MY OTHER JOB

Matt Murdock is a blind attorney living in Hell's Kitchen, New York. By day, he fights for justice in the courtroom. By night, he fights for justice as Daredevil, a vigilante who uses his heightened senses to battle crime on the streets. This duality, man of law versus masked crusader lies at the heart of his character.

The illustration is rendered in a hybrid style that blends vintage comic techniques with a modern edge. A textured background and bold black linework evoke the classic ink-on-paper aesthetic, paying homage to the medium's roots while pushing it forward.

But this piece is more than just fan art it's a visual thank-you. A thank-you to the writers and artists who have shaped Matt Murdock over the decades. A thank-you to the actors, especially Charlie Cox, who gave him a compelling on-screen presence that so many people adore.

The original comic panel this is based on is brimming with personality. Recreating it using Charlie Cox’s likeness wasn’t about imitation it was about translation. I aimed to capture not only his physical features, but also the essence he brings to the role: the quiet confidence, the wit, and the layered complexity.

This moment Matt making devil horns with a knowing smirk is cheeky and symbolic. It visually and textually nods to the tension between his two lives: the lawyer and the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen. It’s clever, meaningful, and unmistakably Murdock.
