Sketchin’ 42

So here we are, at the early stages of winter and what better subject matter for my latest image than a film that takes place in a cold hell?

Here you go, Kurt Russell from the incredible John Carpenter directed… The Thing!

John Carpenter and Kurt Russell collaborated on three of my all time favorite films: Escape From New York (though I felt the low budget hurt the film toward its climax, it was still a great, creative story and Snake Plisskin is easily one of Kurt Russell’s best characters!), Big Trouble In Little China (wherein Kurt Russell humorously plays the stupid sidekick… who thinks he’s the main show!), and the subject of my latest piece, The Thing.  (They made at least two other films together, Elvis and the tongue in cheek remake of Escape From New York, Escape From L.A.)

Sadly, all three films didn’t do all that well at the box office though all three are considered cult classics today.

Regardless, enjoy and have yourselves a very Happy Holidays, everyone!
