The Joker

Azul Ink thought that this sketch of The Joker from the comic/movie Batman, was absolutely fantastic and therefore decided it merited a post. The sketch was done by DC Comic's artist Jim Lee. Have a look: (click to enlarge)

This portrait of the joker was done in pencil, inks, ink wash and Tippex.

Psychedelic Steve Jobs

Azul Ink found another great piece of work done by the artist Charis Tsevis. It is a collage of Apple founder Steve Jobs in his younger, hippy days.


The collage was made using old and kitsch Apple II advertisements from the late 70s and early 80s. Below is a close up of the image:
