Yesterday, news broke across the deep dark corridors of the nerd realm of internet fandom, that Joshua Hale Fialkov was walking off his two Green Lantern books before a single issue had been published. ...]]> http://halhefner.com/dc-comics-plans-to-kill-john-stewart-propaganda-art/feed/ 0 http://halhefner.com/lapd-burned-dorner-alive-and-lied-propaganda-art/ http://halhefner.com/lapd-burned-dorner-alive-and-lied-propaganda-art/#comments Fri, 15 Feb 2013 17:40:20 +0000 Hal Hefner http://halhefner.com/?p=1440 The LAPD is infamous for corruption and brutality. Rampart. Rodney King. Those are just a few names that decorate the last thirty years of their history.

In issue #700, Slott officially kills Peter Parker, supposedly forever, by trapping him in the body of Doc Ock, who then does, in ...]]> http://halhefner.com/propaganda-art-inspired-by-amazing-spider-man-issue-700/feed/ 0 http://halhefner.com/lance-armstrong-propaganda-art-dopestrong/ http://halhefner.com/lance-armstrong-propaganda-art-dopestrong/#comments Thu, 31 Jan 2013 19:15:13 +0000 Hal Hefner http://halhefner.com/?p=1383 This past Sunday, I watched a pretty riveting 60 minutes interview about Lance Armstrong. Here is a preview of the interview if you’d like to see. What I saw made me want to vomit. Lance Armstrong is just a vile human being. In all reality he was a bully, a drug lord and an overall ...]]> http://halhefner.com/lance-armstrong-propaganda-art-dopestrong/feed/ 0 http://halhefner.com/giorgio-tsoukalos-propaganda-art-by-hal-hefner/ http://halhefner.com/giorgio-tsoukalos-propaganda-art-by-hal-hefner/#comments Tue, 22 Jan 2013 10:37:42 +0000 Hal Hefner http://halhefner.com/?p=1354 Giorgio Tsoukalos is a legend. His ancient alien theories, his quaff of Greek God-like hair, his over the top gestures and his extraordinary personality make him the undisputed star of the History Channel’s hit TV show Ancient Aliens. I had some fun with this one because I enjoy drawing him and participating  in the fun that is Giorgio ...]]> http://halhefner.com/giorgio-tsoukalos-propaganda-art-by-hal-hefner/feed/ 0 http://halhefner.com/star-wars-news-zach-synder-abc-tv-show-yoda-and-marijauna/ http://halhefner.com/star-wars-news-zach-synder-abc-tv-show-yoda-and-marijauna/#comments Tue, 15 Jan 2013 00:05:08 +0000 Hal Hefner http://halhefner.com/?p=1325 With all the exciting Star Wars news coming out of Hollywood today, I found it fitting to also reveal the news from my inside sources.

CNN is reporting that ABC is finally ready to adapt a Live Action Star Wars TV show: http://www.cnn.com/2013/01/11/showbiz/tv/abc-star-wars-tv-series-ew/ AND Zack Snyder Developing ‘Star ...]]> http://halhefner.com/star-wars-news-zach-synder-abc-tv-show-yoda-and-marijauna/feed/ 0 http://halhefner.com/fetts-boba-faux-propaganda-art-boba-fett-star-wars-poster/ http://halhefner.com/fetts-boba-faux-propaganda-art-boba-fett-star-wars-poster/#comments Fri, 11 Jan 2013 17:44:23 +0000 Hal Hefner http://halhefner.com/?p=1314 I love Propaganda art. It has been something I have been drawn to since I was a little kid. I remember seeing old posters of American, Russian and Nazi War propaganda and was enthralled with the design and bold statements. As a creative person who has worked as both an illustrator and designer for the advertising industry, propaganda art ...]]> http://halhefner.com/fetts-boba-faux-propaganda-art-boba-fett-star-wars-poster/feed/ 0 http://halhefner.com/digital-paintings/ http://halhefner.com/digital-paintings/#comments Fri, 28 Dec 2012 21:24:36 +0000 Hal Hefner http://halhefner.com/?p=891 HAL HEFNER’s DIGITAL PAINTING PROCESS: I love to draw and create things with “digital paint”. At heart, I am a storyteller, first and foremost. I tell stories with my art and I approach every painting right down to the smallest detail with this in mind. I am obsessed with form, lighting and the shadows of objects.  ...]]> http://halhefner.com/digital-paintings/feed/ 0
