It's The Latest Thing!
Mood:  a-ok

It's The Latest THING!

A New Sketch By Anthony D Lee!

I 'joined' Anthony D Lee's... Facebook Comic Con Artist's Table during the Gala Premiere of that virtual con.

At the same time I signed up for a 'Free Sketch' to be drawn by Anthony as he was promoting his table at the new con.

Of course my first choice would be 'The Thing', one of the members of the Fantastic Four from Marvel Comics, if Anthony was willing to draw the character!  Note: Because of the Thing's 'rocky' body, it takes additional time to draw.

Well... he was, and the above sketch is one I wanted to share with everyone here on my Blog! 

I am going to prize this as much as when I had Joe Sinnott sign my issue of Fantastic Four #95 with a full page panel of the Thing holding up a building on his back!  Why did I have Joe sign that issue?  Well, he once said at a panel I was atttending, that the full page panel on page 8 of that issue was his favorite inking job on the Thing over Jack Kirby's pencils!

Actually, the sketch that Anthony drew for me is just one of fiveteen sketches he has drawn so far for FBCC attendees that signed up at his table!

To see all the great sketches he has illustrated so far, including Spy Smasher, the Scarlet Witch, Green Lantern, Dawnstar, and others... check out his table at:

http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=48365333090&ref=ts 

You would have to be a Facebook member to see them though... but it would be worth joing FB and Anthony's FBCC Table to get a great sketch emailed to you!

For those of you that are new to our blog today, we also 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 own online eBay Featured Store

Thanks again to all of YOU reading our current and archived blog posts!

Creator of the webcomic 'Pugnuggle Tales', and also doing the pencils/inks/colors on 'Essence' issues 3 and 4 for the Ultimate Comics Group, has contributed 4 illustrated sketch cards that are now listed in the 'Sketch Card Auction and Gallery Show for American Cancer Society'!

Harold saw my earlier posts about both artists that I blogged about who also submitted sketch cards for the same worthy cause!   Harold and I have been Facebook Friends for a while, but I had missed his entries earlier, as there are One Thousand listings for bidders to choose from.  That is a Great turnout from the comics industry!  

Thus Harold now joins my earlier blog posts on this Auction Event with his set of four cards based on his 'Pugnuggle Tales' which you can see by Clicking Here!

So that would make three artists that I have blogged about that have contributed to this cause... Harold Cupec with his four cards,  Daniel Miki's two set of collage sketch cards and Greg Harms set of four 'Twilight' sketch cards!

Here are the details for the benefit from the 'Comics For Cures' web site as this blog post is published: 

Blue Line Art has been organizing their second annual exhibition and auction of original sketch card art to benefit the American Cancer Society.

Their first event in March of 2008 showcased 200 artist with over 1200 sketch cards. They raised over $7,400 for the American Cancer Society and are hoping that this current event will be bigger and better in raising funds.

There will be a public exhibition at Comics 2 Games, Florence, Ky location on April 4th 2009. The auction of all the original art cards will go online starting the week before the Sketch Card exhibition and will end that evening. All proceeds from the sale of the cards will go to the American Cancer Society.

Bob and Mike Hickey, founders and owners of Blue Line Art, are organizing this fundraiser in honor of Bob’s wife Katie, a breast cancer survivor. Blue Line publishes Sketch Magazine and Graphic Novel Scene and sells Blue Line Art boards to both comic book companies and individual artists. The Hickey family has long been aware of the generosity of the comic book community. All involved are looking forward to another successful event that celebrates the diversity of comic book artists’ unique talents and their heroic spirit of helping those in need!

For those of you that are interested in bidding on Harold's sketch cards... Please click here to see Harold's contribution to the worthy cause!  As of this blog posting, each one of the four cards is at the starting bid of only $1.00 plus shipping!

There are a thousand total listings of other sketch cards in this special event to raise funds; please check out the following link to take you to the eBay page where all of those auction listings are listed until the end of the auction time:  Click Here!

(Note: Make It So Marketing is NOT affialiated with Comics For Cures, nor any of the sponsors of the benefit auction. This is for review / mention purposes only, and to hi-light Harold Cupec's contributions to the fund raiser.)

Greg Harms... Currently well known as the great inker on the '10th Muse' comic book mini-series, tells me that he also has 4 illustrated sketch cards listed in the 'Sketch Card Auction and Gallery Show for American Cancer Society'!

This became known to me after I blogged earlier about Daniel Miki's two set of collage cards submitted for the same worthy cause!

So if You or a Good Friend of yours is into the 'Twilight' book series, or the recent film, or the new DVD... this might be something of great interest, because it is an UNIQUE item... only one set of this was created by Greg before it was separated for for four separate listings!
