Oh, I am dancing with glee! I am giddy with joy! I am a sick bastard!!
You see, back in the fall of 2000![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
icebluenothing introduced me to my second favorite online comic, Chopping Block. It is black humor at its finest, a single panel comic about the trevails of a serial killer named Butch. The artist, Lee Adam Harold, has a very unique style in which he cuts out frisket film to mask out areas of the paper and then uses an ink and sponge blotting technique to create the image. You can see a step-by-step example of his process here. My all-time favorite of the strip, the one that hooked me for good as a fan, is this one:
So a while back Lee posted on his site that he was going to be selling some limited edition hockey masks with original Butch artwork on them. Of course I emailed him saying I wanted one. I also asked if he ever sold any of his originals. Just this afternoon I heard from him, he has a mask for me. He also mentioned that he hadn't sold any of his original art to date, but he wasn't opposed to doing so. An exchange of emails happened, I told him the one I wanted, he named his price, it was absurdly low so I doubled it, and on Monday he will be shipping out to me my mask and I will be the proud owner of the original chainsaw / sorority girl artwork. Woo Hoo!
