Todd Lockwood created an amazing portrait of Stephen Colbert, a true American hero.
Upper Deck Entertainment commissioned the illustration from Todd and they were going to use it in their upcoming World of Warcraft trading card game, but were contacted by Cobert’s people who asked that they not use the image. At some point Todd’s illustration had been accidently posted on the internet which of course then spread like wildfire. Mary McNamara has the full story over on Multichannel News.

Hello LS and Todd,
Have a FEW comments about this, but to keep it short for the blog-reading attention spans, this email sent to us by the California branch of the Alliance of Wu Ming ( a collective of authors formerly known as Luther Blissett until he was ritually diffused for public use) perhaps expresses it best:
“Any attempt to resurrect a sitcom/slasher empire under this idiotic flag, whether it be waved by Colbert, Gary Coleman, Obama/Clinton, Tom Hanks, Rupert Pupkin, Ronald Reagan’s ghost or Daffy Duck, is LAUGHABLE. There’s never been much else behind that curtain than a blood-paved “democracy†made by genocidal elites, and their profiteering psycho puppeteers and propaganda masters. Reminder: NATIONAL heroes are for the brain dead and historically dry-cleaned, those who are then easily made proper fodder for the addictions to militarized borders and gory patriot reruns.
In addition, the culture jammer’s menu still reads: Kill Your Television! … and we might add: the horse it came in on! ANd all its kin! … which could very well mean that which has been upgraded and re-wired to your daily incorporated laps!â€
Fantastic! I cannot wait to see this featured on The Colbert Report! Someone should send Stephen his own framed copy to put on his shelves.
