An Inaugural Blogpost of Todd Wesley Hellems

 Good-bye Deviant Art

After Deviant Art bots falsely flagged an image in my Gallery, the bots suspended my account. So, fuck Deviant Art! I'm going to share my art via Blogger. I'm going to have to look elsewhere for the artists I followed and admired but I look forward to the challenge of the search.

This image is "Maravilha Gêmeos" or "Wonder Twins". A very white friend of mine called "Jason Kiss" (awesome name) made a joke about he and I being like twins of opposite alignments. I tend to take a lighter approach to my social commentary and humor whereas Jason is MUCH darker. In skin-tone, I'm rather a walnut shade of brown while Jason is Hungarian, nearly Nordic Ivory. Oh, the irony.

 He and I also don't like clowns.

 This image formed immediately in my mind. It represents our version of the super goofy "form of-shape of" incantation of DC's Wonder Twins and their fist bumping. Jason and I don't change form, though. We, through our friendship, unlock each the other's powers. I still having decided exactly what those powers are, yet. I also haven't given a story about that one clown peeking around the right border.
