I got this sketch at the 2000 San Diego Comicon, and you can read about it here. I just want to pause a moment and once again thank my little sister for being in Paraguay that year so I was inspired to write her long letters about the con, which later became my con report. Without her, I probably would have nothing to say beyond where I got the sketch. Anyway, I was very stressed that day, and had decided to stop trying so hard to get sketches. I made a goal of five sketches for the day, and ended up getting sixteen. Philip's sketch was the third sketch of the day, and it's a beaut! And he added to my fish collection, too... I'm really going to have to count my fish one of these days.

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", "Q" and the number "27", 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.
