I'm so looking forward to this con. Its the only one I have been to but it was such a fun time. My Mom actually came (she's an graphic artist so being around artists was great for her) one year and scored a free Wasp sketch from Rand Arrington (local artist from Bad Monkey Brain). She had a great time. I'll be picking up my first commission this year so I'm supper psyched!

The Senator no longer shows first run movies. I believe the city did buy it and they are keeping it open. The sister theater, The Rotunda, is also back open and shows first run movies.

Does this CON have a large artist section? I'm always interested in getting sketches done, might have to bring my good sketch book.

Yeah...you got me there.... I'm trying to get my hands on a bunch of those blank covers so I can get some sketches done while I'm down there...

[MagnetoWasRight]

Could anyone fill me in on the price that the average artist charges for a sketch? Say I get a sketch done on one of those blank cover books...can I ask for any character? Do they all charge? Just wondering, cause I need get an idea of how many books to bring with me in the fall for the show. Thanks as always!

I've gotten most of my sketchbook sketches for free. A few of the sketches that I bought off of artists was $30 or $40. Obviously the big guys cost more. I think Tim Sale is $100 or $125, Luna Bros were $100 & $80, don't really know about others. I haven't really gotten into the sketches and OA too much.

 

My CAF page in my sig should have the sketches I've gotten. Most are sketchbook sketches but they are fun.
