ivdyer Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 (edited) Here are two new ones from Ash. First up is a piece I commissioned for WW Chicago before they canceled (bummer). There was a Psych episode called "Saving Darth Vader" hence the blank used. We added Corbin late due to his appearance at Salt Lake where it will be headed for his signature. Hopefully the guys show up at some point. I am sure they would get a kick out of this piece. Next up is what hat happens when your wife loves all things weather and you love comics. Everyone's lovable weatherman Al Roker running into the Storm with a NYC backdrop. . Edited August 21, 2017 by ivdyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The show is coming back for a Christmas movie on USA, so maybe there's more to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newshane Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 This one took my breath away when I unboxed it. Stunning. I like this piece better than almost any of his actual Spawn covers. I think he had a killer run with the series, and I had to see if I could land a commission. This is one of my favorite comics now! Thanks to Philip Tan and his representative - Kirk Dilbeck. Special thanks to Doug Peters for doing all of the handling. Doug, I couldn't be happier with the grade! WOW! Just over the moon.

ivdyer Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 (edited) A few new books from CGC....kudos to the artists involved and Doug Peters for facilitating the process on all levels Adi Granov based off his Curse of the Mutants cover. This one I posted earlier but here it is graded. Ash Gonzales with a rare and only one to my knowledge signature from Tim Blake Nelson This one was an odyssey. Anyone that knows me knows that I am one of those that care about the grade to a fault. Its a blessing and curse but my Type A personality serves me well in my profession but I have let go of some nice art because of the grade. Early in the year I took part in the John Timms sketch op via Doug Peters. I commissioned X-23 and Old Man Logan. I loved the sketch but it came back a 9.4. John was liberal with the ink and the back cover was littered with ink spots and a small bend was present on the front cover. I knew these things could be overcome so I added a Jae Lee Wolverine on the back and sent it for pressing. Jae was pretty meticulous and covered everything he saw, hence the birds in the background. The grade did improve but to a 9.6 with no grader notes. Through the case I still noticed some stray ink and spine tick. I spoke with my friend Ash Gonzales and we decided to give this cover another go with some addition of color which thoroughly cover the font and back cover.........and I could not be happier with the results. Sometimes its not about the final product but the journey it took to get there. Edited September 1, 2017 by ivdyer Ron C. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron C. Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Just back from a wonderful, crowded, awesome Fan Expo Canada (Toronto). My original cover of Negan by Frank A. Kadar had a blank back cover so when the opportunity to have Tony Moore sketch the back cover was available....I had to go along for the ride.

ivdyer Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 (edited) Ash took his time with this one. It's an epic piece for Van Dyke and Rooker. Went with the Mary Poppins theme, easily one of my favorites. Edited September 5, 2017 by ivdyer Ron C. and UnboxingTreasures 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealVenom Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 (edited) Got these done at Fan Expo Canada. All these are with cgc back to Florida for grading. I couldn't be any happier! Iv'e wanted a sketch from Adam Hughes for years but he won't sketch on blanks so I lucked out and got a quick catwoman head sketch from him! Also been a huge Zombie tramp fan since the begining. This is the second piece iv'e gotten done by Dan. I asked for a sexy Janey in catwoman cosplay and well he delivered! NSFW!!! Children look away!! Third piece I got was from the ever talented and extremely beautiful Dawn McTeigue. This is my 3rd sketch from her now. I asked for a sexy but savage X23 and left a lot of creative freedom up to her. Suffice to say I'm beyond happy. She is actually turning this piece into an art print to sell and should be available at NYCC this year. This is the first time one of my sketches has been picked to turn into an art print. Again scroll down at your own risk! NSFW zombie tramp below!!!
