Heroes cover auction
It's the holiday season and I've just posted a new eBay auction! It's the original art from the Heroes Volume 2 graphic novel collection. As I write, there are no bids and it stands it 1 cent (minus shipping and insurance....).
It's india ink on archival Bristol paper, with a correction over Elle's face. Also an un-creased dust jacket I received as a color proof. It'd make a nice Christmas gift for the TV geek in your life (and we're all geeks here, no?). Click the images for a larger image:
On the news front, tonight I know a lot less about my plans for next year than I thought I did. For a while I was sure I was going to go with Dynamite, and then Vertigo. I swear this isn't just a negotiating position, but the offers are both good and there are a few quantum unknowns that I'll just have to wait to settle down before I can make an informed opinion. Looks like I'll be looking for short projects for a few months after I get done with Top 10!
More on Bilbao. I got to hang out with two legends of the comics industry, Michael Golden and Arthur Suydam. I pretty much just exchanged pleasantries with Arthur while we signed and sketched. I never even got a photo of him, as he never came to lunch or dinner with the group. That's too bad, as I'm a huge fan of his work.
Click the link, is that not the best picture of Red Sonja ever? He's got the painting chops of Golden Age of American Illustration artists (and I don't mean comics' golden age) like N.C. Wyeth.
I did get to spend time with another artist I admire, Michael Golden and his rep, the sweet little Renée Witterstaetter. It being Spain, he did lots of free sketches for everyone he could during our signing. I traded sketches with him after hours, and it was sweet, but honestly he worked just as hard on the free ones.
This is actually one of the sketches I collect for friends who can't make it to conventions. The concept is that I'll get a one page "script sketch" from a writer of one story beat. Then I'll get an artist to interpret the script, or draw the whole thing if he's ambitious! Anyhow, there were no native anglophone writers about, so Mike decided to draw an image with a blank page before and a blank word balloon, and let a future comics writer 'fumetti' the page.
I've got to draw more Top 10 now. If you're on Facebook go to my page to find more images from Bilbao, Spain, and if you've got some cash bid on that Heroes cover!
