Description

This one hits hard�in tone, composition, and attitude.

I�ve always admired Jason Pearson�s Body Bags. His bold, brutal style made Panda and Mack unforgettable, and losing him left a real void in the comic art world. But this tribute by Alex Owens channels that same raw, high-impact energy in a way that feels truly fitting.

Panda sits perched on Mack�s shoulders like it�s the most natural place in the world�machine gun in her right hand, casually throwing a thumbs down with her left. The dynamic is pure Pearson: chaotic, cocky, and just plain cool. The inking, contrast, and movement are all top-tier, and the composition is loaded with character.

Huge thanks to Alex for honoring these two with such a powerful piece. This one�s staying in the forever pile.

Huge thanks to Bill Cox for featuring �Thumbs Down, Barrel Up� in this week�s Best Art of the Week video�what an honor!

Endless appreciation to MGA Art for coordinating the commission and helping bring this pairing to life. Panda Delgado and Mack don�t mess around�and neither did the artist. We were blown away by the final result and are truly grateful to be part of a collecting community that celebrates work like this.

More to come. Stay dangerous.
