It is indeed the Joker! It's from a more than a decade old painting by Bisley I think, but I don't have it anymore nor I know where to find it unfortunately...

And yeah, Lobo is the man... The Main Man!


Thanks for all the favorites!

My pleasure, your artwork is fabulous- of course I'll favorite it!  Especially The Joker... also The Main Man!  I think I have the book from which your icon is, in my "library", it's a Lobo/Joker /Batman crossover, where Snoogerface®™ (The Joker) Puts a hit on Batsy ala 'Bo.  I think... The art is classic Bisely style anyway.

If you'd like the cover scanned, I could do that. ^_^
Nice speaking to you, it's nice to talk to an artist who is not a snoot. *lol* 
Best Wishes!

Aww, thanks a lot for the kind words!
As for the image this icon is taken from, I perfectly see the comic you are talking about, I also have it on my shelves But sadly it's not from that, it's from a an image that is a lot older... And I just can't find it anymore. oh well!

Man, that sucks... I would love to see that picture! I have a soft spot for Bisely's work and being a Joker Fangirl (Fanctic), it would be so cool to see how Biz drew him.
If you ever find that old image, you must show me! - Politely of course... so, Please?

Ha! Well that was totally unexpected! Aren't you the good samaritan or something eventhough I am not actively seeking anything, I am really sensitive to the fact that you dig my work enough to try and have more people exposed to it. And of course I have nothing against it.

I am curious to know more about this blog though. What is it?

Anyway, thank you for the renewed interest and the kind effort. really appreciate it

I don't know much of anything about it. I think the person who writes it is a girl and it is exclusively dedicated to comic books and things which revolve around comic books.

I've read the sum total of one article the girl (again, I think...) has written, which was a piece on the lacking non-black minority superheroes in the major comic publishing world.

She used a picture of Apache Chief from the Superfriends, and so I reminded her that the same Challenge of the Superfriends spin-off from which she took the big chief featured, absent Black Vulcan, since black heroes were off topic, Samurai (more like Samurawesome), El Dorado, Superman (if one creates a hero in their own image, albeit the handsomely distorted image of themselves, Superman is a Jew), a half Mexican Wonder Woman (Lynda Carter...still the prototype for that character, and still what makes it impossible for anyone else to play the role), Aquagay, and if the Wonder Twins aren't Asian, it's simply because all the people on their home planet are Asian...and then I listed some others.

Her comment back was interesting, so I made one back (you gotta realize, with the exception of picking up a TMNT #1 by accident a couple weeks ago in a stack of a few other books I got for free, I haven't opened a comic book in years, nor read one online, so for her to pique my interest with talk of comics was not too shabby).

Then she wrote...then I did...

Like I said, she was overall interesting enough, and the one thing I knew about her was that she liked comic books, though somewhat cool, esoteric aspects of them, so truly as an afterthought, I shot her one of your pics and said that I thought you were amazing and that she might dig on you as well, and that I was quite sure that she hadn't seen your stuff before because no one, basically, has (or, perhaps a few have, but I doubt that any of them know you by a consistent moniker).

I didn't say all of that, though...just that you put some cool shit together and that you were outside the industry (I also said that I was not your sock puppet and that she was free to see my shitty dA page, but that it was hardly worth anyone's time...because I know a lot of people will pull that kind of crap to promote themselves).

Apparently she liked what she saw.

You were an afterthought, man...I wasn't tryin' to push you out to the public at large...just conversed with someone who seemed cool enough, so I let her in on the little secret that was you.

I truly thought that would be the last I spoke to the girl and that would be that.

Anyway, if ya wanna check out the blog, here ya go:

(with the name Dick Queen, essentially, gay or female is all I got to go on, but in conversation, it felt like a girl.)

Good luck,

Your favorite stalker,

Me

Thanks man, it feels good to be back! I had a lot of stuff going on, seems like I'm going to be able to concentrate on personal art again a little.

Haha, thanks! The first and foremost reason why you don't see any commission from "the major publishers" is that I've never submitted anything to them, makes it kind of hard for them to pick up my work, not that they necessarily would.
I'm working in an other field of art right now, but who knows what future will bring!

As for the style thing, I agree with you, but this has more to do with the colors that with my lines as far as I realize; it will all come in due time.
Thanks again for the comment!

No, I'm sayin', if art for the sake of art is the goal, then what you're doing will, in the end (I have to believe), make for the best art. If the field you're in now doesn't work out and you enjoy comic characters (can I still call them comic books, or is that not PC now?), then having a distinctive style that people can quickly recognize from a glance of a cover is the way to go.

Artists gotta eat, too...sometimes art for the sake of art leaves you with an empty belly.

Anyway, you're amazing....kinda a mix between Jim Lee and Jai Lee (the latter being my fave comic book artist of all time). Cheers.

Man, really thank you for your words, they feel good, and I kind of needed something like that right now Even if I'm not sure I see the Lees in me

I made a few typos in my former message. What I meant was that I agree with you, a distinctive style is important. I feel like right now in my lines I'm not going all over the place, that it's mostly in my color work. Which all in all shouldn't be an issue if I ever went into comic books (yeah, it's still damn acceptable, and eff PC). I draw like I draw, there isn't much more to it than that. Sometimes I go more cartoony, but it's still my lines. My colors are another beast, since I kind of go back and forth between different approaches, depending on what's needed, making it more difficult to track me down. But for the moment, I'm not really bothered by that, I'm just doing my thing, trying things, and when I'll be satisfied, I guess I'll settle for something, eventhough art is a constant learning process

Cheers.
