Does Jim Lee do sketches at cons?
:signfunny:

 

Impossible to get Jim Lee to do a sketch.

 

Actually Danny, it's not impossible. He does do sketches for people from time to time --- usually it's a quickie in the front of a Batman: Hush hardcover, but there are people I know who have Jim Lee sketches in their collections.

 

Such as

I would just say it's unlikely for Jim to sketch at a major convention because of time constrictions.

According to the Baltimore con's MySpace page: the following guests have cancelled their appearances at the con next weekend:

 

- Gene Colan

- Mike Grell

- John Romita Sr.

- David Finch

 

According to Guy Davis, BPRD writer John Arcudi and editor Scott Allie are attending the convention. http://www.guydavisartworks.com/mainFrameset2.htm

 

The MySpace page also says that Jamal Igle, Sean Chen and Bernard Chang are going to be at the show.

 

The MySpace page does conflict with the main site, which still lists Gene Colan and David Finch as attending.

Not true. Jim has done 4 sketches for me. 2 sketch cards, one fallen son, and a backer boards.

 

The Fallen son and the Backer Board were not personalized to me. but the sketch cards were.

 

The backer board and one of the sketch cards were for friends. But the fallen son and the other sketch card are mine.

If I remember correctly, the Fallen Son was done at the FCBD signing in Phoenix, this past May (and Todd McFarlane sketched on the back!).

Jim has done sketches for me too: a backing board sketch, at least 2 blank Gen 13 #1 covers, and a nice one inside a Jim Lee Wizard Millenium Edition hardcover book. Most of these were for customers, I wonder if I have those Gen 13 #1 sketches. (Most of these involved a donation to CBLDF, one of his favorite charities) It really depends on his mood, when during the convention you see him/ask for it, how you ask for it, etc.

 

Personally, I think he would do more sketches, but he is tired of doing free sketches and seeing them on eBay for big bucks. That's why money/donations helps "free up" his drawing arm. :) The key is to be nice, ask for personalization so he knows you will keep it and not resell it, and if possible, bring a sketchbook so he knows you won't rip it out and try to resell it.

 

I am very bummed about Gene Colan and already knew about Romita Sr. Dave Finch is a surprise, but come to think of it, he is probably busy with his wife about to pop out a baby Finch. :)

 

It still sounds like a great show. Have fun to everyone who is going!
