FASTEST APE ALIVE

I was planning on moving on from the ‘super gorilla’ drawings for a while…. maybe for a LONG while. However, after drawing the FLASH (non-gorilla version) a couple of posts back– almost immediately after I’d finished it, the image of him as a great ape, loping along at super-speed flashed in my mind and imagination. It’s like it was demanding to be drawn… and I never deny my imagination when it tells me to draw something. After mind-numbingly drawing what OTHER people tell me to draw almost all the time, I’m not likely to turn away my own subconscious when it presents me with an opportunity to do something -I- might want to do. I realize that Art Adams has already drawn FLASH as a gorilla… and I was attempting to stay away from any characters that he might have done in this manner…but this is one that I just couldn’t resist.

And thus, GORILLA FLASH.

This is Entry 234.
