Boom Box by JNESS

It gets tougher to find time at the computer screen so the sketchbook becomes the default. "Old faithful" ink on paper. This piece is called BOOM BOX.

IF-Rescue by JNESS

The word Rescue lead me to think of the classic villain and the damsel in distress tied to the tracks. Instead of a locamotive, a New York subway train approaches as Batman goes for the save.
