Snake Eyes Savors a Sandwich

Snake Eyes may be a world class super ninja, but he is also a connoisseur of fine sandwiches.  If only he could take off that mask...

Here's a picture of the Snake Eyes figure I had, from the frighteningly detailed G. I. Joe wiki. Apparently it's the fourth version, from 1991.  Who knew?

And I didn't put a picture of Topside in the last post, so here he is.

Topside Feeling Introspective

The first in the G. I. Joe series.  This one is Topside, lost in thought, possibly about his family farm back in Indiana.

Side note - I got a nice little write up on the Illustration Friday blog.  Cool stuff.  You can check it out here.

G. I. Joe

I loved G. I. Joe's as a kid.  With their ridiculous names and over the top personalities.  Those little plastic dudes were the best.  I've started drawing a series of them, exploring their sensitive sides.  They may have liked explosions, but I'm sure they also read novels, liked to cook, wrote poetry...
Drawings of Joe's to come soon.  Stay tuned!
