I picked this piece up off of eBay last year and I know Billy Tucci did the bottom storm but can anyone figure out who did the top storm? I want to add to this and would love to be able to keep track . 

Thanks

oy, that's a tough one.

I was thinking joe Jusko perhaps but seems a little messy for his sig.

That Tucci is sweet!

Thanks for trying Sean.. I love the Tucci and like the other one too... now if I can just find out who it is. I want to try to add a third one on the bottom right next month at East Coast. Not sure who yet...

I do not think so... If I remember correctly the seller I got it from said they were both done at SDCC a few years ago, there was a name attached to the listing when I bought it and I thought I wrote it down somewhere but can not find it. Also I can not look at the old listing any longer.

Not so sure about that top piece . . . the inking lacks finesse and looks shaky in parts?  Sorry, it's my honest opinion.

Totally fair.

So Kav then.

So I reached out to the seller on Ebay and surprisingly got an answer... Matt Flint is the artist. I found him online, seems to do a bunch of cons, but I do not see any published stuff.

No CAF presence for Matt Flint and a google search yields results for an artist who specializes in wildlife paintings (totally disconnected to comic-book stuff).  The signature on display for the close-up of the upper drawing you provided doesn't really correspond to the name 'Matt Flint' (looks more like, A . . . A . . . ).  

Problem with buying unpublished drawings from eBay sellers is that it's rife with problems over what, exactly, it is that you're buying.  I'm no expert on Tucci artwork, but from a little investigation on my behalf the face (on the bottom character) does appear to be authentic.  Not my intention to rain on your parade, but you did ask, and I'd hate to think that you might have been stung.

I came up with the same search results on the wildlife paintings then when I added the word comic to the search I got the below results.

I reached out to Matt on FB and he's confirmed that the drawing is his.  Signatures are poles apart, but the artist tells me he recently changed his way of signing art.  Problem solved and I'm happy for you that the art's authentic.
