Lately I have been messing about with Adobe Photoshop (although, merely just Photoshop Elements 2.0). As I was browsing the forum today, I came across an image of Gordon Brown as the Joker. This reminded me of a past idea I’d had of Jim Carrey playing as The Joker in The Dark Knight, and inspired me to finally create the image above.

The original image itself was this:

I am still VERY new to photo manipulation, so someone with a deeper understanding of Photoshop will most likely be able to come up with something better. My image was done purely by using liquify techniques, and adjusting the hue/saturation of multiple layers.

This is by no means done disrespectfully towards the late Heath Ledger, I am sure he will do an excellent job of being The Joker in the new Batman movie. I just thought I would try this partly as an experiment (I will go on to photoshopping myself next) and as I had Jim Carrey in mind (favourably) before the role of The Joker was publicly announced for The Dark Knight.
