Mars Blackman
Do you know who Mars Blackman is? Do you know? Do you know? Do you know????
I used to always love the NBA All-Star game cause there would be a new MJ and Mars commercial to hype the new Air Jordans.
Here's my homage to Mars and some links to his commercials from the late 80's. Click on them for some Nike goodness!

Ben, settle down on the cintiq, don't you have a story board to finish. I loved mars.
I COULD be working on the storyboard, but I'm only 4 weeks behind on a 6 week schedual. I won't really be able to focus until I hit that crisis moment of...Oh crap, what the hell was I thinking?! I've only got 2 weeks to board 12 more script pages? *&@@@$$***!! Butch will understand that I'm late cause I had to draw Mars, right?
