Be A Super Hero!!! ... to the Blank Station

I have such a soft spot in my heart for Blankman

As a kid, my family wasn't rich, and I obsessed about the 1966 Batman tv show (the sci-fi channel played it in the mornings before school started). But when Blankman came to theaters, i was watching an average person try to be super hero without Batman's millions, and it was awesome! Damon Wayans brings the character of Blankman to life in a relatable positive light, as Blankman just wants to make a difference.

If you haven't watched Blankman, i strongly recommend you rent it on iTunes or Netflix. It's hysterical and pays its respect to the classic Batman tv series that came before it. Did I mention how funny this movie is? (when Blankman screams like a girl after getting slapped still gets me every time).

After watching the movie this month, I got to doodling, and what was going to be a quick little sketch turned into a full illustration. Eventually, I ha a full fledge poster layout full of 60's pop colors. It wasn't until last night that I realized in August it was the 20th anniversary oof the movie!  What a crazy coincidence and really happy at the turn of events!

Hope you all like it!

Beware...The Gray Ghost!!! Batman Animated

I drew this a while ago, always loved the Batman Animated Series growing up. One episode in particular comes to mind, where Batman meets one of his childhood idols, the Gray Ghost. In a scene, the camera pans to his collection of memorabilia and you can see a poster of "The Gray Ghost" on the wall.

I loved the idea of Batman having his own nerdy collection of the Gray ghost, someone he admired in his childhood, inside the batcave. It's only seen for i think 2 seconds, but it was very well done in the animation and I thought it would be neat to have as a print to give Mr Conroy as a present. Im going to bring some to NYCC and hopefully get Kevin Conroy sign it for me. Hope you all like it.

* done in digital watercolors to give it that animated style painted look. :-)


EDIT*

Happy to report I was able to give one of these prints to Kevin Conroy to keep at a panel at the NYCC. I was so glad he mentioned the character earlier in the panel, and he seemed surprised to see the drawing after the panel of the gray ghost. really really nice guy. I was happy so much fun and I was able to get my personal copy signed.
