I hadn't meant to make this a week of fan art, but when preparing yesterday's pic, I found this one that I had prepared but never posted. Today, I'll correct that oversight.

My apologies to artist More979 of Uruguay. This was, I think, among the earliest fan art pieces I found of Booster in his New 52 costume. I think this drawing does a fine job of (unintentionally) demonstrating how bad an idea those extra gold bands on the upper arms and neck are. In More979's loose, cartoon style, the bands read as tiger stripes, not technology. Obviously, that's something I blame on Booster's New 52 costume design, not More979.

If you were even halfway paying attention, you might have heard the "big news" regarding a particular sidekick that the New York Post broke yesterday. (If you haven't, you're the lucky one, then.) The important side effect of this news is that now the DCnU now has an opening for our favorite sidekick, Skeets!

To celebrate this great news, create your own Skeets papercraft model!

Go to CyberDrone's Deviant Art page to download a full-size template, print it out, cut it up, and fold your own Skeets paper model. Once you've done that, rest easy knowing that DC can never take it away from you.

When your friends care enough to give the very best, they'll give you a Booster Gold sketch.

As you can tell from the inscription, that's a sketch that former Young Justice artist Todd Nauck gave former Booster Gold inker Norm Rapmund for Rapmund's birthday last week. Getting a picture of Booster Gold for your birthday? Now that's friendship!

You can find a larger version of the sketch on Nauck's Tumblr site, and the original black and white outline (plus many other cool drawings) on his Instagram page.

I don't speak Spanish, but I know gold when I see it.

According to the Spanish-language website of the Argentine illustrator Jeremias Janikow, this sketch is of "Buster Gold (el banana del futuro)." With a subtitle like that, I have to suspect that calling Booster "Buster" is an intentional slight. Poor Booster. No respect even in Argentina.

When I first spotted this image, I had no idea what "mate cocido" was. According to Wikipedia, I now know that it is a tea-like drink prepared from the yerba mate plant that is popular in South America. The things that you learn running a Booster Gold fansite!

This is just one of several exceptional superheroes sketches by Janikow that can be found on Janikow Blog!. Thanks to The Day the Web Stood Stupid for drawing this tasty art to our attention.

Pay attention all of you who don't love Booster Gold's original high collar. Even if it isn't high fashion, Booster Gold always makes it look good!

Australia's Jeffery "CHAMBA" Cruz knows who's bringing the sexy back. You can find more of Cruz's animation-inspired art under his pen name, theChamba, over at DeviantArt.com.
