After doing a few of these A Deadpool A Day sketches, I found myself... umm, how could I say? At a loss for ideas. I imagined Deadpool in a bunch of action poses, but that was about it.

It took my friend and fellow artist Dan Greenwald to help me break out of the box. I asked for a suggestion and he said, "draw him with his arm on fire." LET IT BE DONE!

This was one of the first poses that came to my mind when I started doing A Deadpool A Day sketches. I guess it's because I was reared on old school heroes, like the Super Friends and the Batman 60s show and the corny live-action Spider-Man show and Claremont's swashbuckling Nightcrawler.

So when I think of superheroes, I often think of them swinging in on ropes to save the day or kick some butt. Kinda silly of me in today's tech-heavy hero atmosphere. But I figure Wade Wilson would swing in on a rope just for dramatic effect!

This was my first successful A Deadpool A Day sketch. To me, it's very much in the Deadpool tradition... and, as you'll see soon, not all of my daily DP sketches are quite as traditional.

When I think of Wade Wilson, I think of his Merc with a Mouth reputation -- I think of him being hired to shoot people. So this pic here, one could say, is my most subconscious conceptualization of Liefeld's enigmatic anti-hero.
