&lt;p&gt;So I got an email at the office the other day from one of the editor’s with a special request  from a fan’s mother:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Hi there -&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt;I am the mom of a super hero mad 4 year old. He lives and breathes super&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt;heroes, he also has been diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt;- mosaic trisomy 22. The good news is that his physical challenges are&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt;workable, he is mentally perfect, and while he will be having a heart&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt;surgery this summer - he is on the mend. The challenge that he will face&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt;for his entire life are his hearing impairments. He has no ear, and a&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt;complete hearing loss on his right side and mild loss on his left. He&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt;currently wears 2 hearing aids.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt;Today as he was getting dressed I was putting on his “Blue Ear,” the aid&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt;he wears on his left ear. He did not want to put it on, he told me super&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt;heroes do not wear blue ears. To get myself out of a bind I told him&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt;that sure they do - in fact Captain  America has one under his mask.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt;After repeated questioning he believed me - but I was wondering&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt;- ay e you have an intern, or someone who would like a challenge - could&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt;you make a little guys day by drawing him a hearing impaired super hero?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt;Thanks for considering this - I am likely to get stuck in your spam&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt;filter - but you never know - have a great day - I am attaching a&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt;picture of Anthony so you can see one of your dedicated customers.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt;Best,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt;Christina&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I jumped at the opportunity, especially for such a great fan! He’s the real HERO!&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://www.mannymederos.com/post/23118612333</link><guid>http://www.mannymederos.com/post/23118612333</guid><pubDate>Tue, 15 May 2012 16:19:00 -0400</pubDate><category>Marvel</category><category>commission</category><category>news</category><category>TheBlueEar</category></item><item><title>AVENGERS 1959 Recap Pages.

&lt;p&gt;These were some recap page designs I did for Marvel’s AVENGERS 1959 issues #2-5. I decided to design a new recap for each issue because Howard’s art is so great and I felt it needed to be highlighted in the beginning of each issue. I really enjoyed working on these.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://www.mannymederos.com/post/20393856193</link><guid>http://www.mannymederos.com/post/20393856193</guid><pubDate>Tue, 03 Apr 2012 00:26:35 -0400</pubDate><category>avengers1959</category><category>marvel</category><category>design</category></item><item><title>I designed this logo for Nick Lowe and the X-Office a while...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1vx4x1NCz1qzni3do1_r1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;I designed this logo for Nick Lowe and the X-Office a while back. Had to be one of the coolest assignments handed to me.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;These were the 6 return cards I asked for, when I worked on the SWG6 card set. The red Boba is probably my favorite of the returns.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://www.mannymederos.com/post/10835323290</link><guid>http://www.mannymederos.com/post/10835323290</guid><pubDate>Thu, 29 Sep 2011 23:16:12 -0400</pubDate><category>Sketch Cards</category><category>SWG6</category><category>Star Wars</category></item><item><title>(Transformers Fan Art 11 x 17”. 2011.

&lt;p&gt;This was a base card I worked on a while back for the Chicagoland Entertainment Collectors Expo. I picked my two favorite things to draw, Cowgirls and Dinosaurs.
