Here's the next five Thing sketches that I've collected! These five have a few things in common beyond the obvious: they're all from the 2006 Comic-Con International, and they're all AWESOME. Check 'em out, with witty commentary on each:
Fiona Staples - Comic-Con International 2006
Fiona Staples was the art half of Markosia's "Done to Death" book. Ryan Stegman told her to draw ears on the Thing (as I bugged him about doing the same in previous pieces of art), so she did - and then put flowers growing out of his head. I love the uniqueness of this sketch.
Comic-Con International 2006
I really should remember this artist's name (Scott?), as he sat in at my booth for an hour or so at the 2006 San Diego show. He had a pinup in Image's Invincible a few months later.
He apparently ran into Rosario Dawson a few minutes before stopping at our booth, and he was kicking himself for not being able to talk to her. "She was just so beautiful", he kept saying.
Jason Martin - Comic-Con International 2006
Jason Martin (creator of "Super Real") had helped promote Mr. Massive, the book I had at the San Diego show this year, so we chatted a few times over the weekend. The all blue Thing was a great touch.
Aaron Farmer - Comic-Con International 2006
Aaron Farmer (part of Ms. Monster's illustrious crew) had a booth next to ours at the San Diego show in 2006, and he did this cute rendition in no time flat. I especially enjoy the Disney-esque look to the words. This from a mohawk wearing hard core guy like Aaron...spectacular.
Todd Nauck - Comic-Con International 2006
Todd Nauck is a great artist and a really nice guy. I apparently even cut in line to give him this book, but it all worked out - Todd even drew a really cool Mr. Massive cover for me that I was just able to use in the second issue of Teddy and the Yeti.
More to come, some of which even top these, as hard as that is to believe.
Cool!
