Losing Dio and master artist Frank Frazetta in the same week has been terrible...Peace to Wendy and everyone that was touched by the greatest metal vocalist we'll ever know.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2644993229584390849-6676930046999140370?l=tommypons-artist.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Tommyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16620839264518342397noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644993229584390849.post-35637611389901129332009-10-30T23:54:00.000-07:002009-10-30T23:59:13.577-07:00<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NIsygQA6nH4/SuvgAL4qI7I/AAAAAAAAABA/Fm_gSnuAV9g/s1600-h/children_play_2.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 260px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NIsygQA6nH4/SuvgAL4qI7I/AAAAAAAAABA/Fm_gSnuAV9g/s400/children_play_2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398654872128725938" /></a><br />When I was 6-7 yrs old, I begged my Mom to take me to see this film. Due to my excitement, we got to the theatre early, catching the last few minutes of the first film of the double feature(remember those?). Anyway, here's me, Coke and popcorn in hand and my Mom sitting in the theatre as a girl sticks a violin bow right into the eye socket of some deranged killer...blood everywhere.<br /><br /> My Mom turns to me and says, as she's clutching her purse, <em>"I'm going to be outside in the car waiting for you when your movies over".</em><br /><br />Thanks Mom for warping me for life...XOX.<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hm8elaYH7c4<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2644993229584390849-3563761138990112933?l=tommypons-artist.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Tommyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16620839264518342397noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644993229584390849.post-39837395908994716002009-10-30T19:33:00.000-07:002009-10-30T19:35:52.509-07:00<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NIsygQA6nH4/Suuifw4UnqI/AAAAAAAAAA4/ddgOLifTLYY/s1600-h/Eddie_Halloween_small%2520.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 337px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NIsygQA6nH4/Suuifw4UnqI/AAAAAAAAAA4/ddgOLifTLYY/s400/Eddie_Halloween_small%2520.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398587244914450082" /></a><br />Nothing says Happy Halloween like an Eddie and a vomiting pumpkin...Watch out for those ghosts and goblins everyone!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2644993229584390849-3983739590899471600?l=tommypons-artist.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Tommyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16620839264518342397noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644993229584390849.post-54708521710621925932009-10-19T14:55:00.000-07:002009-10-19T14:57:58.725-07:00<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NIsygQA6nH4/Stzg3Lp6i0I/AAAAAAAAAAM/YFwuc_5EpsE/s1600-h/Eddie++blade+email.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394433692309031746" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 304px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NIsygQA6nH4/Stzg3Lp6i0I/AAAAAAAAAAM/YFwuc_5EpsE/s400/Eddie++blade+email.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>I decided to start up a new blog that will hopefully be updated on a regular basis.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Here's a new Eddie, done in brush/ink for the Italian Iron Maiden fanzine "Eddies".</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2644993229584390849-5470852171062192593?l=tommypons-artist.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Tommyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16620839264518342397noreply@blogger.com0
