Harley Quinn: The Joke’s On You, original artwork.
Now I’m glad that I didn’t go ahead with the original sketch. One could say that I probably draw Harley Quinn a lil’ too much. But who cares…
As always, if you would like to buy this illustration as an 11” x 17” print, feel free to do so either here or here.
For those who haven’t seen it…
“Ladies and Gentlemen! You’ve read about it in the papers! Now witness,
before your very eyes, that most rare and tragic of nature’s mistakes! I
give you: the average man. Physically unremarkable, it instead
possesses a deformed set of values. Notice the hideously bloated sense
of humanity’s importance. Also note the club-footed social conscience
and the withered optimism. It’s certainly not for the squeamish, is it?
Most repulsive of all, are its frail and useless notions of order and
sanity. If too much weight is placed upon them… they snap. How does it
live, I hear you ask? How does this poor pathetic specimen survive in
today’s harsh and irrational environment? I’m afraid the sad answer is,
“Not very well.” Faced with the inescapable fact that human existence is
mad, random, and pointless, one in eight of them crack up and go stark
slavering buggo! Who can blame them? In a world as psychotic as this…
any other response would be crazy!“

“It’s all a joke! Everything anybody ever valued or struggled for… it’s all a monstrous, demented gag! So why can’t you see the funny side? Why aren’t you laughing?”
i’ve been watching batman the animated series and these two are SO CUTE
She [Barbara Gordon] wasn’t just somebody’s daughter. She was someone who mattered to Gotham City.
