I'd met John at previous conventions where he's been drawing on the Orangutan Comics stand. Time had been short last time so I gave him a sheet to draw on this time just in case! He drew me a Joker sketch and then asked me to send him a high res scan so that he could correct it and colour it at home. I duly obliged and he send me back this really stylish drawing that really takes advantage of the frame. A big thanks to John for taking the time with this one and making it one of the few full colour sketches in the collection. (Bristol International Comics Expo 2009)
