’t lead to a gig. Here’s some stuff DC asked me to do that sadly
never materialized into anything.

docshaner:JUSTICE 9 — Earth 36Since everybody else seems to be posting their lines for the Multiversity Guidebook, here’s mine. My understanding was that this world’s heroes were a combination of the New 52 Justice League and the Big Bang Comics characters. I was asked to design looks for Iron Knight, War Queen, Mer-Man, Cyberion, Blackbird, and Robin Hood, as well as update Optiman’s costume. Red Racer and Flashlight have appeared in a previous issue of Multiversity. Nathan Fairbairn colored the finished piece, which I’ll post later.(It was very exciting to design some Grant Morrison characters for DC, to understate things a bit)

Here’s a couple recent commissions. Shout out to Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely, the illest team in comics history bar none. Pax Americana is the greatest comic of this decade. For more original art check out Felix Comic Art.
