Julie Newmar as Catwoman

Johanna as Catwoman

It's funny and amazing how a favorite childhood tv show can effect my art even as an adult. As a little kid, my absolute favorite tv show was the 66' Batman series, and in particular i fell madly in love with Julie Newmar's Catwoman. Something about her height, her voice, and her almost-dominatrix personality really drove my young hormones. I recently became friends with a beautiful woman named Johanna and as i was looking through the collection of photos i came across a photo of Julie Newmar and was amazed how similar Julie and Johanna's faces were. I couldn't resist doing a little sketch of Johanna as the 60's era Catwoman.
