Old Bizarro Commission

From 2007. This piece was a real challenge because the commissioner started the series with Brian Bolland's inspired Joker Trophy Wall masterpiece. He asked me to do something similar with Bizarro but I couldn't think of a worthy variation on Brian's theme. I did dozens of sketches, only two of which are shown here, then finally came up with a peculiar idea which seemed to work.

  3. Heh, I think the hands holding up the wall is actually the funniest part. Lol. And yeah, the Kandor bottle plus his smug kind of face is interesting.

  8. Thanks, guys! I'm glad you enjoyed the humor in this one. I don't think I've ever waited so long for inspiration to strike.

    Mookie59: I'll contact you privately but I'm not sure how much time I'll have for any new commissions... at least not for a while.
