We should contact the same people who organized the "JERICHO" peanut mailing thing to the network. Get them to organize a mass-mailing/internet posting of this bull-shit -- let the comic companies know that fans expect professionals to be working on their product -- not deekheads like Golden...

Given how they let artists and writers make a mockery of deadlines, I'm thinking that professionalism is not a quality that the comic book companies hold in very high regard.

Good convention sketch story(s):
I have gotten three free sketches at conventions by Sean Philips, Avi Granov and Mark Buckingham. Not only are they of great quality but they only took the time I was standing there to do and the artists were all extremely courteous and professional to a fault (even when some of the fans could have tested the patience of a saint).

I came for the bad story, but I stay for the good ones. Very heartening, if heartening is a word.

As for sketches, I've not paid for a sketch at a con yet.
Here are all the ones I got a Bristol last year. With Steve Yeowell, Ian Gibson, Bryan Talbot, Colin MacNeil and Dom Reardon all represented.
I bought pages from Steve Yeowell and Colin MacNeil and have to say every artist I spent any time with at these shows has been great, so far.

Thanks Gerry.
I was in line to get a sketch and watched the guy do Jalo Jones after Halo Jones, and while cheerful, he looked kind of bored.
I had planned to get a Halo, but changed my mind on getting there - promptly racking my brains for what else he'd drawn. So I asked for Sam Slade, head in a box.
He cursed as it's apparently hard to get the box right, then mumbled, then decided he'd really like to have a crack at it. He seemed quite pleased when he was finished and I do really like it.

In my experience of Irish cons, the artists never charge for sketches.
Is that the case for the UK?
