Two Drawings from last week: The Happening and Steven Seagal

Monday · 23 Jun 08 · 03:09 AM IST | Posted by Karthik | Category: Art

I did a couple of drawings last weekend that I didn't post.  They were originally intended to accompany the last couple of updates, but then I didn't get around to scanning them.  So here they are —

The Happening — Drawing by Karthik Abhiram

The first is a quick pencil drawing of Mark Wahlberg and Zooey Deschanel from the M Night Shyamalan movie The Happening.  Now, I already wrote about the movie in a previous post, and though it isn't a good movie, it looks like it's doing quite well at the box office.  Keeping the theme of the movie in mind, the drawing was given a greenish tint!  Click the image above for a larger version.

The next drawing was done with ballpoint pen and is a picture of Steven Seagal, from his appearance in The Onion Movie, which has a fake trailer for a movie called Cockpuncher.  It's used as a running gag throughout the movie, and I found it quite funny.  Hence, the drawing!  Click the above image to see a larger and "uncensored" version (with the cheeky tagline too!).  One interesting thing is that I watched a Steven Seagal movie called Urban Justice before seeing The Onion Movie, and that made the fake trailer even funnier!  Here is the trailer for The Onion Movie, which also includes part of the above mentioned fake trailer.

After last week's posts I watched a couple more movies — first is Maniac Cop from 1988, which is an interesting horror-thriller about a string of murders that appear to be committed by someone wearing a police officer's uniform.  Subsequent investigation reveals that the perpetrator may be an undead cop called Matt Cordell (Robert Z'Dar).  Then, I watched a movie called Pathology which is written by Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor (the guys behind Crank).  It's a twisted and perverse thriller about a group of medical students who play an interesting game — committing murder and having the others figure out how it was done!  Lots of wickedly gruesome stuff in this movie, which made it interesting to watch.  Were it not for the extreme content, there wouldn't be much else to recommend the movie.  I'd rate both the above movies 7/10.  Yesterday I got to see The Incredible Hulk on a large screen, and that deserves a post by itself.
