About a year ago I spent about 6 months working as a rotoscope artist on Lions 3D: Roar of the Kalahari for IMAX 3D, and fortunately for me I still have lion-shapes saved in muscle memory. Although now that I look at it, the lion's head looks more like a great white shark, which could quite possibly make it the Most Frightening Animal Ever. I think a run of t-shirts may be necessary.

In Memoriam: Cambodian Midget Fighting League
In 2005, a bored journalist concocted a fake news story to amuse his friends. It centered around the 42 members of the fictional Cambodian Midget Fighting League taking on a lion--and losing in 12 minutes. The article escaped into the ether of the internet and many news sources began reporting it as fact. Check out the original article here. One of my homeboys (who didn't discover it was fake until just recently) has adopted the name for his fantasy football league, and asked me to do an illustration.

I love this story...I first heard about it on "the Ricky Gervais Show" Podcast S01E02. I was also thinking of a line of T-shirts. Maybe something like the NYPD T-shirts
