I bought Halloween Eve from her! Damn, I should have asked for a sketch from her, too!

I had a chance to snag one from him towards the end of the day on Saturday. I guess I should have been bolder (or braver) and just asked.<br /><br />Thanks for the tip, though.

I let them know I use a sketchbook, want Supergirl, etc.<br /><br />Lopresti - $120<br />Eisma - $120<br />Hamner (bust) - $75<br />Perez (quick) -$40<br />Reeder - head/bust - free<br />Jimenez -head/bust - free<br /><br />Given that I have paid $300 for some commissions I have been dissatisfied with, this con was a complete win for me.<br /><br />Great BC sketch by Moustafis Count!Anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023193805914075078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-85420219120421312642013-08-07T11:24:15.850-04:002013-08-07T11:24:15.850-04:00Hey Anj,

I posted the one Black Canary sketch I bought on my Black Canary blog: http://blackcanaryfan.blogspot.com/2013/08/black-canary-by-greg-moutafis.html<br /><br />I only went on Saturday, and the decision was nearly last-minute. I fully intend to go again next year; maybe we can meet up and chat.<br /><br />Other than commissioning that pic of Dinah, the highlight for me was talking to LEE WEEKS for about ten minutes at the end of the day on Saturday. He was obviously tired, and had spent a while looking at a hungry young artist's portfolio, giving the kid some thoughtful and considerate feedback. I had a blast just watching Lee give the kid a Master's class on panel construction. By the time I went to buy a signed Captain America print, I could tell Lee wanted to talk about anything BUT comics. So we talked about marriage, children, health, sports. It went all over the place. Very cool.<br />Count Drunkulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130778855882160092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-29917527285681457272013-08-06T13:35:35.174-04:002013-08-06T13:35:35.174-04:00"For a total just over $300 (in total) I got ..."For a total just over $300 (in total) I got Aaron Lopresti, Joe Eisma, Cully Hamner, George Perez, Amy Reeder, and Phil Jimenez."<br /><br />Wha-- who-- how-- GAH! I spent more than that at Space City Con this weekend, which suffice to say did not feature a tenth of the luminaries. I'm not bemoaning the quality of the pieces I got, but my sympathy over the rescheduling of your con has officially evaporated. Lovely piece by Lopresti!
