Star of the 1995 movie “Batman Forever”, Val Kilmer. Who could forget the scene in the Batcave when a shirtless Kilmer rises to his feet to intimidate Chris O’Donnell‘s Dick Grayson, but Val looks like a scrawny wimp?

One of eight caricatures from my upcoming limited edition print “Bats in the Belfry”, debuting this Thursday at Wizard World Chicago Comic Con, and onsale in The Studio Store on Monday! READ MORE

I’m not talking about caterpillar eyebrows or a big forehead. I mean scars, a very lazy eye, or anything out of the norm. I have a cleft… READ MORE

The print is debuting next week at the Wizard World Chicago Comic-Con, and will be available… READ MORE
