Submitted MODOK: Chad Maupin

Mr. Maupin works hard.  He also budgets his time so that he can play hard too.  This diligent budgeting of his time means he was able to send us this awesome B&W MODOK image thus cementing his devotion to our annual Month of Merriment.  But, that is not all he even went onward to send us an awesome COLOR version, which means double the MODOK!
He writes,

Hello all.

I'm a big fan of your site and have wanted to submit a Modok for over a year.  I'm a freelance graphic designer and illustrator.  I've been so busy I finally decided to just schedule time for this as though it were a job so I'd make myself contribute.

If you'd like to get more info on Chad, just scope out Big-Bot Design! (his place of work). Where he holds the titles of Illustrator, Designer, Art Automaton, and MODOK enthusiast..

Thanks for the submission Chad. You Rock..

Happy Paddy's Day...

Here's wishing you all the best from the blog.
If your gonna get your drink on tonight, please do be safe. Also, I can't really confirm the point of origin for MODOK's thrusters on this one... I'm blaming it all on a large meal of cabbage...

Hope you dig,

Submitted MODOK: Henning Larsen

Something is MODOK in the state of Denmark!
Henning Larsen hosts a comic podcast in Denmark and sent us a vast bounty of MODOK art.

 Here's the final image in the batch Henning sent us.  MODOK out for a ride on his Moped.  Oh, and don't let MODOK's cheerful expression fool you, He will NOT stand for your lack of turn signal usage, or other poor driving manners.

Thanks, Mr. Larsen.  Be sure to tune back in for more pieces from this Danish cartoonist.

Submitted MODOK: Martien Bos

From Amsterdam in The Netherlands, Martien Bos brings us this MODOK offering...
He writes:

Hi there,

This MODOK was inspired by my trip to Denmark last summer. In Christiania, Copenhagen there was (still is) this really dreamlike state of mess, where I imagine H.C. Anderson's spirit is still very alive. A place where MODOK doesn't really belong, I guess.

Anyway, I really enjoy your blog!

Keep em up, see you next year?

Thanks for sharing your work with us here at MMM, Mr. Bos, and we'll be looking forward to seeing you again next year...

SCULPEY MODOK!

Here comes Modok in all his fleshy pink-colored sculpey ugliness!

While tinier than the actual modok (this sculpture is a mere 5" in height,) his gaze remains intense, evil and above all else- MURDEROUS!

Good friend Phil Andrews incorporates MODOK into his most recent strip, Elmsfield Towers, which you should all be reading.  It's a fun strip and I've been loving how it's unfolding.  Go. Read. Now.

Submitted MODOK: Jarek Pulit

This most topical MODOK drawing comes from Jarek Pulit.
He writes,

Hi,

I discovered your blog last year from a post on drawn.ca but was one month too late to contribute. So this time around I made a concerted effort to get at it early in the month. I couldn't resist using Rush Limbaugh's cherubic face as the inspiration for a Modok/Limbaugh mashup. I call him Lodok ... I suppose. 

Killer stuff Jarek, Thanks very much for sharing your work and time with us..

Submitted MODOK: Benjamin Ritter

This mash-up comes from Benjamin Ritter:

I call this SONDOK.  I imagine this is the Modok Dr. Robotnik would create if he ever actually caught Sonic.

Hey, that might be incentive to get caught for the speedy hedgehog!  Thanks, Benjamin!

Submitted MODOK: Carter and Spencer

Carter and Spencer return with some awesome MODOKs this year.  Check it out:

Carter (10) says:

"My picture has Modok trying to cook a hot dog with his head laser.  It came to me when I was looking at the Superhero Squad one-panel comics and thought I'd try my own joke.  I drew it with a pencil, but used Adobe Illustrator to color it."

Spencer (7) says:

"I used colored pencils to make "Mobacca" because it was a mix of Modok and Chewbacca.  It came to me because I was playing Star Wars when we drew it and because I like Chewbacca because he is fuzzy."

Chewbacca IS fuzzy!  Great job, guys!  Thanks for your submissions!

Where would you hide if you had a big headed bounty hunter on your tail?  The mall?  NO!  Philip writes:

What if MODOK and Boba Fett were one and the same character? I'd like you to meet MOBA FETT, the galaxy's greatest bounty hunter and destroyer. This Mental Organism Built for Annihilation and For Eradicating and Terrorizing Themall was digitally created in Photoshop . . . because I could. 

You could and did.  Awesome.  You can see more of Philip Reed's work at www.battlegrip.com.

Submitted MODOK: James Lopez

James Lopez was nice enough to send us this submission of MODOK (and an A.I.M. Beekeeper enjoying afternoon tea) which he drew while he was bored in class.  

In his email he writes:

I have been a big fan of the MODOK Madness since its inception, thank you so much for doing something so fun during March. I don't know what it is that draws so many people to this character. Let's be honest, he is a maleficent, uncordial, abrasive, rotund, conniving, capricious, evil character. But, similar to a pug, he is just so damn ugly that you feel compelled to love him and care for him. That awkward sense of love and attraction that a human can only give to a large orbiting head. Because at the end of the day, he is YOUR orbiting head.

Thank you very much and good luck with one of the few things I look forward to every year! 

Excelsior!

Many thanks to James for letting MODOK into his heart and mind this March, during class lectures no less... Yep, I kinda see MODOK like a Pug dog.  But, will admit that I wouldn't wanna clean up after MODOK during walkies...  Not enough plastic baggies...ever.

Submitted MODOK: Steven Mertens

Mr. Mertens, an artist who hails from Williamsburg, Brooklyn (my old hood!) submits this cheerful MODOK and writes:

This is a piece I did for your March Modok Madness .... All the pictures I see of Modok he looks so unhappy. I thought I would portray him with a smile, maybe he's at a birthday party.

Right on.  MODOK doesn't get invited to too many birthday parties because, you know, all the killing.  And he steals presents.  Check out Steven's blog here.

Submitted MODOK: J. Kantz

This MODOK cutie comes by way of John Kantz who writes:

Hey, I think this art jam is awesome. I totally meant to draw a M.O.D.O.K. last year when one of my co-workers introduced me to your blog, but I forgot. I made sure to get a head start this year. Anyway, I have devised an image as jarring as an actual telekinetic force blast from M.O.D.O.K. himself! Look on and despair at the Mental Organism Designed Only for Kawaiiii.

Submitted MODOK: Henning Larsen

Something is MODOK in the state of Denmark!
Henning Larsen hosts a comic podcast in Denmark and sent us a vast bounty of MODOK art.

Here's the second in the batch Henning sent us,  it's a stellar Pie-eyed MODOK in the style of an early 20's cartoon character.  He comes with awesome rubber hose style limbs, a blaster sporting industrial bulbs, and even jaunty lyrical music notes radiating Kirby style of his Mind blast array.  Toss in some three fingered white gloves, and some henchmen with Cyclone fence for face guards and you've got something truly magical.
Thanks, Mr. Larsen.  Be sure to, tune back in for more pieces from this Danish cartoonist.

MO' ROCK with DIO-DOK!

Here MODOK busted out his Big Rocking Hairdo to sing HOLY DIVER at the A.I.M. offices weekly Karaoke outing. He also signs a stirring version of "You were always on my mind." For obvious reasons.

Frankly, a good many of my Modok drawings are drawings that start being about one thing but gradually change focus to something else. Not sure how I got to this

Hope you dig,
P

Submitted MODOK: Jeremy Nguyen

Lamenting the end of Black History Month and elated by the beginning of March MODOK Madness, Jeremy forged a bridge between the two this past March first.  We love MODOKs of all colors, baby.  He included a sketch of the piece as well
