This piece is actually just the first part of something a little bigger, but the second part is still very much in the mock-up phase, so in the meantime, here's part 1 of "Punch-Out!" I've taken a few cues from comics here. In particular, the Marvel superhero Iron Fist has the amazing ability to focus his chi directly into his right hand making it like unto a thing of iron! (Yes, that is the exact wording from
Power Man and Iron Fist #66. Read anything enough times, and it
will be memorized.) I wanted this piece to show the potential energy being harnessed in the wind-up of a punch, and the Iron Fist comics --with maybe just a dash of Kirby dots-- seemed like a good place to start. What will come next? Well, there's really only one logical direction for the follow-up, but with a small stack of books and some travel on my plate right now, that may be a few weeks in coming.
