comix4fun comix4fun This is one of the rare times that having no friends works in my favor. TOTAL NEWBIE Registered: 06/30/02 Posts: 8200	Hello Guys, Anyone who knows me knows what kind of intense admirer (read: freak) I am for Brian Bolland and pretty much anything he has created. Well I have reached the collecting equivalent of Nirvana... I posted my art day last week on the comic art list, then after talking to Hari and a couple others realized that I neglected to mention it here. In any case the log jam has been broken, Brian Bolland has done his first commission piece in about a decade, and his first finished pen and ink piece in over 7 years. Spencer helped me get this done with nothing expected in return, he has my eternal gratitude and respect. Here is a close up cropped shot: The Entire piece can be seen here: http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=124412&GSub=8067 or Here: http://www.hulk-smash.com/Bolland%20Gallery/JokerCover.htm and my Bolland collection can be viewed here: http://www.hulk-smash.com/Bolland%20Gallery/Bolland%20Gallery.htm Bask in the glorious glow that is Brian Bolland working in pencil and ink and on paper once again ....you can see from his creation that he has not skipped a beat, lost a step, or shed one molecule of his monstrous talent. If anything he has improved on his already immense skill. Peace and Happy New Year....may everyone get their grail this year. Chris Caira www.hulk-smash.com _________________________

Did you ask for this 'scene' or just ask for a commission? I actually detailed this scene and about 95% of the details. I actually gave Brian 3-4 different ideas.....and that same night as I was falling asleep this idea/nightmare came to me and I ran to email it to him. It was very detailed down to what the Joker was wearing, the look on his face, what he is holding in his hands, and how he is sitting. He was very excited by this concept, and it showed in the zeal he brought to the work. As well, it was a kick that my artistic hero actually liked my idea. I described to him everything except whose heads would be on the wall. Obviously I wanted Batman and Batgirl but the rest of the heads were up to him. He was a gentleman and he was truly concerned and caring about how I felt about the finished product. Thanks for the kind words, they are much appreciated. Chris Caira _________________________

You could easily use that for the cover of a "Brian Bolland: The DC Collection" type art book. _________________________ Rob Larsen Comics blog: It's All Just Comics Personal Site (REDESIGNED) \| Blog Articles/Projects: $100,000 Club \| The World's Most Valuable Comics
