Fantastic Paintings On Baseballs By Monty Sheldon... Plus A New Feature For 2009! My morning schedule includes... checking emails, eBay sales, Facebook messages, and then blogging. After blogging, I check to see our blog's visitor stats to see what is of interet to current readers of our blogs. So even though my Blog isn't about sports, there have been several visitors already today checking out an archived blog post of mine that is 'sports related', yet also has 'roots' in comic books! That would be the post on Monty Sheldon's Artball and Sketch Card Series that I posted back on February 7th. Monty Sheldon became a Facebook Friend of mine after he first purchased some back issue comic books from our eBay Featured Store! With his online payment he added on a clickable tagline link, which I, being the curious fellow that I am, clicked on it. I was transported to his web site and totally blown away by the items that I saw he had painted and listed on it! I immediately wrote him back and asked more about his creative works. He also mentioned his 'Sketch Cards' works. Part of my ongoing conversation with him included the following from Monty: As Monty mentioned being at Dark Horse Comics, I asked him about when he was there. In another message he mentioned a little more: "I worked there from 1989 - 1998. When I started working there I had become the 13th employee at the time. When I left I had become the 5th in seniority behind only Mike Richardson, Randy Stradley, Chris Chalenor, and Neil Hankerson. It was a great place to work." Monty has done really well since his days at Dark Horse Comics. His cards start at bid for $49.95 including Free Shipping, and one of last week's card auctions, (a Jackie Robinson sketch card), had 12 bids on it and ended up at $255.01 ending bid! Monty's eBay listings for his sketchcards can be found at: http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/rube77_W0QQ_nkwZQQ_armrsZ1QQ_fromZQQ_mdoZ Those currently up for auction end in just a little over 5 days from this posting! Monty's other creative works including his 'ArtBall' creations can be viewed at his own web site: (Note: A complimentary item for this mention / review was Not provided by the artist.) I want to thank Monty again for adding that tagline with his message! For you Baseball Fans out there that are reading this blog post, you gotta check out those two sites for more of what Monty has created! For those of you that are new to our blog today, we have an ongoing online 'Comic Con and Pop Culture Convention' here at "Make It So Marketing Inc.", what with our daily blog posts, and new listings of items for sale in our online eBay Featured Store! Thanks again to all of YOU reading our current and archived blog posts!~ Michael (and Tina)
