Many of you have seen this one already, but I can finally post it here. Worked with my friends at Mondo to create their latest DC-licensed print titled "The Batcave." The print will go on sale at the Mondotees site on Thursday, August 30 at a random time.

Do you hew closely to the established comic/tv/movie canon, or take some chances to create something new? Do you keep it a clinical, cross-section rendering, or attempt to go deeper and tell some kind of narrative within the scene? For our take on the Batcave, we decided on another option: trying all of the above...It goes on like that for a while, so if you can stand to read the entire thing head over to the Mondo blog.
