Tried a bunch of new techniques on this, then totally couldn't decide on a background. Also realized that tree branches don't point down. XD much.

I really like this image. It shows J'Onn in a very pensive mood. He does have a great deal to think about, as he has faced great tragedies. In such ways, J'Onn seems to be much more of a thinking man's hero than many others. We all have tragedies and losses but the question is how do we come through them.
By the way, Frank, I am helping a friend at my synagogue with a presentation on superheroes and their creators. J'Onn with his struggles with Ma'alefa'ak recalls several tales including Jacob and Esau. Indeed, J'Onn seems to struggle with other Martians who reject the values of the culture that he remembers. So, if you have any links that you can think of for my friend, let me know.
Frank, I remember that there was a great profile of J'Onn a few years back. Where did it run?
Will, I wish you'd asked me a few years ago when my head was better wired for both John Jones and Judaism on recall. I'll try to dig around and see what I can find...
Thanks!!! My friend gives his talk next week.
