Tuxedo Batman

[secondlina]

So, there's this strange graffiti posted around Montréal, that is basically Batman in a Tuxedo. (I didn't take this photo, I randomly found it off Google). I saw one quickly this morning as my bus rushed by it. It's pretty awesome. I wonder what it's suppose to represent, exactly? The Tuxedo Batman I saw was in a little place I love. There's this guy, close to the metro, that lives right next to a bridge. The sign over his large home says "metal worker" among other things. All the windows have intricate metal shapes and creatures in front of them. And there's this little vacant lot next to his home stuck between the bridge and the house where there's a ton of whimsical metal animal structures. I never actually got close (it's a little difficult to cross the street to visit it, which is why i'm guessing this parch of land was unused). It's like some kind of magical park the metal worker created for himself. I really love it.

And now his home is marked with the Tuxedo Batman. 

Oh, in another note, I was accepted for Expozine, a little author comic con in the end of November. I know. I know. I,m tired of cons. But Expozine is actually a great place for things like webcomics, just like TCAF. And a friend of mine, Fanie, will be going too. So I felt inclined to give it a try.

Yep.

Hey, it's art. It isn't supposed to make sense, but if anything, to create a dialogue. I don't find the notion of Batman in a tux strange anyway, since he's supposed to be rolling in wealth anyway. Take that mask off, and he's just his non-super hero self. ...or something...

There must be something about transportation and metal workers! Every time I visited the part of Seattle with the train station, I too saw a "house" that gave birth to metal animal sculptures. I used to see this massive scrap metal horse, and I always wished I had a way to walk up to it to really study it. I'd love to see pictures of what you see at that place!

Cons are always better when experienced with a friend, so hopefully this fact alone will make it that much better for you. If not, well, I guess you'll have to decide if cons are really worth it. ^_-;

Cons are worth it, but I need to aim for those who are designed for webcomics and graphic novels. This one is, so i'll give it a shot. Heh, I guess my worse con experience was that stupid comiccon fiasco, and that was for the bookstore, so it should not be so bad.

It's kind of like James Bond meets Batman! I love finding nifty things like that. :)

I'd totally love to see photos of those metal animal sculptures! They sound pretty neat!

I want to go take pictures one day... Maybe in winter. :D

Weird! Do you know when the Batmans start started showing up? And congrats on the Expozines- the little ones are by far the best to be in.

I'm not sure. I just saw two a couple of months ago. I guess maybe they are new this year? I would have noticed Batman graffiti is I saw some in the past.

What's not to love about Tuxedo Batman? :D !!

All that's missing now is Tuxedo Robin... played by Chris O'Donnell. Yup!
