I agree ... and I can't believe he did them all ... most artists will limit commissions or at least put them aside if others request a commission

well I was lucky to ask him for my piece before the show got started, sadly the show was slow and his rate was not extreme but with not what I can see everyone dropping for a commission with the economy the way it is UGH the economy killed my show LOL

But I am pretty sure the guy was a dealer or something who will throw them up on ebay I am sure to make a profit.

I have to send jimmy a scan of the bats he wants to put it in his next sketchbook

also any statueforum members who want to come to the next show let me know you are my guest we are working on guest list now soo never know who we can get to show up.

sorry to hear the show was not what you hoped for ... I think there is a lot of that lately with the economy.

When is your next show? Would you be willing to hook up a fellow forum member with a sketch or two?

Thanks bf - I really appreciate that! I would check out the con myself if it were closer.

I have had the pleasure of meeting Herb a few times as he usually does the mid Ohio con every year. I have a few pics with him and picked up a sketch last year. He didn't make this year's show - not sure if it is because they changed the date but I am hoping he comes back again. He is a true gentleman and a blast to hang out with (his wife is a gem as well). I will get something else from Herb at some point ... hoping I can meet him to do so

Did Jim finish all 10? When he was at ECCC this year he didn't get that many done because his work is so detailed.

Also please keep us posted on your future shows. I'd love to get this kind of access to Jim Cheung and other artists.

Cool, I would love to have access to Jimm Cheung. I have e-mailed him and he doesn't do many commissions and I have missed out on the Hulk covers he did.
