Jesse E. Larson (J.E. Larson), an artist based in Rochester, Minnesota, brings a unique, gothic touch to his work on Batman, drawing clear inspiration from Edward Gorey’s distinctively eerie and whimsical style. Larson’s art is deeply influenced by his love for Victorian nonsense, the dark visuals of German expressionism, and classic monster movies. His sketches of Batman from an unfinished project echo these phantasmagorical themes, weaving together shadows and atmosphere in a way that recalls Gorey’s aesthetic.
Beyond his illustration work, J.E. Larson embraces a range of eclectic titles that capture his playful spirit. He’s been known to dabble in barbering, grave-digging, and broomstick-watching, while occasionally finding time for chimney-sweeping, crayoning, and hiding in bell towers. However, it is his role as an illustrator that shines brightest, with his work offering a visually captivating, gothic twist on classic characters and stories.
