Adam Hughes! For a $5 donation to an English Sheep Dog rescue, you got a quickie head sketch:
Also, his wife is such a sweetheart. She manned the booth and kept the line interesting. And she loves dogs!
Awesome commission by Esad Ribic:
Ken Knudtsen. This one was really fun to watch! He went mad with these huge oil pastels, then razor bladed in a flurry. The colors are actually super vibrant, the photo doesn't do justice.
Alex Maleev watercolor. Again, the photo doesn't capture how amazing this really is!
Dirk Shearer, who did this using a technique called scratchboard, where blades are used to "scratch" the black ink, revealing white clay underneath. The results are pretty amazing - reminds me of a mix between woodblock print and inking.
We're considering getting the rest of the FF in this style by him.
Two commissions are still outstanding, and we got a bunch of other sweet original art, including pages and sketches. Having artist's alley in a separate section was definitely a plus this year. We got to meet lots of new talent and chat with the artists at length. I love how NYCC is still mostly about comics, and not overrun by TV and movie studios.
