Cartoons, Ninjas, and Strawberries

I had been meaning to do a drawing of all the alien rangers from the past 21 years of Power Rangers for a while now. Since I've had some time off I decided to get started on it. After I want to do a drawing spotlighting Zane since he is one of my all time favorite rangers. I hope everyone enjoys the work in progress! -DM

Take a look at the logo I created for Pasta Tuesday! Featuring our character Lupo!! Lupo (meaning wolf in Italian) is the national animal of Italy. This hand drawn character will be featured in upcoming Pasta Tuesday endeavors. -DM

I love how the hair on the back of the neck is a very clear indication of the line of action in the giraffe. Beautiful animals!! -DM

Merry Christmas Everyone!!!! It was another fantastic Christmas for me, because I have such a great family. When I think about them I am reminded of the true meaning of Christmas and how lucky I am to have them in my life enriching my life everyday. One of our traditions is to have a traditional Italian candy called "Torrone". I got a lot of great gifts this year. My S.H. Figuarts collection got a little bigger. I have been collecting all my life and these figures have to be some of the best ever made. If I saw these Power Ranger figures as a kid I don't think I could have contained my excitement. The same can be said for the Legacy Morpher! You can also see the Doctor in this picture. I really became a big Doctor Who fan this year. The first Super Sentai series I watched that got me into Super Sentai was Gokaiger. So this gift was really awesome. Of course Christmas wouldn't be complete if I didn't ask for something Ninja Turtles. I can't remembe...

Love this song. -DM

I picked up volume one of Ninja Turtles The Next Mutation a few days ago. I didn't care for this show when it aired back in 1997 because the turtles were so different from what I was used. I didn't like it very much when my favorite characters were changed as a kid. That is why I had a hard time getting into Batman Beyond. Bruce was older and not Batman anymore. As I got older, I really loved that show and am enjoying the next mutation as well. As a die hard Ninja Turtle fan I have enjoyed every incarnation of them. Surprisingly, I am really into the new CGI series on Nick. It feels like a nice blend of the '87 and '03 series. As for the new movie currently being filmed in New York, I have my doubts. Michael Bay being attached to it in any way is disappointing and Megan Fox as April is just a joke. I would have loved to see Amy Adams as April. The other day, I watched the episode "Grudge Match" from the 2003 series. It is one of my favorites from that series ...
