The image features Harley as seen in the first Paul Dini Batman Animated series of the 1990's. The original image was drawn by Bruce and shows the details on how he original drew the character. A marvelous image of her. Photo size is 8 x 10 inches. Photo is Professionally printed at a studio photo-lab. This is NOT a cheap PC home computer print. Bruce signed this for me at the 2009 San Diego Comic-Con.
He signed it using a Silver Sharpie Paint Pen, so the signature stands out nicely against the black background. Piece is in NEW condition. Any Batman or Harley fan would LOVE this piece.
Bruce Timm co-created Harley Quinn, (with writer Paul Dini) working from Dini's original design. Harley’s popularity on television led to her inclusion in the mainstream DC Universe. In2004, Timm and Dini (assisted by Shane Glines as inker) released a three-issue Harley and Ivy miniseries, which was in the works for years. Design of the item: Because the items are all hand signed, each individual piece will have a slightly different signature on it then the one pictured. The image posted is only meant to be representative.
This piece is NOT the cel version of this image. It's a Photograph of the cel, which is signed. I get a lot of questions about this from, children or adolescence, playing around on ebay. So this line is for those kids who can't read or who read this after they bought. This listing clearly states that it's a photograph. If you buy this item, thinking that it's the cel then, you are wrong. This is a Hand signed photograph. If you contact me asking ''...is this hand signed?" I'm going to block you, out of total frustration. Why? Because this is a test and whoever needs to ask me the question after reading this, is a person I don't want to do business with. If the description is unclear to you, then don't buy it.
Bruce Walter Timm (born on February 8, 1961) is an American character designer, animator and producer. He is also a writer and artist working in comics, and is known for his contributions building the modern DC Comics animated franchise, the DC animated universe.
Timm's minimalist, angular style is heavily based in his love of 1950s and 1960s-era comics and art deco architecture style. He is also completely self-taught, having never received any formal art schooling.
He lists his artistic influences as Jack Kirby, Harvey Kurtzman, Jim Steranko, John Buscema, Wally Wood, Frank Frazetta, Dan DeCarlo, and Alex Toth.
Although he shared character designer duties on Superman: The Animated Series and Justice League with James Tucker, Timm did virtually all the original character designs for Batman: The Animated Series himself (with the exceptions of Mr. Freeze and the Riddler, who were designed by Mike Mignola and the characters Man Bat & the Mad Hatter, who were designed by Kevin Nowlan).
