It depends on the artist, but for the most part it's pretty easy. Witnesses make it even easier, god bless their souls lol

 

I am not a witness and I have gotten many sketches on my own and others through the good folks on these very boards.

Aside from actual cost how difficult / easy is it to obtain sketches from some of the more prominent artists at a given convention?

 

Is it easier to go through a witness or do you need to have the right connections?

 

Examples:

 

Jim Lee - Usually sketches free for the first 5 people... sometimes more, but after that ZIPPO. All personalized

 

Neal Adams - No line, but $500 bucks

 

Tony Moore - First 5 people (usually people with dealers passes :P)

All I can recommend is to get there early and try to the be the first in line. I personally don't mind waiting. But my time limit is usually three hours. After that, I just go to my usual guys for sketches. :)

You Texas guys need to make sure you check out the Dallas Comic Con scene.

 

http://www.scifiexpo.com/DCC/Home.html

 

They hold 4 shows a year: 2 comic, 1 sci fi, and 1 star wars.

 

In January, they had Herb Trimpe, Thomas Jane, Bernie Wrightson, Howard Chaykin and more.

 

In March, they had James O'Barr, Brian Denham, Andrew Mangum, and more.

 

In August, they had J. Scott Campbell and Mitch Breitweiser (thanks again, Kris).

 

In two weeks, Adam Hughes will be there with Ray Park, Anthony Daniels, and Hayden P. from Heroes.

 

I used to think that the loss of WWTX left me with nothing, but these shows are pretty good.
