Sketchbook - Jeff Johnson

Last week's sketch by Jeff Johnson was six years old, but this one is brand new. When I got permission to post Jeff's sketch from 1998 here on my blog, I also asked if Jeff would be willing to do another sketch for me. He did so, and is the first artist to have two Aquaman sketches in my collection. Hopefully, he won't be the last. The story of the con I got this sketch at is my Emerald City Comicon 2004 Report.


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.

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. Support an artist, buy a comic book.
