Heath Ledger as The Joker
view larger!
please note, this painting is made entirely out of respect for the late actor. I painted this out of honour, I think this image is incredibly iconic and wanted to encapsulate that, despite his sad and untimely death, Heath Ledger will go on to become an icon and I hope you understand this image is entirely in good will.
not for sale cos of the copyright which I completely understand, merely here to say ‘look! isnt it cool?’

theres no other way I could interprete it hun, such a waste of a brilliant up and coming actor and according to reviews an even better joker than jack nicholson

I think thats why I added the additional bit in the description, I would hate the idea of anyone thinking I was ‘cashing in’ on his death, in reality, I think its such a powerful image I would have painted it anyway, I think the imagery is marvellous, a pleasure to paint, so much so that it only took me half an hour to do!

It was a huge shock in America when we heard that Heath Ledger was dead. It was a very sad thing. He was very talented. You have created a great tribute to him.
