Just added: Sal Buscema Sketch Op Don Perlin Sketch Op

SKETCH OPPORTUNITY DON PERLIN $150 HEAD SKETCH $275 FULL BODY SKETCH (no background) This price is for pencil and inked. No color. Price does NOT include grading. Grading will be $40 per book. You can choose either a blank cover (that you supply) or a blank backing board (that we supply). Return shipping is $25 to a US address or $50 to a Canadian address. Other international address must be quoted upon request. If using PayPal as your payment method, please send payments to sales@celestial-comics.com and using friends and family is appreciated. Payment MUST be received by DWE to confirm a slot in the sketch op. NO EXCEPTIONS! Don't miss this sketch op. Since Don no longer does shows, these opportunities are extremely limited. This will be first come, first served. Your spot is NOT reserved until full payment has been received. If you are having a blank cover shipped to DWE, a completely filled out submission form must be shipped with the book or emailed to Chandler@desertwindcomics.com. Any blank covers shipped to DWE from a third party seller MUST be shipped the following way on the shipping label. Your name c/o Desert Wind Enterprises 2421 Tech Center Court, Suite 100 Las Vegas, NV 89128 We will NOT be responsible for trying to figure out where your blank cover is if your name is NOT on the label AND if Desert Wind is not on the label the package may be refused by our mail receiving facility. FOR THOSE WHO QUESTION WHAT WE OFFER PLEASE READ: Basically the reason we only offer backing boards is because they are standard, where as there are so many types of paper available. Years ago we offered sketch paper and one customer didn’t like it and felt it wasn’t to his specifications and returned the sketch and charged back on his credit card on us. And then other people were asking us for specific size paper, specific weight paper, sketching boards. It got out of hand so we decided that we would offer one standardized material and the customer was welcome to send us anything else they wanted as long as the customer understands they will get a pencil and inked 8x10 sketch. That is all. Here are a few examples of head and full body sketches. Space is limited so don’t wait. Payment required to secure a spot.
