MARK ROMANOSKI is a very impressive artist, having studied under Peter Caras, a Norman Rockwell protege, as well as having being an assistant to Tim and Greg Hildebrandt. Romanoski has produced multiple images for private collectors, Batman, Marvel and Fantasy art.

I find this piece just magnificent in the technique, at the same time hilarious in the theme.  A parody of one of Norman Rockwell’s most famous paintings (see below), Joker basically pays a visit to Rockwell’s studio and takes care of business in his usual murderous way, but being the clown he is, he decides to show off his talent at the canvas before leaving the scene. The piece has been exhibited at the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art.  Please click below if you like it and leave me your opinion…
