Description

I wasn’t necessarily planning to add another Jester piece to my collection.  But since he’s one of those artists who I put in that collecting sweet spot of both enjoyable and affordable, I always keep track of his new offerings when he does an art drop.  I think it’s been over a year since my last one, so it was nice being able to go back to this particular well.

I really liked this Batgirl when I saw it.  Elegantly simple in design and execution, but still plenty of fun and visual appeal.  Just a strange coincidence that my first three Jester pieces were color, but the last three have been b&w.  I didn’t plan that, I swear.  By the way, I should point out that according to Tony (Jester) he had planned to color this one but ended up liking it better b&w.  I’m sure it would have looked wonderful in color.  But I don’t know if I would have liked it any better or less that way.  I think she looks fabulous just the way she is.  Anyway, hopefully it won’t take another year to add my next piece.  If you want one of your own, you can find Jester on eBay.  His seller name is “moshpot” and he usually posts new art every couple of weeks.

My thanks to Tony for this beauty and yet another pleasant transaction.  Appreciate you all stopping by to check her out.

Jester in b&w shows he can excite in the same way by focusing on line weights and steady ink flow.

It may just be that he's more comfortable and used to the copics, but I would say he's got a little ways to go on both the flow and weight variation of his ink lines.  Now he doesn't seem to have the same problems with his pencil work.  But there's very little variation in boldness or thickness with the inking here.  I would say over 90% of the drawing is done with the same weight.  At least the posing and figure work are great.  That's where all of the visual appeal is for me.

Lovely Batgirl from Jester! Barbara's always got her head in a book and studying history for how it could affect the next mission - I like how her hands/arms are balanced with books weighted in one hand and the other using her hip/side glutes for support on the other. I gotta say I've seen plenty of color Jester pieces including the ones you've shared in the past and they are great but I prefer his linework in pure black and white such as it is here. Nice one!

After reading your comment, I was actually prompted to go back and look at all my Jester pieces to consider the "color vs b&w" argument.  It's close, but I think I'll have to go with the color stuff for a few reasons.  One, first impressions.  My first exposure to Jester was a color piece.  And for while there at the beginning, he wasn't doing any b&w stuff.  So the color work was really all I knew.  Secondly, I just think he's more comfortable with the copic markers.  Plus there's a lot more flexibility in that medium.  He can play around with color highlights, vary tones and textures, show more separation between subject and background, give the image more depth and dimension, and basically just give it more pop.  Yes, the b&w ink lines are nice.  But just seems a little one dimensional to me, if you know what I mean.  However, I WILL say that when it comes to his b&w PENCIL work (see the Slave Leia piece), I think he does a lot better with graphite than with ink.  Anyway, thanks for the comment buddy.

His art is "Super Cute," and definitely an easy guilty pleasure buy.  I may have another piece or two still to post as well ;-)

Ha!  Is that your nice way of saying you don't like them dumb?  Well I suppose you should get a little credit for at least having standards.

Nice to see Batgirl returning to her librarian roots.

I don't get it. The Batcave doesn't have bookshelves?

It's the round, uneven walls - some days you just can't find a good Bat-Carpenter.

Nice sketch! But don't open the covers of "Codex Bat", Batgirl - who knows what satanic evils will be unleashed on the world!

Sexy, playful fun!  It reminds me of watching the 1960's Batman show in reruns as a young kid, seeing Yvonne Craig pop onscreen for the first time, and realizing... there was something -very- interesting happening. :)  This is lovely, Eric!  Great pick up!
