The Shrike doesn't like Ike, and my Holy Grail

After two weeks without power (and running water) due to Hurricane Ike, I must say that it's a real treat to log in again and find art waiting for me.

Here is the one I have been waiting for, my Holy Grail of Masked Shrike art:
The Shrike STRIKES! by Brandon McKinney

I was also fortunate enough to get another couple of cool pieces while I was languishing in the dark:
PinUp Girl by Mainasha

The Masked Shrike by Doc Shaner

All of these were as welcome as lights and a hot shower. And I hope everyone who was affected by mean ol' Ike is recovering well, too.

oh wow.... That Mckinney one is epic, like so epic... so epic win words can't express how epic win it is. So much to see, but all done so beautifully, and not too busy, and still so much details. Congrats on that add, its pure epic win.

IN LOVE with McKinney's Shrike piece! Amazing work! Classic.

Beyond awesome.

When the original McKinney shows up, you HAVE to get it framed.

I was fortunate enough to have power within 30 hours of Ike, although the college work from being out of class for an entire week is piling up.

Thanks for the good words, guys. I'm so glad to be back on the power grid and online.

Professor, you bet the McKinney will be framed and hung in a place of honor! Like, maybe stapled to my forehead. It gave me a pulpgasm.

Uziel, thank you so much for the kind words! I really want to commission you folks--maybe I will have to see about having you do one of PinUp

Turbo Ski, that's great you had your power on so quickly. I'm glad you came through okay, I was wondering how all the CoHers came through the storm. Glad to hear you are well. Good luck with the schoolwork! (And get some playtime in too.)
