Last commission for this year and it turned out awesome.

As some of you may know, or not, the two artists on the Phantom Stranger from the 1951-1952 series were Carmine Infantino and Sy Barry. Infantino's work speaks for itself, while Barry is best known for the Phantom. 

Sy Barry was a guest at the NY Christmas con this past weekend. Last year, he said he wasn't doing commissions or art anymore. Things changed.

I asked him to do a First Series Phantom Stranger for me, which clearly made him happy he wasn't being asked to draw yet another Phantom. So, he did a pencil head sketch (not quite what I wanted, but hey, I'll take it). Unfortunately, he didn't bring his inks with him, so, he took it back to finish with the promise he would send it to me in a few weeks.  Here is the pencil sketch, and if you are wondering, yes, I almost kept it without the inking. Do you think I should ask him to just send me the pencil drawing and do a new, full sized one with inking, too?

I sent him an email this morning to do exactly what you suggested. I hope he hasn't inked the pencil version yet (and that he reads email).

I was too late. He already inked it. Still, I expect it will be great.

At last Sunday's show in NY, I also had Barry Orkin do this little commission. For $75, it was a bargain. Let me add that I bought a copy of his graphic novel, Stoker & Wells, a reimagining of the origins of "The Time Machine" and Dracula. It was a fun read (and I thought he did such a nice job on the commission, it just seemed like the right thing to do). 

[Benedict Judas Hel]

I got these 11" x 17" commissions from Johnny Segura III starting with Vega and The Baroness:

 

My interaction with him was so positive and his prices so reasonable that I got a few more pieces for my niece and nephew, starting with Deadpool / Spider-Man for my nephew

 

And movie-verse Captain Marvel and Harley Quinn for my niece:

 

Then, I had them framed for their birthdays this month:

Two new S&S 100 faux covers commissions for Christmas. I've mentioned before and elsewhere that S&S made it to 98. DC did an issue 99 (DC Silver Age Classics Sugar and Spike 99, 1992), but there is no #100. There's lots of material that Sheldon did for the overseas market once he had cataract surgery so a 100th issue is possible. I'm preparing for that big even with variant covers to help out.  You can see them all here.

As usual, click on the image to see the full picture and learn more.
