The Holy Trinity


Mooney here, Thompson's off galavanting and asked me to stick this up for him.
This here piece is a real blast from the past. It features Thompson, myself and our good friend Adam(Avatar of Human Perfection) Kelly as a Jedi, Rick Deckard and a colonial marine respectively. Yes, those were nerdy times. We used to spend all day every day drawing in my house, followed each night by a vigorously contested game of Mario Kart wherein myself and Adam would do our utmost to win, while Thompson just killed me continuously while completely disregarding any aspirations of winning himself, just because he knew it annoyed me so.
Ah... good times.

Haha Awesome. Great likeness of yourself Mooney

Stephen Mooney said...

I think Thompson's likeness is the best. He was always good at them, I pretty much learned how to do them well from him, of course I would never tell him that...

David Ferguson said...

That really looks like you. His likenesses are good alright.

Will Sliney said...

Im still waiting for him to do that Sliney-Man verses Dec Ock piece

Declan Shalvey said...

Man, that drawing of you is the best drawing of you i've ever seen; and you've drawn yourself a LOT.

Great 80s movie illustration vibe to this. Plus; i like the non-spikey-haired Adam. Never thought such a thing could exist.

That's like the Holy Trinity of nerdvana. All hail the mighty Father, Son and Holy Ghost of Geekdom.

(spoilt only by a buncha ugly mugs... except for Adam ... whoever he is. swoon.)

Swoon indeed!

Do you remember that we had a very in depth photo shoot for this in the old Mooney place in Bayside, and all three of us were supposed to do a Struzan style poster?

Stephen Mooney said...

I do remember. In a weird twist, you were the only one who actually saw it through. I started mine and never finished, and Adam, well he just liked getting his photo taken. I hilariously still have the pics if you ever want a larf.
Did you ever find the original for this? You promised it to Jac, she wants to put it in the bathroom.

jacintha said...

Yeah I really want this picture!! Sort that out Thompson... Is Adam holding such a large weapon cos he hadn't developed his own guns back then?

Declan Shalvey said...

Of course she wants it; who WOULDN'T want to look at this while sitting on the toilet?

Bob Byrne said...

Nasty. Mario Kart...my ball bag still constricts with joy when I see red shells

Stephen Thompson said...

Oh yeah, I meant to say I found the original for this when I moved, so it's all yours Jac.

jacintha said...

Yay!! though I don't think the toilet decision was mine..

Stephen Mooney said...

Yeah that was me. I wanna be able to gaze at Adam while I'm squeezing one out.

Steven, every day I feel a little more loved, Jack beware!
