Iron Man Mark V Tattoo

Here's my Iron Man Mark V tattoo by Frank Lee at Tattoo Blues!

Iron Man and Iron Man 2 Screenings

Well, last night I went to the Regal Cinema 23 at Sawgrass in South Florida and saw the first Iron Man at 9 PM for $5, then Iron Man 2 in the brand new IMAX theater there. I had a great time, met some new friends and just enjoyed the whole experience.

Two years ago I was co-producing a movie, and our first week of production happened during the first Iron Man's release. Due to our schedule, I couldn't see the midnight preview May 1, so I saw it opening day. I only saw it once in the theater, thanks to that long film schedule, but I loved it and saw it several times on DVD.

So to be able to see Iron Man again in a theater, in a crisp digital presentation, was just awesome. Unfortunately, the lights came on in the theater and the sound cut out during the final scene. Oh, well. Otherwise a great experience.

I was able to get into the brand new IMAX theater early and I held seats for my friend JP from my last job, and his friends. It isn't a 5-story IMAX (which I'm okay with), but the screen was big, the sound was great and Iron Man 2 kicked serious butt!

After the screening, I had a photo taken with the War Machine standee. All in all, a great night! And check out Advanced Iron for the best Iron Man fan experience on the web!

Iron Man 2 figure I bought on eBay from Hong Kong: Mark V

I bought this figure online on eBay, from Hong Kong. It's small, around 3 inches or so. It's from the Iron Man 2 line, and it's kinda like the awesome "Silver Centurion" armor. Check it out:

Here's the back:

Here's the Tactical Assault Drone, seen in the awesome Iron Man 2 trailer:

New War Machine Tattoo by World Famous Frank Lee!

Here's my new War Machine tattoo, by world famous artist Frank Lee over at Tattoo Blues in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, one of the absolute best in the world. I took three photos of it with the Nikon D60 so you can see the whole thing. Below is an old photo from early 2004 (by my old friend/co-worker Devin) of my Iron Man tattoo on my right arm (done by my old friend from high school, Erik, at Ink Link Tattoos in West Palm Beach, FL). War Machine is behind him.

The image is originally by War Machine co-creator (with writer Len Kaminski), Kevin Hopgood, and was the chromium cover to Iron Man 288 (Nov. 1992). Check it out here. Frank Also combined elements from the covers of Iron Man 301 (Hopgood) and War Machine 11 (vol. 1, Dave Taylor), as you can see in those respective links. Of course, Frank added his own style and gave me a terrific tat!

I'm hoping to have a background added to Iron Man and another "blast" under my upper arm. Eventually, I have a full sleeve, maybe of more Iron Man armors! Maybe a Bob Layton one!!
