About The Artwork

Joker: WHO’S THERE?! Batman: JOKER?! Joker: Wait, the “Knock-Knock” comes first, doesn’t it… shit. Batman: How are you… Joker: Alive? No idea! HAHAHA! How are you alive?! I don’t care! Because you’re here! You came back for me! Oh Bats, I’d hug you right now. I mean, if I wasn’t… You know… Batman: A head in a jar? Joker: Right, a h— waitwhat? I was going to say “manly”. What the hell are you talking about, head in a jar? Batman: …Joker, your body-- Joker: HA! Just yanking your chain, amigo! No audience for ten years, you don’t what’ll land anymore-- Batman: Who did this to you? Joker: The thing is, I can’t remember much… Sand in the oxygen tubes, vulture turds in my brain-blood. Who knows. But I KNOW some things! I must! Just take me with you, and I’ll tell you everything! [KRA-KOOM] SPEED FORCE STORMS. They’re a nightmare around here. You need to find cover. But please, Bats! Please take me with y- Batman: [picks Joker up] Stop talking. Joker: Ha! YES! Look at us. Just like old times! BATMAN and NOGGIN! Am I right?.. Bats?.. Hey, is this thing on? Batman [sigh] This place. I thought if anyone…HE’D somehow still be…I don’t know. Joker: Hey, cheer up. I wrote a poem about Robin. It’s from the heart. It goes like this… Batman: Joker. Joker: A man walks into a doctor’s office with seven toy horses up his ass. “Doc,” he says, “what’s my prognosis?” And the Doc says, “Stable.” Joker: What are you waiting for? Batman: …Nothing. I…Nothing. Joker: Well if you feel we should wait because behind that door might be a death trap that brings down everything--you, me, your friends, the world--then put that thought out of your head. Seriously. Well, go on… Wait wait! Batman: What is it? Joker: I just need a good Robin line for when the doors open. Like “Holy Open Sesame, Batman!” or “Holy Secret Underground Hideout, Batman!” Just give me a second. Batman: [hits button] BEEP Joker: HOLY SHIT, BATMAN! How was that? Joker: It came through the portal just like a bullet. Gleaming, streaking at us. I actually flinched. We all did a bit. Except for him. I always believed this place was about death. About life ending. But that’s not how it felt just then. And then it hit me. This funny thought. Maybe the gun in the alley… maybe it’s a trick gun, like one of mine? Maybe the bullet isn’t an ending, but a prompt, an opening. And I saw it then, the REAL punch line. The gun is a starting gun. The bang is the bang at the start of a race. A race against time, against flesh, against every goddamned thing. Bang goes the bullet. Whistling through the air. Now go, says the Bat. Go. GO! I laughed and turned to him, to tell him…tell him I had a new poem in mind, something profound (using minimal dirty words) about him, about everything…(maybe a moderate amount of dirty words)…But he was already looking ahead…at the rocket door opening, and the boy in the alley. And right then, I knew. Knew that I’d alreay said everything I needed to say. from Batman: Last Knight on Earth (2020) by Scott Snyder (American Vampire) and Greg Capullo (We Have Demons).

 Batman is a superhero who appears in American comic books published by DC Comics. Batman was created by artist Bob Kane and writer Bill Finger, and debuted in the 27th issue of the comic book Detective Comics on March 30, 1939. In the DC Universe continuity, Batman is the alias of Bruce Wayne, a wealthy American playboy, philanthropist, and owner of Wayne Enterprises based in Gotham City. Kane, Finger, and future DC writers accompanied Batman with supporting characters, including his sidekick Robin, allies Alfred Pennyworth and James Gordon, and foes such as Catwoman, the Scarecrow, the Penguin, and his archenemy, the Joker. Batman's origin story features him swearing vengeance against criminals after witnessing the murder of his parents Thomas and Martha; he trains himself physically and intellectually, crafts a bat-inspiredpersona, and monitors the Gotham streets at night. Kane conceived Batman in early 1939 to capitalize on the popularity of DC's Superman; although Kane frequently claimed sole creation credit, Finger substantially developed the concept from a generic superhero into something more bat-like. The character received his own spin-off publication, Batman, in 1940. Batman was originally introduced as a ruthless vigilante who frequently killed or maimed criminals, but evolved into a character with a stringent moral code and strong sense of justice. Unlike most superheroes, Batman does not possess any superpowers, instead relying on his intellect, fighting skills, and wealth. The 1960s Batman television series used a camp aesthetic, which continued to be associated with the character for years after the show ended. Various creators worked to return the character to his darker roots in the 1970s and 1980s, culminating with the 1986 miniseries The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller. DC has featured Batman in many comic books, including comics published under its imprints such as Vertigo and Black Label. The longest-running Batman comic, Detective Comics, is the longest-running comic book in the United States. Batman is frequently depicted alongside other DC superheroes, such as Superman and Wonder Woman, as a member of organizations such as the Justice League and the Outsiders. In addition to Bruce Wayne, other characters have taken on the Batman persona on different occasions, such as Jean-Paul Valley / Azrael in the 1993–1994 "Knightfall" story arc and Dick Grayson, the first Robin, for a three-year period from 2009 to 2011. DC has also published comics featuring alternate versions of Batman, including the incarnation seen in The Dark Knight Returns and its successors, the incarnation from the Flashpoint (2011) event, and numerous interpretations from Elseworlds stories. One of the most iconic characters in popular culture, Batman has been listed among the greatest comic book superheroes and fictional characters ever created. He is one of the most commercially successful superheroes, and his likeness has been licensed and featured in various media and merchandise sold around the world; this includes toy lines such as Lego Batmanand video games like the Batman: Arkham series. Batman has been adapted in live-action and animated incarnations, including the 1960s Batman television series played by Adam West and in films by Michael Keaton in Batman (1989) and Batman Returns (1992), Christian Bale in The Dark Knight Trilogy (2005–2012), and Ben Affleck in the DC Extended Universe(2016–present). Kevin Conroy, Jason O'Mara, and Will Arnett, among others, have provided the character's voice. 
 
 The Joker is a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. The Joker was created by Bill Finger, Bob Kane, and Jerry Robinson, and first appeared in the debut issue of the comic book Batman on April 25, 1940. Credit for the Joker's creation is disputed; Kane and Robinson claimed responsibility for the Joker's design while acknowledging Finger's writing contribution. Although the Joker was planned to be killed off during his initial appearance, he was spared by editorial intervention, allowing the character to endure as the archenemy of the superhero Batman. In his comic book appearances, the Joker is portrayed as a criminal mastermind. Introduced as a psychopath with a warped, sadistic sense of humor, the character became a goofy prankster in the late 1950s in response to regulation by the Comics Code Authority, before returning to his darker roots during the early 1970s. As Batman's nemesis, the Joker has been part of the superhero's defining stories, including the murder of Jason Todd—the second Robin and Batman's ward—and the paralysis of one of Batman's allies, Barbara Gordon. The Joker has had various possible origin stories during his decades of appearances. The most common story involves him falling into a tank of chemical waste that bleaches his skin white and turns his hair green and lips bright red; the resulting disfigurement drives him insane. The antithesis of Batman in personality and appearance, the Joker is considered by critics to be his perfect adversary. The Joker possesses no superhuman abilities, instead using his expertise in chemical engineering to develop poisonous or lethal concoctions and thematic weaponry, including razor-tipped playing cards, deadly joy buzzers, and acid-spraying lapel flowers. The Joker sometimes works with other Gotham City supervillains, such as the Penguin and Two-Face, and groups like the Injustice Gang and Injustice League, but these relationships often collapse due to the Joker's desire for unbridled chaos. The 1990s introduced a romantic interest for the Joker in his former psychiatrist, Harley Quinn, who became his villainous sidekick and later escaped an abusive relationship with him. Although his primary obsession is Batman, the Joker has also fought other heroes, including Superman and Wonder Woman. One of the most iconic characters in popular culture, the Joker has been listed among the greatest comic book villains and fictional characters ever created. The character's popularity has seen him appear on a variety of merchandise, such as clothing and collectible items, inspire real-world structures (such as theme park attractions), and be referenced in a number of media. The Joker has been adapted in live-action, animated, and video game incarnations, including the 1960s Batman television series played by Cesar Romero and in films by Jack Nicholsonin Batman (1989), Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight (2008), Jared Leto in the DC Extended Universe (2016–present), and Joaquin Phoenix in Joker (2019); Ledger and Phoenix each earned an Academy Award for their portrayals. Mark Hamill and others have provided the character's voice ranging from animation to video games.

I’m (I am?) a self-taught artist, originally from the north suburbs of Chicago (also known as John Hughes' America). Born in 1984, I started painting in 2017 and began to take it somewhat seriously in 2019. I currently reside in rural Montana and live a secluded life with my three dogs - Pebbles (a.k.a. Jaws, Brandy, Fang), Bam Bam (a.k.a. Scrat, Dinki-Di, Trash Panda, Dug), and Mystique (a.k.a. Lady), and five cats - Burglekutt (a.k.a. Ghostmouse Makah), Vohnkar! (a.k.a. Storm Shadow, Grogu), Falkor (a.k.a. Moro, The Mummy's Kryptonite, Wendigo, BFC), Nibbler (a.k.a. Cobblepot), and Meegosh (a.k.a. Lenny). Part of the preface to the 'Complete Works of Emily Dickinson helps sum me up as a person and an artist: "The verses of Emily Dickinson belong emphatically to what Emerson long since called ‘the Poetry of the Portfolio,’ something produced absolutely without the thought of publication, and solely by way of expression of the writer's own mind. Such verse must inevitably forfeit whatever advantage lies in the discipline of public criticism and the enforced conformity to accepted ways. On the other hand, it may often gain something through the habit of freedom and unconventional utterance of daring thoughts. In the case of the present author, there was no choice in the matter; she must write thus, or not at all. A recluse by temperament and habit, literally spending years without settling her foot beyond the doorstep, and many more years during which her walks were strictly limited to her father's grounds, she habitually concealed her mind, like her person, from all but a few friends; and it was with great difficulty that she was persuaded to print during her lifetime, three or four poems. Yet she wrote verses in great abundance; and though brought curiosity indifferent to all conventional rules, had yet a rigorous literary standard of her own, and often altered a word many times to suit an ear which had its own tenacious fastidiousness." -Thomas Wentworth Higginson "Not bad... you say this is your first lesson?" "Yes, but my father was an *art collector*, so…"
