This sketch is a good six years old. It's one of the first I ever got, and it is the first Aquaman sketch I got. The con I got this one at was a very small con with only a couple of artists, and Jeff Johnson agreed to do an Aquaman sketch on a comic backing board for a small price. He also drew a Green Lantern sketch for my husband. After this con, it was over a year before I got my next sketch, and that was in my Dev Madan's start to my small sketchbook. When I met Jeff again at the Emerald City Comicon, he gave me permission to post this sketch.
AQUAMAN

Jeff Johnson Artwork
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.
