The 2010 MID-OHIO-CON program guide actually had a variant sketch cover with the surrounding border art drawn by me! Here’s one with an original Batman sketch.

I thought it might be a good time to share some holiday art from the last couple years.

Another Batman sketch this week! Not his finest moment…

It’s the Dark Knight, the Caped Crusader, the BATMAN!

As Comic Con International 2012 kicks off this evening with its preview night in San Diego (find me at Artist Alley table FF-17), I thought it would be appropriate to share a fun sketch from last year’s Comic Con. Tony Guerrero, an alternate G-Man from the Comic Vine universe, asked me to draw Batman with a broom. You may recognize Batman’s broom-riding style if you’ve read G-MAN, volume 2: CAPE CRISIS.
Tony actually asked a bunch of artists in artist alley to draw Batman with a broom. AND Tony recorded the creation of each of these sketches and put them all together in one great video (click here to watch)! Even though I draw quite a bit, I’m still fascinated by watching other artists draw, especially when they’re as awesome as Dennis Calero, Dustin Nguyen, Francis Manapul, Joel Gomez, and Peter Nguyen!

I look forward to seeing Tony and the Comic Vine crew again this weekend in San Diego!
Hey, as long as we’re talking about the Guerrero G-Man, how about a bonus sketch – worlds collide as my G-Man meets the Comic Vine’s Guerrero G-Man!

This week’s tribute comes not from a classic cover, but from an iconic panel drawn by Brian Bolland in THE KILLING JOKE, a Batman story written by Alan Moore and drawn by Bolland. Along with Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ THE WATCHMEN and Frank Miller’s DARK KNIGHT RETURNS, THE KILLING JOKE helped define an era in the late ’80s when superhero comic books began taking on a darker, more serious tone, and Batgirl has not been quite the same since (sort of).

Why so serious?
