It looks like our buddy "Brohawk" aka David Williams has been pretty busy since we talked to him last. Check this out, he has published a brand-new hardback book of his amazing artwork titled "Brohawk's Weapons of Choice, The Art of David Williams". This cool "Book Promo" video was created ( see down below ) to promote it. He will have some copies at San Diego Comic Con 2010 at the "Big Wow" booth #4902 so look for him there or visit his website by clicking HERE!
I got an e-mail tonight from a good friend who sent these cool pics ( click on the drawing up above for a larger picture ). They're some sketches of a "Batman Bat-Suit" he says he's going to make! His name is "BroHawk" & he's an extremely talented graphic artist ( mostly comic books ). So, you know this thing is gonna be awesome! I'm actually kind of excited about it & hope he sends us some photos later...can't wait to see it. Thanks to BroHawk for sending the cool artwork & hey, get busy!
OK, This week I thought I would post 2 Batman Wallpapers that celebrate great comic book artists. The 1st one ( Harley Quinn ) is done by our friend BroHawk & the 2nd background is by Classic Comic Book Artist Berni Wrightson. Yeah, I like these a lot!! If you have any suggestions for future wallpaper ideas then please let us know....we aim to please!
Alright! I'm really proud to be showing off this amazing artwork done by a Bat-Blog Friend named BROHAWK. His real name is David Williams, but he's a black guy with a huge Mohawk hairstyle, so everybody calls him "Brohawk"! I love that nickname, pretty funny! But all kidding aside, he's a GREAT comic book artist! Check this out - Here's an amazing piece of art he done at a comic book convention back in 2008 ( Be sure to click on it for a larger, more detailed, version ). It's The Joker's favorite girlfriend, HARLEY QUINN! She's holding a fuse-lit bomb that I bet is intended for Batman, ha ha! The details to this thing are totally beautiful. I really like the coloring too, especially the eyes. I wanna thank David for sending this to me & I also wanna invite you guys to check out his website gallery for more nice art. You can do so by clicking HERE!
The other day I received an e-mail from a guy named David Williams. He told me how much he liked the Bat-Blog & he casually sent an invitation to view his Art Journal. Well, I've been really busy but found the time tonight to check it out. Wow, was I surprised...he is actually a VERY talented artist! While searching his page I saw a lot of references to Batman, cool stuff, very original. But one picture really caught my eye, the one of Catwoman. ( Click on the photo up above to view a larger, more detailed, picture). The thing that impressed me the most is that it is not really "his style" but I instantly noticed that it was sort of an homage to a classic pin-up artist from the 1940's named George Petty. I too love Petty's art work & the funny thing is that Williams' art was so dead-on. The picture you see on the left is an original Petty for a Ridgid Tools Pin-Ups Calender. The art on the right is David's appropriation of Petty's style, the drawing of Catwoman. There are a few elements that tell me exactly how he copied his style. 1st is the pose. This "look" of a girl "floating in air" is classic Petty. 2nd is the way Catwoman is all colored realistically but her whip is done in just simple red pencil. Petty used that technique a lot. The 3rd thing is the way Williams wrote his "signature" just like the way Petty always wrote his with one letter having a large swoosh. ( Compare them, funny huh?! ). The 4th thing might be the shape of the legs...very "muscular"! Overall his Catwoman is a beautiful homage to a great pin-up artist. But, he's not some guy who just copies other people's art. He has his own very distinct style & it too is really good. You should check out his page sometime & see, it's worthy. Here's a link:
