Karl Kesel was the fourth artist I approached on that giddy day when I first tried getting sketches. I was still a bit wobbly, but definitely was feeling heartened by the amazingly positive response from the first three guys (Dev Madan, Aaron Lopresti, and Mark Brill). I cannot say that this one turned out to be my favorite of the day, simply because trying to pick a favorite from that day would be incredibly difficult. But it is a great sketch, and one I love coming back to visit.

One more for the fish count. I think that gets me up to ten. This fish is getting a look from Aquaman, which it doesn't seem to notice. I love it! And isn't it a cool fish, too? I seem to recall that at the time of this sketch, Superboy was Kesel's big book, and he was I think returning to it or had just returned. I remember getting a Superboy book signed by Kesel, but I'm not entirely sure which one.
To see all the sketches I have permission to post so far, check out my Sketchbook Page. If you have any contact information for any of the other artists I'm trying to contact, please e-mail me. Click for a random Aquaman sketch.
