Superhero Ian!

So all of this altering Ian or Anya into a Rockstar has been so much fun, both to do and see! (If you don't know what I am talking about, head over to Club Anya and check out the fun contest going on right now!) I had to share this other altered Ian card. Last week my husband said to me," You should try to make him into Batman and Joker." He's always been a Batman fan and it's kind of a reoccuring theme in our lives together. Teh first Tim Burton Batman movie was one of our first dates. We both wore Batman t-shirts to our wedding reception. When our daughter was a baby, you were guaranteed to get a big grin by going "nananananana Batman!" and she had Batmand pajama's as a toddler, that she wore as her first Halloween costume. So, anyway, I had to try!
I made the images last week and I was so tickled to see Batman and the Joker with Ian's sweet face! They are both made with Dress Me Ian. For Batman, I traced Ian's head and drew a mask for him. I also traced his body twice and drew the Batman costume and the Joker costume. I really wanted a city scene behind them and I didn't have one (you'd think I'd just draw one, but I am way better drawing things that concern people - clothes, hair, people themselves. ) but I found 2 different ones at Starving Artists Stamps. I used Doodlefactory Rooftops Backdrop. Then while waiting for it to arrive, the Joker got something wet on him and got all smeared, so I had to do him again! (I'm so grateful it wasn't Batman - he took so much longer!) . Everything is colored wiht Copics.

Thanks so much for coming to see what I have done and all of the wonderful comments that are left - Traci
