Shown here are some excellent examples of amazing BATMAN ART done by an Artist named Bruce Timm. They were mainly done at Comic Book Conventions. This guy is known for the "Batman: The Animated Series" TV Cartoon and more recent DC Universe Animation Films. The graphics up above feature Classic Bat-Villains like: Harley Quinn, Two-Face, Poison Ivy, and Mr. Freeze!
The only word I could think of to describe today's post is "Extravaganza!", ha ha! We did one of our BATMAN TATTOO ART Posts yesterday and was shocked later to get, not one, but THREE messages from Bat-Blog Fans who have got some bat-ink done! They all sent some wonderful photos of their amazing Batman-themed Tattoos. So, let's check 'em out!
The 1st one, in no particular order, was submitted by a friend named Ryan. It features both Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy done in a "Batman Animated Series" style. Just think "Bruce Timm" artwork. It also features the Classic Logo for THE JOKER.
Next up is a photo sent to us by a Tattoo Artist named Trish. She told us she did this BATMAN BAT-SYMBOL LOGO for her Friend's Son. It's freakin' SWEEEET!!!
Last, but not least, is this great pic from Victor. We kind of get 2 views of this large Tattoo that has both The Dark Knight AND Catwoman, Meow! I like the BATS Motif in the background, a nice touch. Wow! So thanks to everybody who sent us these cool photos, you people ROCK! We also want to extend invitations to everybody else who has had some ink done. Showcasing Batman Art and Creativity is just one of the many functions of this site. Thank You.
Here at the BAT-BLOG.COM we recently did a small profile on an amazing Graphic Artist named Stephanie Buscema. Her Artwork has a wonderful retro-style and people totally love it! So, using some art Stephanie had sent us I made some "Gotham City Girls" Wallpaper Backgrounds. They include: Batgirl ( 2 versions ), 1940's Catwoman, Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn. Please be sure to visit her website for even way more delicious eye candy! Just CLICK HERE!
Awhile back, on Facebook, I started to notice some very splendid artwork by an Artist named Stephanie Buscema. The 1st things I saw were very lovely Pin-Ups of Cute Girls that had a vintage retro-flair. Then, they appeared with a sort of "Halloween Ghoul" theme. These were all really cool. After checking them out I thought she had a lot of talent.
Her artwork looks very much like the kind of Illustration you might see in Vintage 1940's or 50's Little Golden Books. At first they appear "simple". That is, until you notice all the very elaborate shading and complex shapes. Also, let me tell you, pulling off a "minimal-style" type of artwork like this is extremely difficult. Stephanie's art is very well-done! It's super super-cute without making your teeth ache, ha! Plus, her Pin-Up Women are actually very beautiful and represent the species well.
OK so later, all of a sudden, she starts drawing Comic Book Heroines and Villains, POW! Characters like Batgirl, Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn, Catwoman, and more! Now, this is where I think her work really sparkles! Don't get me wrong, her other stuff is great too, but these "New Superheroes" are fresh. In fact, I would love to see an entire Graphic Novel done this way! Maybe make it the exact size of a Little Golden Book with the Gold-Foil Spine. Even "animated" would be cool.
Anyways, I contacted her and she was sweet enough to share some of her amazing art with us. Because of space limitations I needed to edit her work down to just a few pictures but that proved to be wayyyy too difficult... because they're ALL SO AWESOME!! So, I'm just posting them all, right now, ha ha! ( Thanks Stephanie )
To see more art please be sure to visit her website, just click HERE!
Here's a video a Friend sent us on Facebook that I knew I had to share! ( Thanks Jeff ) It's a very well-made fan-film titled BATMAN: DEATH WISH. The Sets, Costume Design, and Editing are all very decent! I mean, I'm sure they didn't have a million-dollar budget but they do a very nice job here. Plus, more importantly, the Actors can actually ACT, ha!
We love it when Bat-Blog Fans share pictures with us and here's a great example! This is a photo from a guy named Gary who lives in Spain. He has 2 Batman-related Tattoos of The JOKER and HARLEY QUINN! The Joker, of course, is the iconic cover art done by Brian Bolland for the BATMAN: THE KILLING JOKE Graphic Novel. The Classic "Joker snapping a photo" image... Awesome! Next, on the other side of his arm, is a graphic of Harley Quinn. These are both great choices and the Tattoo Artist did a very wonderful job here. Thanks for sharing these Gary, very cool!
I just got some news about another soon to come out LEGO BATMAN Play Set from the DC Universe Super Heroes Series and it's called "The Dynamic Duo Funhouse Escape" #6857. It's a large Lego Toys Playset that comes with five Lego Figures: Batman, Robin, Riddler, Joker, and Harley Quinn!! Check it out, it looks pretty cool!
This first photo shown here is pretty amazing! It just needs a tiny bit of explaining to understand it's total awesomeness!! OK, Every year, in the Whitt Family household, it's a Holiday Tradition for them to create an extremely elaborate Custom Christmas Card with a "Batman theme". I'm proud to say that I have got a few and they're pretty cool! But this year they really outdid themselves, ha!
Check it out: The 2nd photo is a very famous piece of Batman Merchandise. This was a Christmas Collector Plate put out by DC Direct Gallery in 2005. I still remember when I first saw it at a Warner Bros Store. It's one of the rare "Bat-Xmas" items that featured artwork by Alex Ross. It shows the Joker and Harley Quinn dressed as Santa Claus and they have trapped Batman in a Santa's Toy Bag. It's become a very classic Holiday image, almost iconic.
Now, when I received this photo from my friend John ( He's "Batman" in the photo ) I just thought he sent a picture of that PLATE, sort of like a Holiday Greeting, ha! But looking at it I was kind of taken back and then I was like, "Hey, That's a photo of real people!" Yes, they fooled me! The picture is that good. Thanks John and please extend the best wishes from me to your family, HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
Oh yeah! Here are some ever so delightful Batman-related HOT BAT-BABE WALLPAPERS to brighten your PC's desktop! I guess I gotta explain to brand-new BAT-BLOG Readers that every Wednesday we post a few FREE Batman Backgrounds. It's been a tradition for over 6 years so why stop now! These photos were submitted by our good friend BatDave from 2 different events that happened to be in New Jersey. The 1st one has a beautiful pair of Evil Bat-Villains, Catwoman and Harley Quinn! Oh yeah, there's some 1966 Batmobile Replica Cars in the photo too, ( who cares? ) Ha Ha! Speaking of the Batmobile the next one has a very pretty "Daisy Duke" Girl with the Famous Car, so I guess it's still "Batman-related"...right? You're welcome.
Over at the INANIMATE OBJECT website, just in time for the new year, they recently posted their fun brand-new 2012 Calendar! At the site, you can download the full calendar as a print-quality PDF file, and then take it to a local printer. They consulted with several local print shops in their area, from the mom-and-pops to the big chains, and they found the best deal was at Office Depot.
Anyways, this is the famous website done by a Graphic Artist named Cason Pilliod. His thing is making Customized Action Figures, most of them are characters from "Batman, The Animated Series" but there's other cool stuff too. These Custom Toys are totally amazing and you can easily spend an hour or two just drooling over the eye-candy, ha! So, Please be sure to check it out sometime. Oh yeah, Here's the LINK to download the FREE 2012 INANIMATE OBJECT Calendar, enjoy.
The other night, while totally wasting time on the Internet ( Ha Ha! ), I discovered this really cool website run by a girl named Betty Felon. She writes a blog called "FASHION TIPS FROM COMIC STRIPS" and it's actually pretty cool! She finds tons of Comic Book-Inspired fashions and Real-Life Clothing, then writes about it. Most of the stuff is for Girls. But anyways, I thought I'd share it.
Oh yeah, here are some brand-new pants made by Tripp NYC that are inspired by Batman Villains, Harley Quinn and Two-Face! This is the kinda stuff you can discover there, just click HERE!
Here's a great piece of Batman Graphic Art I came across the other day while surfing the web. It's a HARLEY QUINN PIN-UP created by Ben Hickling. Ben is a Graphic Artist living in Bristol, England. I like the "Cartoon Style" and the 3-D rendering is pretty cool! To view more of his ART just click HERE!
The other night I was sort of inspired to create a few BATMAN: ARKHAM CITY Wallpaper Backgrounds with some cool graphics I found. I still have not got to play this cool Video Game yet and grow more bitter every day, ha! The general theme with these two are "Villains". So, I present, HARLEY QUINN and the Prince of Crime, The JOKER!!
Check out these awesome graphics by our Buddy Dean Fraser. He's the Graphic Artist known for the popular SPRINGFIELD PUNX website where he makes parodies of famous fictional characters... IF, they were on the Simpsons! Oh yeah, it's a great concept & a very funny idea. This week is "BATMAN: ARKHAM CITY WEEK" at the site. So far he's created BATMAN and HARLEY QUINN. But knowing him he will do every single character that exists in that Video Game. At least, we hope so! Here's a link to check it out, just click here, SPRINGFIELD PUNX! ( Thanks for the heads-up Dean ).
OK, I know it's not a contest or anything, but out of all the photos submitted this year to the Bat-Blog in celebration of Halloween, this Super-Cute Costume of HARLEY QUINN has got to be the most precious one! This pretty little girl's name is Lane and, even though she's only a few months old, she experienced her very first Halloween in complete and total style! Her Mom, Jennifer, said,
"I started sewing it before she was born and had to make a few modifications when she finally arrived ( she was smaller than I imagined ). I did all the hand smocking around the neckline in a diamond pattern to be reminiscent of Harley Quinn and then accented it with tiny white pom poms. The black and white dress and diaper cover have diamond appliques and of course there's also a hood and mask, which she wore without any fuss - pretty great for a newborn!"
Yes, VERY great I gotta say! Thanks Jennifer for sharing this special event & the wonderful photos. Lane is the Cutest Little Harley Quinn...ever!
IN STORES NOW! OK, on your next trip to Wal-Mart or Target be sure to keep an eye out for these brand-new 2011 HOT WHEELS DC COMICS ORIGINALS NOSTALGIA SERIES By Mattel! This wave contains eight ( 8 ) Superhero / Super-Villain Die-Cast Cars to collect: Batman, Joker, Harley Quinn, Superman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Lex Luthor & even Bizzaro! Yes! When was the last time you ever saw some Bizzaro merchandise, ha ha! The cars are pretty cool but what I love the most is the use of the retro-style graphics, very 1980's! Thanks goes out to our awesome Bat-Reporter BATMOBILLY for letting us know about these, they're great!
