Far be it from me to turn down Schadenfriend Andrew DeWitt’s offer to paint me into a scene from any movie. Especially when I can be Mike Donavan from V. For the uninitiated, DeWitt was a regular fixture in Schad’s rent parties before moving to LA, where he’s currently doing stand-up and freelancing as a part-time “Heyyy, bro, I’ll paint you as a Biker Scout if you wannabe a Biker Scout” kinda guy. He’s doing this stuff instead of temping and he’s engaged to Tammy and they’re getting ready to pay for their wedding so we all need to step-up and help DeWitt follow his dream to not play by the rules and eke out a living painting friends into scenes from cool movies. Witt, I think you should get yourself painted as Buzzsaw from The Running Man. Stephe, you should be Alex Rogan from The Last Starfighter, Justin you are probably best suited to be Billy from Predator and Kate, you should get yourself painted as Starbuck from Battlestar. President Obama is talking about creating jobs, guys — and DeWitt is ahead of his time so everyone order up and get yourself one of these.
Formed in 1997, Schad began performing sketch comedy on Chicago’s north side. The troupe has since performed at countless venues around the world including The Goodman Theatre, The Second City, Steppenwolf, Lollapalooza, ImprovOlympic, the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre (LA), HERE (NYC) and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

What.
Wow. Coolest thing I’ve seen this year so far. Justin = Billy from Predator is perfect – just get him in the scene where he’s carving up his chest with his machete.
Fred! You should be MacReady from The Thing! DeWitt, post your email and let’s get this done!
Yeah dudes!! This is a cottage industry of stupidity. I make my rent this way. Email me, dewidiot@gmail.com and we can talk about what pop culture absurdity you want to be in. Here’s my pitch:
If you have ever wanted to see yourself on a movie poster doing what you wish you did, email me.
I can make you one of the 3 Storms in Big Trouble in Little China.
You can be riding a bicycle built for two with Red Sonya.
How bout you fighting a Gremlin to death in your own kitchen?
Perhaps you would like to wear the jeweled crown of Aqualonia upon a troubled brow…
Or maybe you’ve always wanted to be a member of The Warriors.
All these dreams and more can come true…
Check out my website (www.andrewdewitt.net) for more of the work I’ve done. I have barbarians fighting in the show, airship battles with dragons, fantasy cityscapes, Dan Telfer trying to summon Cthulu…
Strange Merchant: What’s your pleasure, sir?
Sandy. YES. YES. YES.
And how’s about Don Hall in the famous “Citizen Kane” campaign shot?
I love this painting Sandy! Awesome idea. I’m in, but what to do? Tron or Rambo, I’ve watched a lot of Rambo lately. I’ll catch the show next Friday, Andrew, I’ll render my verdict then. Jim from Oxford needs one of him as Snake Plissken, that’s all I know.
Could you do Witt as Kunta Kinte as the T-1000?
The T-1000 posing as Kunte Kinte, clever camoflage. Clever girl.
Maybe just some super super random character. Cobb from Crimson Tide, the nerd ED-209 kills in Robocop.
Get on a jump on the 2009 characters – Sandy/Storm Shadow, Stephe/Rorschach, Adam/Deadpool, Kate/John Connor, Justin/Starscream. (Great Jurassic Park reference BTW).
Yeah dudes. Adamn, I am awesome at drawing Tron shit, btw and you would look dope as fuck in a disc duel.
Adam has no n in it.
Tron! That’d be a great one. DeWitt, I’m gonna call you, my bro is getting one for sure.
