Comic Book Collectors

I'm loving everybody's sketches they're posting! I need to get mine on here too!

When you this Rudy Nebres Conan sketch above, you can see why the Iron Fist he drew for us is one of my favorite pieces in ANY area of my collection! Comics or otherwise. His version looks a bit more muscular than the Power-Man and Iron Fist we probably all grew up seeing. Not quite Conan muscles, but you get it. And he used that same blue drawing pencil so many artists begin their work with, I love it! It's the one I've got in the very first slot in our album! Nebres is better-known as an Inker, and we know the dude can draw, but I wasn't expecting THAT from him! I'm sure your Conan gave you a similar reaction. Congratulations! I like that this is a way for a younger generation-myself included, as I'm 32-to notice and gain respect for an under-rated legend like Nebres! Thanks for sharing yours!

I got an awesome head sketch of Swamp Thing from Phil Hester on wednesday using the address justinsdad posted, ty Mr.Hester and jd.

So far I have been sending index cards out for sketches, im very new to sketch collecting and just wanted to check with the community at large and make sure that there is not a better option. Any help would be much appreciated

At just about any art/hobby store, you can find art cards, or sketch cards, and that's what I use. There are different styles but they're all the same size of regular sports trading cards, and the type I use are the Bristol Smooth, there are 20 per pack and they're usually around 3 dollars. For postage, this is as cheap to mail as it gets. For storage, I really don't think it could get any easier either, as they fit in normal 9-pocket card pages. Plus, I like to think there's a psychological thing to it too. Lol. Sounds dumb, but if I ask for a full-page drawing, or just something large like the comic book backing board, I feel it increases the odds I won't have any response at all, or they'll ask for their commission fee. But if I'm just asking for something quick and small, they'd be more likely to fulfill that request!

We HAVE to send thank you notes to them though! And that's one thing i need to catch up on, but they're using their own time to do this favor for a stranger! And as an artist myself, I know this is how these guys feed their families! So sending a thank you note is the least we can do!

I actually became familiar with Rudy when i saw he was a guest at a local con last year. I didnt get to meet him there but his convention appearences are keeping him around with some even younger people, I am 19 haha. And id love to see the Iron Fist he drew you, thats what i asked from him so im a little jealous but im very happy with the Conan sketch. And thank you for the advice on sketch cards ill definately look into it

And yet another success from one of Justinsdads addresses. Klaus Janson was nice enough to sketch me Daredevil, and sign 3 marvel trading cards for me. [/url[URL=http://s823.photobucket.com/user/James_Hulce/media/Mobile%20Uploads/KIMG0014_zps6be53076.jpg.html]

Thanks,
