My daughter just went savage on Arthur Suydam 3 3

[bisquitodoom]

Some really nice ones in there!  

I'd have torn out the Suydam too.

Golden was out of the scene for years and then came out on the convention circuit and he and his rep accepted money in advance for commissions. Then silence. A group of 4 or so decided they had enough and sent a legalish letter saying get'er done (even though this was kind of saying skip us to the top of the list, I know as I was on the list but not one who was involved in the letter). So he got'em done, and sent some class-less lettering on them as well. Professionally drawn but insulting the buyers. The only one shared publicly (as far as I know) has a misspelling and said "Patience is a virue Mr. Turnbull" (Mr Turnbull seems an awesome guy, although we have never met.) it also appears to be Doc thumbing his nose or blowing a raspberry to Mr Turnbull.

Ahh, I see. That definitely sounds like Golden. I will always remember my first interaction with him… not fondly, either.

I just bid on it. I want the burn video option. 

Outbid. 

Need to check back later.

Didn't Suydam get in trouble for taking over other artist's space at cons? 

Classless guy it seems.

Yes. Assigned one table, would take up three.

Tiffleberry should have gone on Sunday when “I do free sketches for kids.”

Now that I’m thinking about it… I do think it might’ve been a Sunday when he did this to me. His was the last sketch I got at that convention, and we always attended cons for all three days.

Love the eBay auction description!

Hopefully not too off topic... I've heard of others having bad experiences with Michael Golden. FWIW, he did this Bug commission for me overnight at a convention last fall. So hopefully things are better for others too recently.

Speaking of that Suydam convention sketch... That's the first time I've seen a Marvel Zombie Punisher Logo. (The original one)

Bumped again for the personalized option and still outbid.

My bid was topped 2 days ago.

Hi, I am the daughter in question here. I was actually only 11 when I had this interaction with Arthur. I only got told “no” on one occasion. It was Michael Golden at the Dallas Comic Convention. I will never forget that interaction either. Although a few years later I did get Michael Golden to do a Bugs Bunny sketch for my younger brother. 

I was always very respectful to artists, and I was actually quite shy as a kid. My dad having me go get sketches on my own was what got me over that social anxiety. There was kind of a running joke that a lot of the artists went along with in my sketchbook about me needing to talk more. I’m glad my dad gave me the opportunity and freedom to meet all the amazing artists I did.

Thanks for sharing this, glad you didn't let the bad experience from one or two crappy artists make you lose your interest and love of comics and art, and tarnish your memories with your dad.  

Also, I saw your Herb Trimpe Hulk sketch and it made me laugh when he added (with an I) to your sketch.

I would've give Suydam a pass had he posted this Photoshopped pic with tongue in cheek, but for him or his people to deny the photo was doctored is beyond redonkulous. Nobody in line is holding a single g.d. comic and not one person with a roll-e-cart can be found. And two people are wearing shades--indoors!

I think those interactions had some value in that they taught me that even people you look up to can be jerks. I will always cherish those memories with my dad. 

It makes me laugh too! Even though I was shy, I always made it a point to tell the artists that I am “Tiffani with an I” when I asked for it to be personalized. If you notice the EBAS sketch I posted, Eric said it’s not spelled with a Y, it’s actually a heart over the i when I pointed out that he misspelled my name. I love that each sketch has a story.

That's pretty funny. I bet those extra people were added to hide whatever other artist's banner might otherwise have been prominently displayed across the aisle. It's a pretty slapdash effort in retrospect, but it survives a quick glance.

Oh man four days left there’s a very good chance “we” can help make this stamped sketch free after all.

Tell your friends. BID BID WIN

Maybe the artist can commemorate the eBay sale. Piggy back off the event and sell a stamped, signed, limited edition photoshopped picture of the hundreds of fans in line watching as he poured his blood sweat and tears into your daughters zombie punisher.

 

* ps found this picture taken of dad the moment he saw what his daughter paid $20 for.
