Are YOU Ready For Some ARTBALL?!

Are You Ready For Some

"ArtBall"?! 

Fantastic Paintings On Baseballs By Monty Sheldon!

Click Here to see our Newly listed Comics, Books, and Graphic Novels!  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:

"You might be curious to see my latest art project for 2009.

Every Sunday night I will be posting on eBay 3-5 1/1 fully penciled sketch cards featuring various baseball and other sports stars of today and yesterday.

I believe it is the first time, for sports cards anyway, that 1/1 sketch cards have been part of a numbered set. So far so good. Drawing them has taken me back to my days at DarK Horse Comics. They are a real blast to work on!"

Monty mentioned being at Dark Horse Comics. 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. Monty's eBay listings can be found at:

http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/rube77_W0QQ_nkwZQQ_armrsZ1QQ_fromZQQ_mdoZ

Monty's other creative works can be viewed at his own web site:

www.montysheldon.com

(Please Note: A complimentary item for this mention / review was Not provided by the creator.)  

I want to thank Monty 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!

For those of you that are new to our blog today, we have an ongoing online 'Comic Con and Pop Culture Convention' ourselves 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 for reading this blog post today, and please join us again for more!  BTW, besides blogging, we have over 479 Reviews that Tina and I have placed in our eBay Reviews Section. Just click here to see our latest reviews!

Jeff Kinney

Author Of:

"Diary Of A Wimpy Kid"

Comes BACK To The New York Comic Con For ONE Day ONLY!

Click here to see our current listings of COMIC CON Pop Culture Items!

The NYCC Runs February 6th, 7th & 8th, 2009...  BUT Jeff Is Only There On Sunday the 8th!

Click Here to see all of our newly listed items for sale!  Jeff Kinney's... Publicist, Karen Wadsworth, sent me word this morning that Jeff will be at the NYCC for ONE Day Only! 

So for fans of Jeff's series of books, I am blogging his One Day Appearance Schedule at the NYCC now!

Signings scheduled for Sunday, February 8th, 2009;

Noon1pm and 2:30 – 3:30pm

Presentation at 1:30pm

For those that are wondering why Jeff isn't there all three days, you gotta see this schedule of his!  Friday in Toronto, Canada...  Saturday in Naperville, Illinois... Sunday at the NYCC... Monday in Highlands Ranch, Colorado... Tuesday in Houston, Texas... Wednesday in Decatur, Georgia...etc...  Whew, I'm tired just thinking of all those miles being racked up!!

If you haven't seen Jeff's works, there are 5 of the "Diary Of A Wimpy Kid" planned for the series.  Jeff worked on the book for six years, and started publishing it online in daily installments! The first book was published in print in 2007, with his second in 2008, and the third was just released in January 2009.

I usually blog about graphic novels, or illustrated stories, or comics, etc.  This is actually promoted as a 'Novel In Cartoons'. You can see sample pages at the usual online sources to see how Jeff conveys his thoughts... 

For those that can't make it to the NYCC 2009 for Sunday the 8th to see Jeff, here are two websites to check out: 

First, if you are a Facebook member, be sure to check out this one of the several 'Jeff Kinney' group pages at:

You can also check out his book series web site at:

www.wimpykid.com

(Please Note: A complimentary hard copy for this mention was not provided by the creator or publisher.)

 

Jeff Kinney is just one of several creators / celebrities / exhibitors that will be at the con that starts tomorrow. I've already blogged about the following that will also be attending the NYCC:

"Being Gordy" At The NYCC!
