This #POOC is based on an infamous Batman comic book panel (the dialogue is verbatim) from BATMAN #66 in 1951. For the full story on "The Joker's Comedy of Errors," read here, but in the meantime, here's my take on this iconic piece of artwork (originally by Bob Kane and Charles Paris).
Oh, the original of this is available for sale in my Etsy, shop, ToughGuyGoods. It glows in a black light!
I just did this drawing yesterday (as I post this) and I think it may end up being the first in a series of comic covers redux in holiday colors. Or this may just wind up being my Christmas card next year. We'll see. In the meantime, if you are one who celebrates this particular season.... Merry Christmas.
Do you know Brian Musikoff? You should if you don't. A beloved north Jersey rock / bar fixture, member of the band, Stuyvesant, podcaster, and noted cartoonist / animation designer, Brian departed NJ for Seattle, WA some years back, and the Garden State has never been the same. For a few years now, Brian has been enlisting people to "put hair on bald Brian" using Photoshop and drawing skills, and recently enlisted me to do this mashup that really should've happened long ago.
The theme for this merch design for Jersey City salon, The Hair Room was "Wizard of OZ meets the 1980s," which of course meant giant metal hair for the Cowardly Lion. You can buy this on a bunch of different products at the Hair Room's Threadless Store!
I've done more artwork for Kearny NJ's Secret Country than any other band, but this latest work might be my favorite I've done for them. "Under the Mistletoe" is their new holiday single for 2020, including a VERY limited edition vinyl pressing. You can listen / buy on Bandcamp or snag the single at the Killing Horse Records' website!
