[Rocket]

Check out this thread mate, it's some of us SF Aussies at the Melbourne Con a few weeks back. I can tell you the prices of these sorts of stuff if you'd like

Thanks for the info Rocket

Just chiming in to add that Tim's website shows how he handles con sketches in the US using his "fastpass" method - http://www.timsale1.com/conventions.html#sketches

However, I've found that the US artists seem to do things differently here in comparison to the US cons (including pricing which is usually cheaper, probably due to different expectations/budgets). As a result, Tim may handle things very differently in Oz.

I know that Tim occasionally does private commissions (priced accordingly) but I wasn't able to try and arrange/afford one this time around as I've already arranged one with Dave Gibbons and can't do both Best,

What is Gibbons going to be charging for sketches? Would love a Rorschack(sp?)

[Royd]

Just got back from a trip to Melbourne and saw your query. I'll try and find out what Dave expects to charge for sketches at Supanova. These are con "quickie" sketches not full figure detailed pieces

Best,

First up, new guests including:

Rachelle Lefevre (Twilight) (Sydney only)
Gil Birmingham (Twilight) (Perth only)
Herb Jefferson Jr. (Battlestar Galactica Classic)
Stanislav Ianevski (Viktor Krum from Harry Potter) and...........

Karl Urban (LOTR, Bourne Supremacy, Pathfinder, Chronicles of Riddick and most recently, Star Trek!)

A great line-up!

In answer to an earlier query, I heard back from Dave Gibbons who said that he often does a "quickie" Rorschach for free when book signing but doesn't tend to sit down for extended sketch sessions.

That's also what Howard Chaykin and Joe Jusko said last year (that they wouldn't be sketching) but they changed their mind when they saw that the Aussie cons were arranged a little differently and fan expectations were not so demanding.

As a result, they decided to sketch and charged around $25.00 for loose sketches and head-shots. Hopefully Dave will feel the same way Best,

Supanova Sydney this week-end and then, next week-end, my hometown con Supanova Perth - woohoo!

Just heard back from Dave Gibbons who said that he's completed my Rorschach commission which made a very happy little vegemite indeed

Michael - Still not sure what Dave intends to do as regards sketching at Sydney and Perth although he did say that he'll do freebie head sketches in sketchbooks and TPBs. He said he didn't intend to do paid sketches but who knows what'll happen on the day. Best,
