This will come as no shock, but they are all Jubilees. Some FANTASTIC ones!
Phenomenal Neon Jubilee by Stuart Sayger:
Stuart is one of the, scratch that, he is THE nicest and most detail oriented artists I've ever encountered. I already have a piece from him that was already a jewel in my collection. When I saw his name on the list for WWA this year, that's what got me to pull the trigger and by tickets. We got there on Friday, and he miraculously didn't have a mile long list of sketches already, which was my fear, this made me ecstatic, because I so wanted another piece from him. He even remembered the Jubilee I got from him before! Those are the best kinds or artist in my opinion. I really wanted a showcase piece from him, but my budget is relatively meager, so we talk about what I was interested in and could afford. What I really wanted was for him to have all the artistic freedom possible so that I didn't constrain or influence what he would do too much. So, we hashed it all out (and he really cares about what you as the "patron" wants or has in mind, which can be really rare in this hobby), and we were going to return towards the end of the day to check back, since we would only be attending the one day. When I caught a glimpse of what he had done, I was floored. It was amazing. The colors, the contrast, the pose, all spot on. His choice of putting her on the neon sign, the pink glow, her powers and costume. Stunning. That's all I can say, it's absolutely wonderful. He was still tweaking things when we arrived back at his table, and you can tell he is a perfectionist (in the best possible way), and continued to refine it as we eagerly watched and get it to the peak of perfection. He wanted to ensure that I walked away with a piece that I loved, and boy howdy, did he achieve that and then some. It's far beyond anything I could have imagined or expected. He nailed her personality and character in every way. I can't say enough fantastic things about Stuart and anyone that's on the fence about getting a commission from him is crazy, just do it. You will NOT regret a thing. This is now the centerpiece of my collection and goes up with my Bill Sienkiewicz Jubilee as soon as humanly possible! I already have it framed and ready to hang. I'm that excited!
Super clean and super cute Jubilee by Michael Cho:
I did not think I would be able to get one from Michael as he already had some folks on his sketch list, but he was so very nice to work me in and get it done so quickly!

I have wanted a page by Al for so long. I'm stoked to finally have two.
Darling Watercolor Jubilee by Jose Fernandez (This was a pre-done sketch, meaning not commissioned by me directly, he just had it for sale and I snatched it up.):

This show was MUCH, MUCH better than last year. I'm so very happy we went and I'm thrilled with my haul.
