Seeing 2009 (#103)

Pardon, please, for the relatively long absence: the onslaught of the holiday season has commenced. Let the mall parking lot skirmishes begin!

In that vein, perhaps: a submission which offers a juxtaposition of warriors from different eras. On the one hand, a trio battles it out (tough guys ironically well-padded) in a frozen version of an ancient Colosseum, frantically rushing to score . . . while a far larger, heroic figure holds a pose epitomizing confidence, serenity and an apparent disinterest, if not quite disdain, for the chaos and conflicts of modernity. I'm with the statue.


Faceoff, #5098
