Description I’m so glad Heath Ledger won a Golden Globe for his performance in The Dark Knight. I’m sure he’d be smiling up there right now.
The words of Chris Nolan- “He’ll be sadly missed but he will never be forgotten”.

This idea has been mulling around in my head for a while. I wanted a real tribute, and him winning this award means so much to so many people around the world.
Due to the rather seemingly upsetting turn of events this week, I managed to pull this one out of the hat. Not entirely happy with it. Parts still irk me abut his face, it was a difficult angle, but it’s out of my system now and I feel better about myself too. Maybe things will start to look up for me now. Who knows.

I hope it does.

I think that was the best thing that has ever come out of the movies - to give that award to Heath. He totally deserved it and brought a life to the joker I didn't think possible. Jack did a good job but Heath blew it out of the water ^^ I love this picture. Thanks for drawing it ^^

No probalem, I was planning on doing an Oscar one as well but I never got around to it. Do you think now is too late?

There is a saying 'better late then never' I don't think at any time would be to late to give heath his dues where they belong ^^

Wow, that's very poignant and quite beautiful. A great idea and marvellous execution. Perhaps one of Heath the Angel holding his Oscar next?

Aw thank you. Yes it was a tragic shame. I need to creat more Joker art next year. Maybe I will get inspiration whilst on my New Year break!
