Cover artist or interior artist?

[dicjones]

If the cover artist is different than the interior artist...who do you get to sign the book?

[Evil Uncle]

both

[Chespirito]

BOTH!!!!!!, cover artist puts head sketch ..

[littlebill]

both. then the writer. then if it is a new book i throw me a couple legends on there that had something to do with the character be it creating or a long time writer or artist.

If i had to choose one, cover

Stan Lee...

[MedicAR]

Wolverine. Stan Lee and Wolverine.

 

Stan Lee is to the CGC SS world as Wolverine is to the Marvel Universe. Each of them appears way too often on stuff that's just dumb.

[Mac Man]

Both. And don't forget the writer. Shoot, if the editor is someone of note, get them too! But... there should be some tenable connection to the book / content. I do draw a line somewhere

Indeed. Earlier in the week when this thread popped up --> "Would you get a sig on a book if person created the character but never drew him" I almost commented "some people would have Stan Lee sign a bible if it was nearby", but I abstained.

[Delvie]

but I abstained.

 

OOPS! Blew that!

Interesting subject.

Personally I wouldn't sign this book:

I drew the interiors but not the cover. The signature right belongs to the cover artist.

Thats just me.

You could sign on the splash page.

[littlebill]

signing anywhere but on the cover wouldnt do any good if it is going to be a cgc ss book.

 

so mac you are saying if someone walked up with the book and told you how much your work meant to them and that you were their favorite artists you would just turn them down? i can understand that to a degree but with cgc ss the sig would never be seen if not signed on either front or back covers.

 

im far from being an artist. stick people is about the best i can do but with you being a major part of the comic. signing on the front cover would be ok in my opinion. obviously if someone asked and you declined they would have to respect that since you are not the cover artist. im glad simon doesnt feel that way. he is a hero of mine and to have him on any captain america cover is awesome to me.

Of course i would sign the book if the artist that drew the cover signed it as well. I would sign the inside since thats what i drew. My personal feeling and that doesnt mean that i would be a bunghole about signing is that the credit belongs to the artist

responsible for the cover. Ive signed books solely on the fact that ive worked with the company that produced the book,if a fan wants my sig,hey ill sign. Im not heartless.

[littlebill]

been a long time since i heard anyone use the word bunghole. i think that last person was my grandmother. she has been gone now for fifteen years. im glad you wouldnt be a bunghole.

[Delvie]

I've signed covers just because I was helping out Billy @ his booth. They met me, we gabbed, I apparently made an impression. I told them, "dude. You really don't want my sig. I have nothing to do w/ these books aside from a fan & a pusher." They insisted, so I signed & drew stick figures sword fighting.

Thanks, that is exactly the kind of input was looking for. The basis for my question was more about how the artist might feel signing a book with a cover he didn't do. I wouldn't want to make them feel weird when I asked for a sig and as a result forced them into an awkward situation.
