Congratulations, Nick, you made the cover of Batman!!

"...and put on some pants."

Well, I've been sitting on this one for awhile now, as it was a gift. Last night I finally got to deliver the gift, so that means - now I can post it!!!
A couple weeks ago I had some fun with one of the blank sketch variants for Batman #0 (see below for a "before" shot). This was done for our dear friend Nick Stevens, whose is mostly known for his sports oriented comic shennanigans. Nick is always gracious enough to make the haul up from New York every year to host our fundraiser comedy show and I alway like to present him with some token of thanks. Generally, given his love of sports, those tokens have been some pretty sweet sport memorabilia.
This year, I wanted to try something a little different. Given my recent plunge back into "doodling" and my knowledge that Nick is a HUGE batgeek (not unlike myself), when this book came out it just seemed obvious what I should do. Congratulations, Nick, you made the cover of Batman!!
