ok, this is such a tease, but... since I travel for work, most of my stuff is boxed up in storage, so... someday, I'll unpack and scan stuff, but, just to toss out some names...
I own the infamous JB "Batman smiley face" sketch that somehow turned into a "Bad Byrne" story (but I bought it off eBay). I've also got some cool restaurant placemats with art by folks like Darick Robertson and Kieron Dywer, and Geoff Johns drew me a cool Joker pic when we all went drinking with him in LA that time... I also have, from back when I was, oh, 15 or so, a con sketch of Iron Man by Mark Gruenwald. (it's right next to a Spider-Man sketch by Rob Liefield - and let me justify that - I'm neither a fan of his, nor do I hate him - he's not my cup of tea, for sure. But, as many have said about him, he was super nice in person, and it was really early in his career, so he wasn't a "superstar" yet - and the only reason I stopped to talk to him was that he did the interiors to the Spider-Man Annual that JB did the cover to - and that caught my interest... plus he was sitting next to Gruenwald. So after I got the sketch from Gruenwald, he offered one up, and that's how it happened.)
To be honest, I feel funny asking for sketches when I used to go to cons, and more so when I started "working" the cons, as I felt like there was some sort of line I was crossing - like, if you're on that side of the table, if you're out drinking with the guys, etc, it wasn't right to ask for a sketch or autograph...
Having said that, in a frequently repeated story here, I had a geek-out at one party when I realized the two guys I was sitting next to on a couch, talking with for the previous hour, were, in fact, Mike Allred and Jamie Hernandez.
Anyway - I'll post them when I dig them out, when ever I move again... so.. like... in a year or so, basically...
