Death Wish 3 is a 1985 action thriller, and the second sequel to the 1974 film Death Wish. It is also the greatest film ever. Period. That’s why Hollywood is all remakes now. Cause the perfect film has already been made, and it stars Charles Bronson.

Paul Kersey is the main character in the Death Wish films and he has one goal and one goal only. Eliminate feral street gangs. Like any good artist Paul uses many supplies to paint his canvas of revenge. Some of his favorites are a Wildey .475 caliber handgun, a .38 caliber snubnose revolver, a Browning .30 machine gun, and a LAW (light anti-tank weapon) handheld rocket launcher.

All this made it only natural for my next Mansie design to be for Death Wish Three. Below is the newest design. Hope you dig it.

So my last post ended with suggesting that illustrators should start creating more personal material for the new consumer. Recently I’ve begun to start a slow process of creating a new product venture called Mansies.

Mansies is an idea I had about a year ago when pretty much every person I have ever met in my life had gotten pregos all at the same time. After shopping around at the typical baby clothing stores and even the local boutique stores I just came to the conclusion that most baby clothes were terribly generic. “Daddie’s little slugger!” or “Mommies little Princess” were the typical selections and I’m pretty sure if a 6 week old could talk they’d ask for something else. It’s probably why they cry so much.

I’ve always been interested in putting my artwork on clothing. It’s a tough investment with very crowded competition. Mansies is going to start very slow but over time I have big plans for the brand and hope to expand it to more than just baby cloths. For now though please check out the first three selections on my wife’s Etsy shop she runs with her mother, Becky. It’s called Rebecca Cole Creative and if you don’t like the Mansies they have plenty of other goods I’m sure you’ll enjoy.
