Harley Quinn - THE JOKE’S ON YOU / Bazal. 11,7x 8,3 in.

"bad girls don’t ask for permission"

This illustration presents Harley Quinn in a bold, provocative pose, fully aware of her chaotic charm. Ángel Bazal captures the antiheroine in a moment of dangerous playfulness, where her mischievous smile and direct gaze break the fourth wall and turn the viewer into an accomplice. The use of black and red ballpoint pen reinforces the character’s essential duality: sweetness and violence, humor and threat. The cross-hatching is dense and energetic, building volume and motion with an almost obsessive intensity. Red acts not only as a visual accent but as a symbol of impulsiveness, madness, and desire. The composition highlights Harley’s exaggerated curves and defiant attitude, removing her from any victim role and placing her as the absolute owner of the scene. Her expression asks for neither approval nor forgiveness—it serves as a warning. This Harley is not uncontrolled chaos, but a conscious choice to live without rules, laughing while holding the danger herself.
