I have never started a "new art day" thread usually I just post the updates in the "This week in your ORIGINAL ART collection?" thread but this art is special to me (even though it isn't the most expensive piece of art) and I am still having a hard time believing its in my collection.
I while ago I set out to add a Gotham Central piece to my collection. I hit all the regular channels and even reached out to Michael Lark about any pages he may still have hidden in a corner. Well, it turned out he did have some. He sent them to Mark Hay at Slashpage art who I got in touch with about buying a nice page. Mark kept me in the loop told me about some great Joker pages he now had and emailed me just moments after they went live to his site. It was literately 5 minutes after they went live that i went to the site but, in that short time the amazing Joker pages I wanted had sold. I felt disappointed but did manage to pick up a nice half page splash of a pivotal moment in the book (Renee kicking Carrigan's butt) . You can see that page here...

So with that I thought I was done and moved on. Then a few days later, I received an email from the owner of numerous covers to the series. If you have read the series, which you should if you haven't, then you know Batman doesn't appear very often and he is usually just implied when he does so, to be able to add a cover from Gotham Central with said implied Batman was just awesome. Shortly after the first email we struck a deal and this cover to Gotham Central #3 is now part of my little collection.
