Every week we love to hunt down the coolest comic book art that you won't be able to find in comics. The reason you won't is because artists often do sketches for fun or commissions and post them on their blogs and Tumblrs. They're too good not to be seen by everyone. You can even arrange commissions with some artists through their websites so be sure to check them out.
One of the reasons I love doing this feature is to see the artists draw different characters. Paolo Rivera has been killing it on Marvel projects he's been doing but check out these commissions he posted on his blog of Batman and Two-Face.
Speaking of Batman, Dustin Nguyen posted this Mr. Freeze pic on his Tumblr which I have a feeling might appear in the next BATMAN: LI'L GOTHAM digital first comic. He also put up a Batman pic on ebay. Unfortunately it's already sold (for $745).
Shall we continue with the Batman theme? Denis Medri has been doing some Rockabilly Batman sketches lately. There is a Facebook fan page for it in the hopes of making this project happen at DC. Check out the latest sketches he posted on his Deviant Art page. Now we get to see his Batgirl, Catwoman and Nightwing.
Daniel HDR posted a couple Batman's on his Tumblr this week. What made me smile was seeing a sketch of Spectreman! It's an old Japanese live-action-rubber monster show and I used to watch it on a syndicated channel when I was a kid everyday after school.
Chris Giarrusso also posted a Batman sketch on his website. These sketches are available for purchase when posted but some are already sold out. He also posted and is selling the original Image 20th Anniversary variant covers. They're not cheap but essentially one of a kind, being the original art for the covers. Check out his site for the prices.
Todd Nauck posted a variety pics on hist Instagram. It's great to see his work on different mediums.
Joel Gomez posted a cool Joker sketch on his Tumblr. I love the detail of wanted poster of Joker.
Skottie Young posted a couple more Daily Sketches on his website. They go on sale afterwards (and are usually purchased moments later).
Philip Tan is at it again. He posted some more sketches on his Facebook page.
There's a Mike Mayhew Hero Initiative FANTASTIC FOUR cover sketch up for sale on ebay. Mike posted some other sketches he's down lately on his Twitter.
Agnes Garbowska posted a few different sketches this week on her Tumblr. She also posted the WALKING DEAD Hero Initiative cover she did.
Mahmud Asrar posted the final version of a Rocketeer sketch he did for Comic Con Paris 2012 on his Tumblr.

Gene Gonzales posted a few Conventionless Convention Sketches on his blog.
As we wait for SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN to debut in January, Ryan Stegman posted a few sketches on his Tumblr.
Marcio Takara will be filling in for Francis Manapul on THE FLASH #18. Until then, check out the commissions and tiny characters he posted on his Tumblr.
That's it for this week. Hope you enjoyed the selections. As always, we'll have more next time as we find them during the week.
