Pulp Project HoHyp stage 1: Introduction

Pulp.

Inexpensive fiction magazines printed on wood pulp paper.

These Pulp magazines have magnificent covers depicting scenes of great heroes, heinous villains, and beautiful damsels in distress, all caught in the point of great excitement.

Pulp magazines gave birth to characters such as Conan the Barbarian and the Punisher.

This is the beginning of my first Pulp cover. It is based on the scene in Borderlands 2 after you fight and free the powerful Siren named Angel, the antagonist Handsome Jack's daughter, from her power-draining prison in the "Crisis Core Angel" facilities. However, in the true form of propaganda, the roles have been switched. Handsome Jack (on the left) is depicted as a hero and the real hero, Roland (on the left) will be holding a gun to Angel's head.

Anachronism: unfinished and unhappy

Anachronistic portrait of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The only piece of this that is mine is the background. It's kinda my front yard.

MOAR progress!

Some more progress. I am about to have to go out, so tonight I'll be putting the final finishing touches on it.

progress

There is some really heavy editing coming tonight. say goodbye to the normal background, and maybe a few of the people are getting replaced. i don't really know what's coming next.

I have a small issue.

What has my graphics class done to me? Ben Franklin's holding an Android g3. Someone has Miley Cyrus hair. The Declaration of Independence is being signed with SHARPIES! And this is just the beginning! By the end of it, I may go so far as to put Robert Downey Jr. in the background or give someone a Barney head! Here I am, at 1:14 in the morning, posting a picture that is so historically wrong that the candles are fluorescent lights. I need sleep.

Out-of-time portrait

Here it is so far, a project based on placing things out of time. All that I have done is repair damages to this image i found on the web. The fun part is yet to come!

Chuck Jones

"All of us must eventually do what the matador does;

go out and face not only the bull, but the crowd.

It does the matador little good,

provides him little satisfaction

to make beautiful passes

in a moonlit pasture"

-Chuck Jones

At first glance this quote inspires no thoughts, and after research it doesn't even seem to exist. However, after reading it several times in different tones, a meaning begins to emerge from it. A meaning that defeats its questioned validity. The matador does not only fight against the bull, but he must fight for the crowd. Without the crowd, the matador has no purpose. No one to cheer him on, nothing to prove himself to, nothing to put on a show for. A crowdless matador is a pointless matador- he can't keep to himself forever, there has to be something to cheer him on.
