Hey gang,

DC BLOGS have been nice enough to get us a page of finished interior art as well as the creative process from CHIP KIDD’s graphic novel DEATH BY DESIGN.  The GN is due in May 2, but here you can start enjoying Kidd’s Joker art. This is what CBR says:

Set during the construction and development of Gotham City and influenced by architectural design of the 1930s, the graphic novel showcases the process of building not only a city, but also a hero and a villain. Now, via its blog, The Source, DC has revealed a first look at the steps of Dave Tayor’s artistic process from sketches to finished artwork.

Hey Jokerholics.

I just was browsing for some research for the JOKER MUSEUM and accidentally found this Joker-Harley kit….and my jaw dropped.  It’s Alex Ross’ famous TANGO WITH EVIL! The statue is a commission made in 2007 and the artist is Erick Sosa.  It was posted by HERE BE MONSTERS at www.statueforum.com.  It is just amazing and don’t know if there are any kits available for sale but if there are…I need to get myself one so if anyone is selling, please contact me to talk some business.

In the meantime,  look at the amazing work on this piece…

This is my first post of the new year.  I hope every single Jokerholic in this world had a wonderful holiday season and that the year ahead is filled with wonderful joys and dreams come true.

Personally, reflecting on the past year, it’s been kind of rough on me.  Trying to balance my work as a veterinarian, my father’s sickness and the other businesses that have kept me away at times from what I love doing most, like this site or writing more Joker has been really tough.  But here I am, and I will be bringing you all those wonderful Joker news you’ve enjoyed this past year all through 2012 as well.

For those of you wondering, I have not gone away.  I’m just posting slightly less often so I have a chance to revamp this site a litte more.  Make it more…chaotic and fun, just for you all.  New surprises are on their way, new additions, content modification, maybe even some contests, and hopefully more interaction with my friends and the fans of this site.  I love hearing from you all in case you need to know. For now, you just sit back and relax.  It will all come in due time.

The first thing of order was to re-structure the Joker museum.  It had become a really disorganized list of … stuff.  I’m working right now in the new wings of the museum, putting things where they belong;  grouping items, gathering history, so you all can find what you want and enjoy the content.

I am also expanding the picture collection.  Some of us like the BTAS Joker, others like TDK, others like the older Joker.  Well, I hope to have a decent collection of pics from all the existing Jokers posted up soon.  So far, BTAS and TDK are almost done and are up, so please take a look and enjoy.

The list of other new things I have planned for the site is long and tedious, so I am not going to bore you all with itat the moment.  Just hope you will enjoy them as they come and PLEASE…I ANY OF YOU JOKERHOLICS HAS AN IDEA TO COLABORATE TO IMPROVE THE SITE, PLEASE SHARE IT.  We’ll all benefit from each others idea.

RIGHT NOW, PLEASE KEEP VISITING WHILE WE’RE IMPROVING and HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!
