Sketches in Hardcovers - Anyone else collect these? 0

[Captain Canuck]

Awesome! Unfortunately I have not seen a lot of these artists in Toronto and when they do come, they are too busy to sketch. Even if you bring one of their large hard cover books.

I asked Jeffrey for a "dingy angel" and this is what she came up with.

someone started a new similar thread but I'll add here too, I love getting sketches/remarques in books. I have over 50 in a gallery on CAF:

Some favorites are by Mark Texeira, Mark Schultz, and Darwyn Cooke:

I've never been huge on inside sketches, mostly cause I find it hard to display them (the only way to see them is to actually pull out the book and open it up). 

If I really loved the sketch I'd want it on my wall sometimes, but I'd never want to tear it out of the book.

That said, inside sketches have a very personal feel... Almost cozy, and I can see how they appeal to others. 

It would be a neat feeling to open up a copy of something and see a sketch for the first time, especially if I didn't know it was going to be there.
