"&gt;'Comix Gone Rogue' aims&lt;/strong&gt; to feature a wide variety of artists interpreting blank variant comic book covers issued by mainstream comic book companies. The blank variant presents many opportunities for artists to have a creative interactive outlet&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:'courier new';font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt; with iconic super heros.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:'courier new';font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:'courier new';font-size:130%;"&gt;The intention I assume by mainstream companies was for the audience to purchase these variants to have artists who officially worked on the issue to do a quick sketch, autograph or simply decide to keep the crisp white cover untainted.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;line-height: 16px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new'; font-size: large; line-height: normal; "&gt;I saw an opportunity to gather my favorite artists unassociated to the issue to draw the cover in their own unique way.  As my collection grew it has lead to an unofficial comics cover show I named &lt;strong style="line-height: 16px; "&gt;'Comix Gone Rogue'&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:'courier new';font-size:130%;"&gt;The style of each artist that contributes builds a story naturally.

It was late at night and I was ready for bed so I worked on this for a very short time - creating just for the sake of creating. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;There are only two images placed with each other - purposely limiting the materials I had to work with. One image being an advertisement for a &lt;a href="http://uv201.com/Promo_pages/magic_brain_new.htm"&gt;RCA VICTOR radio!!!&lt;/a&gt;  and the other a poster for the movie the 'Taxi Driver'.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Before researching the RCA image I thought it was an engine.  The radios unique and outdated design I felt worked well with the character of the 'Taxi Driver' as the &lt;a href="http://uv201.com/Promo_pages/magic_brain_new.htm"&gt;original image&lt;/a&gt; looks like an engine set inside a mans brain.   Later on I found out it was a radio from the 1930's.  If I worked on the image a bit more I would take out the 'RCA VICTOR' and replace it with something more relevant towards the character.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3326003044509312797-2197823307456983093?l=aperfectempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aperfectempire.blogspot.com/feeds/2197823307456983093/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aperfectempire.blogspot.com/2011/04/taxi-driver-poster.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3326003044509312797/posts/default/2197823307456983093'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3326003044509312797/posts/default/2197823307456983093'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aperfectempire.blogspot.com/2011/04/taxi-driver-poster.html' title='TAXI DRIVER POSTER'/><author><name>EDWIN VAZQUEZ</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04794439474835093829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ikWc5KknQDw/TnT9HXxEfVI/AAAAAAAABuk/9PrY_MNPam4/s220/wolf_face.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-C9OClEPMn_c/Tam_uMkI0II/AAAAAAAABTw/bCQDTKAJfBU/s72-c/taxi.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3326003044509312797.post-5055661666226450096</id><published>2011-04-16T08:47:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-16T08:56:41.975-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='World War 3'/><title type='text'>WW3 #42 cover REJECT</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;width: 400px; height: 252px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6V7ztZlR1ZY/Tam7mZuaiwI/AAAAAAAABTo/APPARU8wWaA/s400/ww3_sketch_edwin.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596210280399538946" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I have been working on editing the latest issue of World War 3 Illustrated # 42, themed 'Liberation: From the Mid-East to the Mid-West'.

I am fortunate to be a part of this show and work alongside many of its contributors such as Peter Kuper, Seth Tobocman, Nicole Schulman, Fly and Sandy Jimenez to name a few.   At the Exit Art Gallery you will find a mural I painted at the main entrance as well as 4 pieces included in the show.  The Times review also mentioned the ongoing magazines latest issue #41 themed&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt; 'The Food Chain'&lt;/span&gt; which I contributed as an editor and created the back cover with my classic image " I love it". &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/14/arts/design/14galleries-GRAPHICRADIC_RVW.html"&gt;Click here for the NY TIMES article &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3326003044509312797-691084330066370457?l=aperfectempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aperfectempire.blogspot.com/feeds/691084330066370457/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aperfectempire.blogspot.com/2011/01/world-war-3-nytimes-review.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3326003044509312797/posts/default/691084330066370457'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3326003044509312797/posts/default/691084330066370457'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aperfectempire.blogspot.com/2011/01/world-war-3-nytimes-review.html' title='WORLD WAR 3 NYTIMES REVIEW'/><author><name>EDWIN VAZQUEZ</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04794439474835093829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ikWc5KknQDw/TnT9HXxEfVI/AAAAAAAABuk/9PrY_MNPam4/s220/wolf_face.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jJVch0JZT0Y/TTHObEwJC_I/AAAAAAAABJQ/T_b6SFq4174/s72-c/new_york_times.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3326003044509312797.post-741747107089889799</id><published>2010-12-31T08:40:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2010-12-31T08:42:01.647-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='The Wild One'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Johnny is Dead'/><title type='text'>'JOHHNY IS DEAD' - A Eulogy to the rebel spirt</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jJVch0JZT0Y/TR4Htd73CiI/AAAAAAAABF4/Zw8IYFkYCMA/s1600/edwin_johnny_lit.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;

These will be available on my website soon.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3326003044509312797-2642779265608372618?l=aperfectempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aperfectempire.blogspot.com/feeds/2642779265608372618/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aperfectempire.blogspot.com/2010/11/johnny-is-dead-preview.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3326003044509312797/posts/default/2642779265608372618'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3326003044509312797/posts/default/2642779265608372618'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aperfectempire.blogspot.com/2010/11/johnny-is-dead-preview.html' title='JOHNNY IS DEAD Preview'/><author><name>EDWIN VAZQUEZ</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04794439474835093829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ikWc5KknQDw/TnT9HXxEfVI/AAAAAAAABuk/9PrY_MNPam4/s220/wolf_face.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jJVch0JZT0Y/TNSEUGpsg5I/AAAAAAAABCw/6h9Yzel1_cI/s72-c/edwin_the_wild_one_1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3326003044509312797.post-5914767859154716356</id><published>2010-11-04T23:48:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-11-04T23:51:05.728-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Illustrator'/><title type='text'>Balloons</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;width: 286px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jJVch0JZT0Y/TNOo36TcbQI/AAAAAAAABCg/Zl3wEic6vus/s400/edwin_balloons.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5535954045465554178" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;It is 3 am... playing around with Illustrator... a new toy.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3326003044509312797-5914767859154716356?l=aperfectempire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aperfectempire.blogspot.com/feeds/5914767859154716356/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aperfectempire.blogspot.com/2010/11/balloons.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3326003044509312797/posts/default/5914767859154716356'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3326003044509312797/posts/default/5914767859154716356'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aperfectempire.blogspot.com/2010/11/balloons.html' title='Balloons'/><author><name>EDWIN VAZQUEZ</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04794439474835093829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ikWc5KknQDw/TnT9HXxEfVI/AAAAAAAABuk/9PrY_MNPam4/s220/wolf_face.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jJVch0JZT0Y/TNOo36TcbQI/AAAAAAAABCg/Zl3wEic6vus/s72-c/edwin_balloons.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3326003044509312797.post-49767659154315017</id><published>2010-11-02T21:34:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-11-02T21:40:25.355-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='The Wild One'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Johnny is Dead'/><title type='text'>Sneak Peak</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;width: 400px; height: 282px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jJVch0JZT0Y/TNDmiGBzzqI/AAAAAAAABB8/-R-ySsL3h5g/s400/edwin_wild_one.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5535177415446482594" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Here is a color study of '&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Johnny Is Dead'&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - my new book - pages 2 &amp;amp; 3.
