I love Batman so much, you guys.

Slow down, Bats! You'll get to the Willamette Valley soon enough.

Slow down, Bats! You'll get to the Willamette Valley soon enough.

Enough that, when I had a chance to go to bed before midnight last night, I stayed up an extra 90 minutes to create this, just because I love Batman so much.

Enjoy!

Sherlock Holmes, baby! The other World’s Greatest Detective.

Lookin' all pensive, smokin' his pipe. Oh yeah.

Just a quick sketch of one of my favorite fictional characters.

I think Hound of the Baskervilles would make a totally boss webcomic. It’s public domain, right? Somebody get on this.

…make it happen!

It's all in the chin, baby

Wait, wrong Captain.

Quickie Photoshop paints over inks on vellum. I wanted to play with skin tones a bit. Looking at a man’s face, the nose and lips have more red, and the hint of a five o’clock shadow adds a tint of greenish-gray to the chin and cheeks. I think it turned out pretty well, for 15 minutes’ work.

Look at that ape's hat. It's AWESOME. Got a feather and everything!

Depicted in the scene above: Officer Murphy of the Detroit Police Department engaging in an arm wrestling bout with a great ape commonly known as the “gorilla”. Said gorilla is clearly wearing a totally rad hat. I think Murphy wants it, and that’s what the whole thing is about.
