A Stunning Piece of MDJ Artwork: “Batman Forgets His Poncho (Or, When Butlers Forget To Butle)”

June 30, 2010 //

Absolutely one of my favourite toys in the whole wide world is my Wacom Intuos tablet.

With a bit of Adobe Illustrator wizardry, I can use it to transform rough pencil sketches like this…

Into whizbang fully-digitally-inked-and-coloured alleged masterpieces like this:

I call it “Batman Forgets His Poncho (Or, When Butlers Fail To Butle).”

If you would like to secure a genuine, limited-edition original dot matrix printout, please deposit USD537,045 into MDJ Superstar’s official PayPal account, and let me know when you’d like me to fax it over to you, sometime between the years 2018 and 2031.

"It's cool."

By MDJ Superstar

August 22, 2008 //

I haven’t drawn in ages, but I really really needed something to get my mind off of that IAMNINOY campaign that we did.

(MDJ Superstar confesses that he is a bit obsessive about IAMNINOY… I must have posted at least seven blog entries about the commercial and the AVP and the merchandise, etc.! Can you imagine what it’s like when I have a kid?? I’ll be flooding my blog with all sorts of senseless little doodads about her! I tend to fixate, can you tell?)

But anyway, back to art. This is what I came up with.

I wanted to play with shapes and shadows, more than the actual line art and details. Plus, I spent the last couple of nights chilling out to DVD’s of Scarface and Sin City (yes, that is perfect therapy cinema right there…), so I would think it’s obvious where the style influences came from.
