I know that I’m a little behind posting on this blog, but I’m preparing some new departments, revamping the museum, writing some and then keeping my full time veterinary job and personal matters….WHEEW! I wish I could juggle all these better, but fear not…

Here are the regular art posts again!!

This one I really don’t remember when I got it, but it was posted in COMIC ART FANS.  The pencils are rendered by Spanish artist OSCAR JIMENEZ (Flash, JLA and Chronicles of Wormwood: the Last Battle among others) and colors are by Rafael Sandoval.  I personally like the piece because it presents a Joker doing what he likes most:  PLAYING WITH HIS TOYS.

Instead of presenting a psychotic Joker shedding blood around him, Jimenez presents the playful side of Joker.  The Clown is somehow being able to turn Batman and Robin against each other and he is rejoicing on it. The Clown Prince of Crime is the ringmaster, great puppeteer tweaking, twisting, and manipulating the world to his demented whim, just to rejoice on the chaos it creates….this is Joker’s essence.

I personally love the theme, and the coloring definitely helps create the mood.  Now, with any more delay…JOKER WITH BATMAN AND ROBIN

It was probably inspired by this BOB KANE piece of art:
