Odd Thomas

Pencil and Water-soluble Pencil/Graphitone on Paper
July 2013
(Forgive me guys it's my first time using a water-souble pencil so it's a bit trial and error)

The reason I created this artwork is to support my favorite book series Odd Thomas. This story/movie is so underrated. It deserves more. So please if you're not familiar with the book or movie I hope you'll write this one on your bucket list. Thank you. It meant so much.

My favorite book series "Odd Thomas" by Dean Koontz finally made it to the big screen after the tragic lawsuit. I've been waiting for this movie for years (almost 3 years) and it was a birthday gift. After my birthday it finally hit its theater release (limited for one day) here in my country and of course I didn't missed it.

I'm an oddie fan so I can't help to be a critic at first, but I saw the film three times before watching it to the big screen, and thank you Stephen Sommers cos I cried every time I watch it. Every time. Amazing Actors, awesome scripts, brilliant actions, beautiful scenes. Anton Yelchin is a PERFECT ODD and Stormy is perfectly beautiful. I really felt their (Oddie-Stormy) love. Sad to see that Elvis was just a card board but at least Imhotep.. I mean Tom Jedd is hilarious... I love it.... For the critics I just want to say for a LOW BUDGET FILM This movie was Perfectly done. Even Dean Koontz loved it, which is the first time he ever love a movie adaptations from his book.

Dean Koontz Review:
It is so wonderful that I am whacked flat by happiness. It makes no missteps, races forward with unrelenting momentum, is gripping, and has great heart, and even has an excellent score! It is a totally fresh wind in the genres upon which it touches, and we felt that we were seeing one of those rare productions with the potential to dramatically alter how other filmmakers approach such movies in the future....
I’ll admit to being skeptical. But once you see Anton in this, you know you have seen the best of all possible Odds. He is soooo good! This young man is a remarkable talent, and he brings great heart to the role. He handles the action scenes with tremendous energy and conviction, but he really, really shines when it comes to selling the love story, the emotion, as well as Odd’s humility and sweet nature.
There’s probably a law against being as happy as I am right now. -Dean Koontz


I love this story because of its humor, passion, and the fight of the good fight, a fight between Good and Evil. It's about Love and Sacrifices, Hope and Courage and of course like Oddie used to say "Perseverance". (Stormy Life's Philosophy) This life is just a boot camp and we must persevere for the tests and rewards of the next life to come.

PS. Rest In Peace Anton T.T You are my ‪Forever Odd.‬ Anton Yelchin's shocking sudden death is still not sinking in. At the age of 27? Gone too soon.... oh... Oddie... T.T ‪ ‎brokenhearted‬ & devastated. I refuse to believe... but this is just a boot camp anyway go be with ‪Stormy‬ You are destines to be together forever. I know you're in much better place now Anton. Let the light guide your way home.‬ If I rewatch the film again this time my tears is not gonna be for Stormy it'll be for Odd for Anton...
