I can’t since Joker belongs to D.C comics.

Naaahhh, that’s not the Joker, it’s your uncle Earl, right!? No copyright issues there. :)

F’ing brilliant man. (I mean you, not your uncle Earl…)

Do you get many offers do to Marvel / DC / etc comics?
I can’t see any reason you shouldn’t be getting them.

Surprising. With your level of skill, you’d think you would get offers out the wazoo.

Maybe you should throw together a comic-booking portfolio full of a bit more of this stuff and start sending it in?

Reminds me a bit of the George Pratt take on batman. His was really gritty and dark too, only I think he worked in watercolor and oil. (I like your lineart better tho. His was kina bleh.)

thanks for the suggestion, but I’m not looking for any work from D.C/Marvel.

Heh. I can respect that. The comic booker slave life isn’t exactly charming. Freelance and gaming work are a lot more interesting to me too. Still… I’d love to see a whole comic done in that style.

Actually, I guess a better question is, do you WANT to be getting offers from those guys? Not everyone thinks they are a step up.

Yeah! We need more homicidal, psychopathic egomaniacs with a taste for WMDs running around on our streets!

Otherwise, excellent drawing!

Yeah have to agree with NekoShogun here, your work is amazing. They are missing out on the Talent you have. Course then you would be part of a major group and everything you do would be critiqued beyond compare & then shot down half the time. So on the good side of all this. We still love you and will continue to wait like school children who are waiting for their candy.

Looks a lot like how I imagine Heath Ledger will look playing Mr. J in the Dark Knight. Any direct take off Heath or the crazy teaser pic they posted earlier?

The Dark Knight teaser trailer dropped, you’ve probably seen it, but if not you should run it down.

Ledger’s few spoken lines in it convinced me that he’s going to be playing it psycho-killer with just enough Nicholson in his tone.

( http://www.whysoserious.com/ click the tiny box next to the word “Handed” to begin the trailer.)

Holy mother of Pearl! Joker! Love It!
Inccidentally, I have been an avid fan since the get go, and I love your work, abolutly great. But I due hate you, you have more artistic talent in one finger than I have in my body… :)

awesome. some of the drawing and inking (especially the face) make me think of Olivier Ledroit’s work (here some examples, sorry it’s in french but drawings speak by themselves don’t they ? : http://www.danielmaghen.com/DM/books/ledroit/ledroit_book.html http://www.bd-planchesoriginales.com/Default.asp?Action=Editions&AuthorId=68 )
