Mel Gibson: Boozing With Beelzebub
What better way to celebrate Halloween than to feature the year's scariest tabloid monster! Cranky old Mel Gibson was set loose one night after a vodka-fueled night of debauchery in a popular Malibu watering hole. Weaving recklessly around the hairpin curves of the Pacific Coast Highway, cops quickly pulled him over. Reeking of alcohol and wild-eyed, Mel stumbled out of his car and launched into one of those typical "do you know who I @%*&# am?!!?" tantrums so often witnessed in the Los Angeles area. He slurred on and began insulting the cops with hateful racial and sexual epithets and soon found himself in jail. Mel has since offered a public apology and is meeting with various Jewish communities to aid in his "journey to recovery". His sordid story combined with our obsession with vintage sci-fi and horror pulp fiction novels inspires today's post. Medium: Graphite and ink on paper, digital color/layout. Pulp title by Holly Aguirre.
UPDATE: This image of Mel appeared on the E! Channel's Daily 10 on Nov. 1. Thanks E!
Holy Cow! This made me snort my coffee this morning! Yet again, wonderful work!

Ignatz beat me to it. My first thought when I saw this was: Is 14 going to pay my dry cleaning bill or replace my keyboard? -- as I spit coffee all over myself and my desk.
You've officially made my Halloween. I'll be drinking champagne from a hoof this evening and toasting you, 14! Thanks for the laughs.

You're brilliant. Don't think I didn't notice the wafting aroma. Looks surprisingly like sugar-t*ts.

Its a bummer about Mel, I liked his movies but there's just no way I could watch any of them anymore given what a hateful scumbag he is.
Which, by the way, you've captured quite nicely!

Well, isn't that SPECIAL! So perfect for the pagan holiday! The cross around his neck is so perfect to remind us all of the high ground he was standing on a few short years ago. An ironic token , when worn by Mr.Satan.
Beautiful job.

God this made me laugh! This is so fabulous 14? Are you going to sell it? God this is too funny! I am fucking speechless. I love his sneer, the evil eyes, the 666 proof Jesus Fish vodka and the chipped pointy nails!

Gorgeous. The truth comes out! What a dick.

Shalom, I am Jewish, and thank you for this. I enjoy every detail of your drawings- and if I ever become famous, you can mock me any day.
Happy Halloween,

Tequila, wasn't it?

God is that gorgeous. I'd love it on my wall.
For your next masterpiece how about one with Pee-wee Herman? I hear he's opening a daycare center, bwa-ha-ha-ha! Run kiddies, run!

Was delighted to see your link on Defamer today. Once again, you have nailed your subject perfectly.
On the other hand, now I can't sleep. Terrified. Nice going.

BRILLIANT.

Your entries are always multiple views for me, but normally after the twelfth view or so, I can at least stop laughing/snickering/chortling long enough to function. No luck here. Fourteen views and I still can't stop snickering. The details are staggering: Just thinking about that little hairy-ass wart on his right middle finger has me chuckling right now.
Gotta look again. Ah, a day's work shot to shit...
The last time I laughed this hard involved a gram of Thai Creep-Weed and a View Master on a Friday night.

He might be mentally challenged and an alcoholic, but at least he let us know how he really feels. Go to hell, Mel.

Woah, great job once again 14! Those eyes are too creepy; your attention to detail is amazing.

I wonder if anyone tried a Mel-oween costume, you know fake beard, vodka stained shirt, you abuse kids in cop costumes. If you get short changed on the candy you blame the Jews etc.

WOW - You have really outdone yourself with this one ! I've been a fan for awhile, but this is the first time I've posted a comment. Your artistic talent and attention to every detail is just fantastic! Love the 666's on the bottle and I love the evil look in Mel's eyes. Downright scary if you look at it too long !

YOU SHOULD BLASPHEME A SAINTED MAN SUCH AS MEL.

I have a minor in studio art (from a long time ago). You've inspired me to start creating again, but I could never come even remotely close! You're consistently awesome. Go girl!!!!

I just noticed this and I don't know if I'm looking too much into things. Is that a shadow under his nose, or does he have a tiny Hitler mustache? I'm even more frightened now...

If Mel Gisbon had made anti-arab remarks, no one would have blinked an eye.
Posted by: Anonymouse | November 09, 2006 at 05:30 AM
well if he had made an anti-arab remarks, he would already be dead. even in his drunken state he was careful to direct his hatred to the jews, but he looks like he has an issue with the whole human race.
Posted by: emi | November 10, 2006 at 02:56 AM
Oh 14- I love how your images have turned into some kind of political debate. These kind of debates are my forte, but where I come from people are much less respectful. I admire you for showing all the comments- even the ones that turned it into something it wasn't, and now I hope I'm not thorwing fuel onto the fire by participating. I'm sorry. I can't resist. Take care, looking forward to your next devious creation.
Posted by: Kai | November 10, 2006 at 12:42 PM
Brilliant!

Yeah I'm Christian but I'm not at all a fan of this guy not even when he made Passion of the Christ (I did think it was a good movie interpritation of the crucifiction of Jesus). Mel always came off as looking down on others. I'm in high school and in 8th grade (2005) Jim Cavizell who played Jesus came to school and gave this really weird speech about how he had a big conversion and stuff and it was all pretty blah until he said that he almost died during the shooting of the cross scene because he wasn't able to stay restrained for like 7 hours and he started acting all trippy. He also screamed the Lord's Prayer after which freaked lots of people out. My exact thoughts were Mel Gibson made this guy go Kookoo McBalls-n-nutz.
Well anyway I read Mel's remarks and I'm disgusted that he would say such horrible things, about the Jewish religion that is (I genuinly respect the religion). But I thought the sugar-tits comment was funny. I sure hope he does something to apologize because I doubt that he's got any people backing him up.
