Description

This is neat little piece. It's a color Joker illustration by Brian Bolland done around the time of The Killing Joke for a wristwatch DC released in 1989. It's one of the few color Joker images that Brian drew. But mainly I'm posting it because of how cool the framing came out. The original art is a Joker face in a circle on a white board with some crop marks, but Brian signed the piece in the lower right. Framing it with a square matte would have looked very open, and a circle would have covered the signature. So I made a somewhat unusual request...

I had this watch! Very cool piece of art from 1989, the year of Batman. For how little he did Bolland's art was everywhere then.
