Why so seriously talented?

Why so seriously talented?

It’s safe to say that JOE are big fans of the Dublin based artist Barry Jazz Finnegan. We spent almost our entire afternoon looking over his portfolio of work and once again his latest painting is stunning.

We’ve already featured plenty of examples of the hugely talented artist’s work, featuring LeBron James, Conor McGregor and Brian O’Driscoll to name but a few.

His latest drawing has seen him return to a familiar but classic subject, Heath Ledger’s performance as the Joker in The Dark Knight.

This stunning work captures the initial reveal of the Joker in the film,  when he lifted off his clown mask in the aftermath of arguably the most intricate and well planned heist of all time.

Take a look.

When JOE was in art class we never looked like a guy with a plan. You know what we were? We were like a dog chasing cars. JOE wouldn’t know what to do with one if we caught it.
