ABOUT THE ART: "Batman and Beyond" charts the Dark Knight's progression from the award-winning Warner Bros. Animated series, running from 1992 through 2000. Designed by Juan Ortiz, this pan cel when viewed from left to right portrays the three Bruce Timm art-directed versions of Batman. The first Batman from the first season is the dark and vengeful character who exists in the equally vengeful Gotham City. The second Batman (Wearing his Jet-Wing) reverts to a more classic Bob Kane style, with notably grayer tones in Batman's suit as well as his utility belt. The third Batman, from Batman Beyond, entails a more Anime-influenced Batman: his suit is red and black, and his shape is more angular in contrast with the two previous Dark Knight styles. The background which shifts in coloration and building style, and features the bat signal, also reflects the seasons of change in this popular series.
The animation for this limited edition was created at the Warner Bros. Animation Studio. The design and layout were rendered by Juan Ortiz and the final tight drawing by Dan Beltran. The master inking was made by Laurie Dindis, which was then silk-screened onto an acetate sheet (or "cel") along with the Clampett Studio Collections seal of authenticity. Each cel was then expertly hand-painted on the reverse side in the classic animation style. The original background was meticulously rendered by artist Hector Martinez and reproduced utilizing a fine art giclée process. Each cel is hand-signed by famed Batman: The Animated Series Producer, Bruce Timm, as well as episode directors Kevin Altieri and Dan Riba. As a final step, each cel is hand-numbered to an ultimate edition size of 100.

ABOUT:
Tom Everhart is a celebrated American painter whose work uniquely bridges the worlds of fine art and popular culture through his exclusive use of Charles Schulz’s Peanuts characters. Initially trained at Yale School of Art and later mentored by Schulz himself, Everhart transitioned from traditional illustration and architectural rendering to a bold, expressive painting style after a life-altering battle with cancer in the late 1980s.
"The "Posing" series did grow out of the previous "Hide and Seek" series that focused on the questions of one's attempt to hide their intellectual honesty in order to seek out a newly designed image... a "Poser" tsunami of posturing between who was being real, and who was obviously pretending to be real, often with the intent to deceive, could no longer be ignored." - Tom Everhart
