I love when artist do this to mess with people who try to profit from someone else's talent. It's why i usually ask for the artist to personalize it so they don't think I'm trying to sell their work.

 

I asked Jock in London not to personalize my sketches. I don't want to sell them, but I just want the artists art and name on my blank and nothing else.

I don't know. If i got a signature or sketch i wouldn't want it personalized. Not because i have any intention of selling it but because i would just rather not have it there and yes it devalues the book should that person ever want to sell it down the road. I understand why some artists do it, seeing something you did as a favor for a "fan" and seeing it flipped on eBay the next day for a few hundred bucks would probably annoy me too.

If its a gift, I'm not going to sell it - personalize it. If you diden't charge me? Personalize it. If I paid for it, I should feel ok with selling it later on down the road as it's my purchased property.

 

My 2 :makepoint:

I'm no expert but from the handful of artist I've spoken to they feel much better about a personalized sketch than a non personalized one. To each their own, all my sketch covers are for my personal collection, and not for sale, so I like a little personalization.

 

But there are some of my sketch covers I've gotten where I actually forget to ask them to personalize it, typically if I get caught up in a convo witht he artist or other fans waiting in line.

They're not on blanks, but here are my two Lee's.

The Batman was a super quickie from NYCC 2 years ago. The Wolvie, Jim took some more time with and was a lot more detailed. Sketch wise it seems like Jim likes to draw casual style Wolvie as opposed to X-Men suited Wolvie. Maybe since he works with DC now, he can say that casual suited Wolvie is just some random cititzen in the DC universe as opposed to a Marvel character. :grin:
