Sketchbook Updates

[Ken O]

Since its been almost a year since I've posted here I figured I'd post the sketches I've gotten since then. And I promise not to fall off the face of the earth again. :biggrin:

Heroescon 08, Tony Harris!!
I've always tried to spread the word of Starman, so this one means a lot to me.

I believe someone on here (the Hellboard), once advised to have Con sketches be made into a sketchbook, rather than on loose paper. So that over time the number of sketches (preferably themed) would grow, for artists to flip through - before adding their piece. And that in such, an artist might get inspired better.

I believe Ken O possesss at least one prime example of a sketchbook like that!

Great theme too :cool:.

The sketchbook works in your favor in a number or ways. The artists knows their hard work isn't going to end up on ebay in a couple days and sometimes they want to one up the page infront of theirs.

[Kees_L]

Certainly.
Still taking my time with finding me a decent one 'though. Since any Con activity 'round here isn't frantic of frequency and since it's mostly artists I seem to have bonded with somewhat (like Barry Kitson). So, for their own limited sketchbook editions additions (reads problematic), they know where to find me.

EDIT: didn't quite catch the one-upping bit (like Super Mario?) :redface:

EDIT vol 2: I sometimes suspect to be reading wrong, Ken O. Yet I bet you made sense, before even extra-explaining (thx) - I get it now: 'topping it', 'to perfect'. And I see how such is working for your sketchbooks!!

Let me try to explain what I meant. Usually if there is a really good sketch on the page before the one the new artist is working on, they want to try to do a better sketch then the one before them. Hopefully that made more sense.

Very nice collection there, I'm jealous.

That's why, whenever I get an autograph, I make sure it says "To Catlin." After I specifically ask for that, the person signing usually lightens up drastically and we end up chatting, as he or she knows I'm really a fan.

Very cool, Ken. And unique, too.

Yes, I always prefer personalization too.
Upon my first artist asking: "Do you want it personalized?" I was like 'Try and stop me, respectively'... You know. Stuff made out to me is the icing.
And sold it won't be - only originals which I didn't get to buy off an artist personally might I sell. From over here, buying off some artists - :rolleyes: - seems not always easy.

Nice stuff TW! Glad to have you back around these parts. The board is far too nice & clean when you're not around. :biggrin:

As someone who has benefited from your efforts to spread that word I can only imagine how much this sketch must mean to you. You must be thrilled!

Those are all wonderful additions to your collection and I still love the theme. Yay to the Francesco drawing, too!

I hope I didn't ruin your book, Ken ;)

You should scan that penguin too at a certain point ;)
(say hi to Rachel for me please :))

Cheers,
