If you don’t know already, The Banana Times and I have worked frequently with the Heroic Melon Collective. The HMC’s history is a new one, and as of April 2010 it would be one year old! I am truly proud to be part of Heroic Melon for many reasons, most recently because of THIS. It’s like raising a child that breastfeeds from 5 heterosexual (for the most part) fathers. Quite an image (:

On to the main point. Even though the HMC is still in its infant stages, we managed to garner a following so numerous it can trample over the Derek Zoolander Center For Kids Who Can’t Read Good And Who Wanna Learn To Do Other Stuff Good Too‘s model.. To that effect we present to you this amazing piece of fan art from xlithiumflowerx aka Kei-chan (that’s what I call her)!!

On behalf of the HMC, we are truly honored and ecstatic to receive this awesome token of appreciation. Go check out her deviatart site HERE! She has other amazing artwork like this Kamen Rider!! How crazy is that?! Also follow her on Twitter KOCHI!

To end off, here’s a little bit of “art” that I did, dedicated to the Heroic Melon Collective (:

I ran out of magnets to make double consonants or innovative Katakana characters, but it still works! (the tail of ‘チ’ could bend a little more..)
