Bringing in the New Year

Bringing in the New Year Originally uploaded by Gelatomettista2.

Got so much art backed up that I think 2006 will see a resurgence of never before seen art. Here's the first. A quick Batman and Catwoman did for a friend for the holidays. I like incorporating some pencil work on top of regular black and white art to provide a little texture and also to separate some costume details and toss in a few subtle lighting effects. The obsession with bats comes from the recent run on Batman and Robin...hope you all had a great end of 2005. Mine was very quiet and peaceful; was in Tokyo for the holidays for business and some fun. I have some photos I need to format and will put up laters...

I like your Batman because he has a strong personality ! By the way the impressionist rendition of the batcave is really beautiful ! Happy new year !

Awesome piece again Jim. I really love seeing your artwork in black and white. I'm very much looking forward to the never before seen art, sounds like it'll be an exciting year here on the blog. I'm sure I'm not alone when I say, I can't wait!

Ever wished to see Jim without having to deal with the long lines at the comic shows? Now you can, without even having to leave your computer terminal. Check it out this link:

Great video, but the url you posted is actually cut off in the default comments window size. Anyone trying to view the video just expand your window a little to the right and you'll see the full address.

That was a great night at the good ol' Isotope!
