Batman: Digital Justice (the servo cops)


Look at the poor resolution of the picture but just think that it was done more than 20 years ago and with a color palette of only 256 colors (index color). I'm not bragging and not that it matters but it was a lot harder than you think. If I only had photoshop and millions of colors back then... but maybe it wound't have been the same and would have taken all those colors for granted... NAHH!!

THE BATMOBILE (int)

Batmobile interior designs circa 1990. Again it's kind of cool that I got to design one generation of the Batmobile. I had everything in the car working in my head. You know like if it was a real functioning machine. Designing everything in detail and in function was not typical in comics at the time. I had the chance to show off... and of course i did... and I had a great time doing it.

THE BATMOBILE

Here's a series of Batmobile designs circa 1990. It's kind of cool that I got to design one generation of the Batmobile. One of my favorite designers at the time was my friend Syd Mead (BladeRunner among many other incredible things).

Batman: Digital Justice Cover study


As it turns out digging through old files I've started to find hundreds of designs and sketches for the Batman Digital Justice book. At the time all the artwork was just part of the design process and never meant for publication. Looking at this work anew and after all this time (more than 20 years ago) it brings to life an unexpected emotional component. At the time the book came out it was quite a feat to get the computer to work for you (and quite an ordeal to get it into the printing page) so there was an accomplishment factor that was important and hard to dismiss. However now that it’s all common place these hand-sketches seem to capture a raw sense of a unique place and time and look far more interesting to me than the final work. The interesting thing with hand-drawings is that they have the ability to transport you back to the exact place and time your mind was when you were working on them. Let me know if any of this raw stuff is as interesting to you as it is to me. Let me know what you think and if you want to see more.

Batman: Digital justice German Edition


Another rare find. This is the cover for Batman Digital Justice as it appeared in the German market. This cover is a bit doll in my mind. Whatever happened to all those incredible graphic "propaganda" designers from way back when. What do you think?
