Barry Jazz Finnegan shows off his superb skills once again, this time capturing an iconic image of Heath Ledger’s Joker.

Probably one of the best movie performances of the last decade, Heath Ledger’s Joker was the real star of The Dark Knight. It is not often you root for the bad guy but watching that film you sometimes question which side you are on, which is a hell of a trick considering the stuff the Joker does in the movie.

Because of his dramatic nature, the Joker is a perfect subject for artists and JOE new favourite man with an easel, Barry Jazz Finnegan, thought the same. Just a few weeks back Barry’s video of how he put together a tribute portrait of Brian O’Driscoll was hugely popular on the site and we are delighted that he has a new video, this time showing how he put together a great charcoal rendering of one of the Joker’s most famous scenes.

Class.
