A couple weeks ago I received a great Christmas package from Mitch Ballard, including one commission and a surprise present. :)
The present was his take on the (rather famous) image from George Perez, showing Dick Grayson's way from Robin to Nightwing (unfortunately, I can't find a scan from the original image on my pc at the moment, sorry). You can see it
here.
As for the commission... last year I started a new theme: Robin The Boy Hostage pieces based on old (but brilliant!) covers from the Hardy Boys novels. Up to now, I got one commission from Mitch and one from Greg Kirkpatrick, and I'm pretty happy with both of them! :)
