Not Yet Confirmed: Channing Tatum as Gambit in Next X-Men movie.

Channing Tatum has not yet been confirmed to play the role of fan favorite "Gambit" in the up coming X-Men Movie. I am very excited to see this character get his long awaited screen time, as it was not enough in the Wolverine Origin movie.

When I first heard teenage heartthrob Heath Ledger being cast as the Joker, I thought it was the worst move in the history of Comic book movies. But I was never proven more wrong, and I think with the right director, writer, and dedication from an actor you can pull off a cinematic master piece. It seems that Channing has been a fan for awhile and shows signs that he is willing to do what it takes.

Because all of the articles surrounding this story have only used Channing's face and/or Gambit's, I decided to do a little photoshop work, enjoy.

Spawn: Piece I made back in 1998

My mother would take me to art class every saturday during my late elementary and middle school years. It was then that I started to develop basic art skills such as shaping, lighting, and shadows. Back then Spawn was my favorite character above all. More than any wolverine, gambit, or batman. To me he was the coolest. Growing up looking at the artwork of Todd McFarlane made me want to become an artist. I don't know if I would be where I am today without Spawn.

Throwback Thursday: Spawn 1998. (age 13)

Which two Villains do you want to see battle it out?

Spiderman and Nightcrawler pieces went over well. What should I do this week? I was thinking of doing a battle scene between two villains. Doesn't necessarily need to be Marvel or DC. Let me know what you would like to see.

Gambit (Remy Lebeau): Work in Progress

Up late working on a gambit iPad sketch late night. I have to say he maybe my favorite X-Men that lasted in the early 90's cartoon series. I definitely liked the joker of the group "Morph" but he died in the 3rd episode.

Rowing Past Life and Death – Oil on Canvas

During my college rowing career. There were moments were i felt I could row forever; even past life and death and/or I can do it till the end of time.

During a race at the Western Invitational Regional Association [WIRA] Championships, I was rowing in the Varsity Four Boat with my mates and lost. I have won races and lost races, but that was my favorite one of all. The intent of this painting was displaying how I felt and I think how we all felt during that race in Spring of 2006.
