Just because I'm on the road doesn't mean I'm likely to avoid posting, right? Here's this week's Saturday Sketch ™.
Another San Diego 2000 Comicon sketch, drawn a little over four years ago. When I got this sketch from Al, I also bought five "Tiny Toons" pages, pencils only, from him for hubby-Eric. Eric wrote a piece of fanfic many years ago based on "Tiny Toons" and "Quantum Leap" which has become something of a classic among those who pay attention to such things. Anyway, I knew Eric would love the pages, so I got them. And Al drew this awesome sketch of a tooney Aquaman.

As a reminder: Almost every sketch in my sketchbook was non-commissioned and done on the floor of a con. These are not the best works of the artists. These are only representative of what the artist can do under pressure in a loud, crowded, and often stressed-out environment. Most of them were done as quickly as possible, to prevent huge lines from forming. Don't judge any of these artists negatively by the artwork you see, instead be as impressed as I am by what they accomplished in far-from-ideal conditions.
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.
The Saturday Sketch ™ is brought to you by the letters "A", "B" and the number "59", and also courtesy the fine artists who pour their lives into producing wonderful comic books, then come to conventions only to get asked by geeky fangirls for a sketch of Aquaman. Support an artist, buy a comic book.
