Jack Nicholson - The Joker: Splash
Portrait, 18 x 24 in.
Lead on Paper
Jack Nicholson as The Joker from Tim Burton's classic 1989 film, Batman - what else needs to be said? For many he defined the character. And whatever you may think about him, he never failed to deliver on the entertainment in a film that was wonderful and yet lacking in so many ways. The action sequences were so limited on that original film because of the actual Batman suit that was designed for Michal Keaton who was portraying the title role, but were brought to vivid life by Nicholson's unyielding acting chops and his sense of over the top madness that seems to seep from the celluloid at times. This film is one of my first memories and the image has been burnt into my head for as long as I can remember so it felt really good to get this one down on paper finally and hopefully pay a little homage to the man who brought me so much joy in my childhood. "For my number one guy!"
