Came across these signatures from SVCC, the sad part is they're all real... These are just unrecognizable, except the last one where stan signed over Jack Kirby's signature and was literally drawing circles on the cover before being corrected by his handlers. What happened to all of his last appearance announcements in 2016? Every con he attended was claimed his last, but I figure that was all bull ...

Decided to pull the trigger on this last week, don't see John Romita Sr. sketches too often! John nailed the half Spider-Man/ Peter Parker look. such a classic image IMO. Might be able to get a copy of this inked by Joe Sinnott soon...

Don't forget a rhino

Already have him on the layouts! Was originally planning on having David Finch sketch him, but Buscema would also be a great fit...

Oh man!! Can't believe I missed this, been trying to get a commission from Sal for some time. @Celestial Comics So I should check back in June for the next one then? Also wondering if I supply paper, would it still HAVE to be the size of a backing board? I started this amazing spider-man 100 recreation back in 2017, where I have each character sketched by a different artist. Although, the paper is approx 13x17, each head is around 3" so it would almost be like a remark. please lmk if this would be possible, would be awesome if Sal contributed to this project, Ron Frenz will probably be sketching the full body spider-man later this month, but maybe that could change 

@Kevin Boyd Is it true that David Finch and Andy Kubert are some of the comic guests attending the 2018 show!? On comic sketch art's site it says the two are accepting pre con commissions for Toronto Fan Expo so I figure there're attending.

2017 definitely wasn't my best year for comics, purchased many 80s and 90s Amazing Spider-Man books, nothing too major. BUT....... I really focused on original art and signatures, 2017 was my first full year of collecting OA, and I plan on picking many more commissions up next year.  

The first image is a picture of my first jam piece, a recreation of the classic Amazing Spider-Man 100 cover. As you can see, I am yet to add Spider-Man (Hoping to have Ron Frenz do the honors in 2018) but did manage to add some pretty big names in just 4 months! Some include Adam Hughes, Humberto Ramos, Joe Sinnott, Adi Granov, Mike Zeck, Clayton Crain, and a few others. Each head/ character will be drawn by a different artist, so a lot of thought went into pairing the artists with characters, layouts were done on a separate page. My goal is to add some legends next year, McFarlane and Romita would be nice haha

The next image is a 11x17 full body Venom commission, drawn by Mark Bagley. Without a doubt my favorite Venom piece in my collection.

Another one of my best accusations of the year is the original cover art to Ben Reilly: Scarlet Spider issue 2, drawn by Mark Bagley. Before Niagara Falls comic con, I had picked up the issue and right away loved the cover, just like all of other Bagley's works. Anyways, I met Bagley a week later and has luck may have it, he was selling the OA to the cover! Could not pass it up, and pulled the trigger on it for a great deal.

And lastly is my runner up, a Spider-Man sketch drawn by Adam Kubert. It may not be the most detailed piece of OA, but it surely is one of my favorites and means a lot to me. I have been collecting the Peter Parker: Spectacular Spider-Man series since issue 1 up until 298 and have been loving it! Kubert's artwork is amazing, and I had to send a letter to him, saying how much I'm enjoying his work on the series. Sure enough, a couple weeks later I was surprised by a package from Kubert, and was excited when I found out Adam had done a Spider-Man sketch for me! Can't thank him enough for it, really hope he stays on PPSM for a long time.

Anyone know how to get on Adam Kubert's sketch or remark list, or if he still takes requests?

At a con I attended in September, Adam wasn't sketching at all

Comic guests are being announced this week. Dealer and artist alley applications have been flooding in. 

Will the artists be announced today? Thanks

Was asked by some to continue to post updates on my current Jam piece I'm working on. If you don't already know, I'm recreating the cover of Amazing Spider-Man 100 and am having each character drawn by a different artist.

So far sketches have been obtained from Fan Expo Canada, Baltimore comic con, and Monroe comic con. My latest update is a Clayton Crain Carnage and a Keith Pollad Black Cat (who is the co created of her), they both nailed it! Included some pictures below, and a list of the artists I have obtained. Hoping to add a Mark Bagley full body Spider-Man and a Liefeld vulture at La Comic Con. My goal is to some how get J Scott Campbell on this. The paper is 13x17

Adam Hughes- Gwen Stacy

Mike Zeck- Punisher

Humberto Ramos- Green Goblin

Erik Larsen- Dr. Octopus 

Ed McGuinness- Mysterio

Adi Granov- Venom

Joe Jusko- Electro

Clayton Crain- Carnage

Keith Pollard- Black Cat

This will be a pencil only commission, but I do plan on getting copies inked and colored and make a very limited amount of prints of a pencil, inked and a colored version. Let me know if anyone is interested in one

Are you aiming to get head sketches of all different artists? Looks cool! 

Thank you! I'm planning to recreate the ASM 100 cover and each character drawn by a different artist. I'm hoping to have Bagley do the full body Spider-Man in the middle 

Fan Expo was great! I my self only went Thursday but at least it wasn't too crowded, the best day to get sketches and signatures. Also got a good start on this project I'm working on...

@Skizz @Michael (OML)1 Thanks fellas! Going to be posting updates on comicartfans my name is the same as this one. Might be getting Crain, Pollard, and Finch on it soon.....

@Kevin Boyd so comic sketch art is accepting submissions for Kubert at Fan Expo? Is that the only way for me to obtain one from him or will he be doing sketches at his booth now as well? Just trying to plan a head to see if I should still go to the con on Saturday too. Thanks 

@Kevin Boyd will Adam Kubert be doing convention sketches? Couldn't get his VIP ticket in time but am still looking to add a quick head sketch to a project I'm working on. Thanks

Does anyone know what Jim Lee charges for a signature? looking to get all 29 Trading Card covers signed and witnessed

 

I'm pretty sure I heard on Fan Expo's twitter that Jim Lee will be signing only one item per person for free, not sure if that's changed or not 

Do you guys recommend any colorists attending Fan Expo? Thinking of getting a few of my commissions there colored but not too familiar with them other then Delgado 

Hey Kevin, do you happen to know Humberto Ramos'es sketch rates at Fan Expo? really hoping to pick up a colored Spidey torso, going to his booth first thing on Thursday so I'm not too late. I'm aware that his commission list fills very fast. Other than Jim lee, Will most comic guests be attending Thursday and Friday as well? Thanks

- Dan

The signature looks real, its hard to tell with the sketch, where did you purchase it? Some parts of it matches his style in the early 90s but parts of it do not.

I am planning on buying the John Romita Sr program from his recent gallery in NY website, and was hoping to get it signed. When is his next signing? Thanks
