Process: The Dark Knight

Recently finished my first painting of The Dark Knight. Here's a look at the process from sketch to final.

The sketch:

Applying paint to the canvas:

Hours and hours later we have a finished painting:

The final painting measures 20 x 47 inches, acrylic on canvas.

Enjoy your new home Batman.

  1. Justin,

    That piece that ran in the Banner Extra brought me to your website, where I got a chance to look at your work. I think you are very talented. I'm curious, have you done any original comic strip work?

  8. So, the other day I was at blockbuster looking for some movies, and I happened to pass some posters that they were selling. My sister was going through them, and I happened to glance over as she picked up a kill bill painting that looked familiar. I was so surprised! I was like, holy crap! I've seen that before! It was your kill bill painting!!
