(painting) Another Painting For Mr. Fuks Birthday

Last year my roommate Alon was very specific in his birthday artwork request.  This year he gave me no feedback when I asked him about it.  Seeing the he is Jewish and into motorcycles my first idea had him sitting on a chopper spinning the back tire on a Nazi's head while blowing more away with a machine gun, there might have been a sexy lady on the back of the bike.
As I started to sketch that idea out a conversation we had before Christmas flooded back to me.  "You know what you should paint me, Deadpool and Wolverine, you know from marvel comics.  But I want Deadpool holding up Wolverines head after a crazy fight or something."  I had already gotten him a gift, and was thinking of breaking it into 8 pieces to get into the Chanukah spirit.  So I told him it was too late and then completely forgot the request.  That is until I was sketching his present.
I turned the page and began loosely laying out the image.  The next thing I know he is saying goodbye off to New Orleans for a week.  Now i had enough time not only to paint the painting but frame it, wrap it in a ribbon, and have it waiting for him when he walked in the door.
