For years I spelled his name wrong. It's still wrong on my con report from 2000, but I'll fix that tonight. In any case, nearly five years after meeting him as San Diego, I met him again and asked permission to post his San Diego effort. He agreed, then I got him to do another sketch, which is considerably different than that first one. You tell me, which do you like better, Sadowski 2000 or this one?
AQUAMAN

The Artist's Choice
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 "S", "S" and the number "89", 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.
