I think Shannon should sell it with the copy of GH 3 on ebay. I'm sure he will get alot of money for his painting.

Holy crap. Last person I expected to see show up on the front page of Kotaku, heh. Still good to see you here, Shannon, even if the circumstances aren't too happy. Nice painting.

That's some impressive painting. I'm sorry to hear that he's going through a rough bit of it.

I'm a regular reader of Shannon's blogs, he featured one of his knuckle tattoos not long back, the colours (i'm english ;) ) of the guitar hero buttons corresponding to which finger he presses it with. If you're still reading Shannon, you should post a link, cause i think it was on bodytwo, which isn't up anymore...

Been through the divorce thing myself. It's unpleasant but like everything else time will dull the hurt. At least Shannon dealt with it better than I did....I went on a drug & alcohol bender for several years.

I remarried in '92 but my second wife died in 2000. Now THAT sucks.

Anyhow, great painting. Best of luck to Shannon.

i love not only the painting, but the overall picture as well. the guy's in the corner like 'yeah, here's my painting.. *sigh* i'm gonna go lie down for a while.'

shannon, very sorry to hear about the divorce, which puts the picture into context. i'm also very curious to know what your shirt says.

Shanon, you're the owner/founder of 'I am' aren't you. Also correct me if I'm wrong but you had a cameo in Clerks 2.

That is really cool. You know what would make it really suck? If he got a cease and desist letter from Activision's lawyers.

Do you hear me out there? The guy needs a break! He's probably spent enough time talking with lawyers as it is lately!

It sure beats the shit out of the "paint a wii, sell it for the price of a wii" art crap. Then again, if you sold it, wouldn't it just poor into your soon to be ex-wife's pocket?

@droideka:

definitely. I just remembered the GH3 commercial they play on TV a lot. The one where Slash sprouts from an average guy.

@DigiMish: I think its an average lizard trying to imitate the lizard slash from the game.

Spiderbait — Fri, 28 Dec 2007 06:19:41 MST

Be sure to identify if all you do is paint. I've heard of a type of brain damage that can come from physical and (I think) also mental damage. It has something to do with shutting off some of the left, logical side of your brain and thus enhancing the right, artistic side of your brain. It'll make you unable to stop expressing your feelings through any kind of outlet such as poetry, painting, sculpting, etc.

Tell me... does the other way you are dealing with the divorce involve ingesting illegal herbage?

rad painting indeed... I think the lizard playing the guitar is supposed to resemble slash.
