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:

Iron Man vs. Iron Monger Tattoo

Got another tattoo by world famous artist Frank Lee at Tattoo Blues. Though the background is done, it needs to heal, but here's what it looks like, plus a photo with the War Machine tattoo.

It's based on this artwork by Bob Layton, a recreation of Iron Man #200 (here's the original), but I wanted Frank to use the armor Tony Stark built AFTER the Silver Centurion armor. Iron Monger was tougher than Iron Man, but that "neo-classic armor" could've wiped out 'Monger in seconds flat!

AND! We got recognition from Iron Man and Iron Man 2 director Jon Favreau (twice!), plus a plug for the War Machine tattoo as well! See his Twitter to find the posts.

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!!

Storm At Sunset

This storm came in right at sunset and really made the whole sky orange-ish. I selected a white balance preset of "Cloudy" on my Nikon D60 and got an even more orange look. Cool, huh?
