So, you finally have your sketch of Olivier, MEL! That's great!

Yep, and thanks again for letting us know he was going to be there. QD! I was at the Marvel/Activision booth and saw who I thought was Olivier. I went over to talk to him and he said he was sketching at 4pm (Friday) so I made it a point to skip Jim Lee and be 1st in line of Coipel. More on my bi-lingual conversation with Olivier plus tard...

Someone at the Adam Hughes yahoo group said they got a great sketch of DREAM GIRL by AH! I'm anxiously awaiting the scan.... As soon as it's posted, I'll re-post it here (when permission is given).

MEL has one! It was beautiful!

Hey Dean, I think that someone at Adam Hughes' Yahoo group was me, actually


So the story behind this one: Adam's sketch literally fills up in the first 5-10 minutes of the first day of con and I wasn't able to get there till Friday. I happen to be lucky enough to catch Adam when he was doing quick headshots for folks to promote the book "The Ride". I asked for Dream Girl and Adam gave me this. I think he was going to add the star until he realized that the star was supposed to be on the other side of the face so he stopped.

Next, I went over to Tony Harris' table he shared with friends called "Fat Nake Rave" to see if Tony was still sketching at the time. He said his list was full but to try him later at the DC booth. I looked through his sketch pile and found this little gem for just $20! All the others were around $50+ so I think I lucked out:

After meeting the Legionworld folks on Saturday I headed over to see Stan Lee. After Stan, I ran back to the DC booth to catch Tony Harris. I was second to last person, but he was still able to crank out Brainiac 5.1 for me while we talked about his new book Ex-Machina and the funny spots on Brainiac's face:

Okay so not exactly Legion, but here's Olivier Coipel doing Nightcrawler!!! I was perusing the Marvel/Activision booth when I saw a guy that I thought I recognized as Olivier Coipel from a pic I found online. I went up to him to confirm and he told me he was going to sketch later on in the day. I came back and was first in line as we spoke about Matt and his yahoo group, about Legion and Paris and other stuff. He was super cool and super nice (as Ultra Matt and Querl Dox have already told us here). I told him I was both a Legion and X-Men fan and would let him pic who to sketch. He chose Nightcrawler so le voila!


That's it for Legion sketches, if you want to see my other new ones, including Beast Boy (sorta), Sewer Urchin Man, and that fish guy from Kirkman's Invincible check out my site.

How come I'm always late for this stuff!!! Great collection MEL!!!! Thanks for sharing! Yeah, it was you I was talking about at the AH! group. Thanks for the email, too...

Olivier's Nighty sketch is BEE-YOO-TEE-FUL!!
*hic*

Saturday, there was a festival in Paris and Olivier Coipel was there. On this occasion, i had a second sketch from him! It represents Violet and i like it as the previous Live Wire i've had the other time.
I'll try to post it tommorrow if i can found some time, otherwise it will be on monday.

So here it is:

Violet Sketch

Salut QD! Let me try to exercise my rusty french:
C'est un eh...peinture tres joli? J'oublie les mots pour "sketch" ou "drawing". A t-il dessine beaucoup de X-Men et Legion?

Also if anyones a member of Adam Hughes' fan group, someone posted a Dawnstar that Adam drew at Baltimore comic-con. Go check it out...

Eh! You speak very well!

And yes, he draw a lot of X-Men or Avengers and some legion. This time, i wasn't the only one to ask for a legion sketch! There was a few Live Wire too. (2 or 3 if i can remember correctly).

The other sketches will be posted on the net and as soon as it is done, i will give you the link.

There's a copy of it in the Bits forum in Greybird's Winged People thread. I also posted a version of it which I colored (plug!).

That's hot, man. Wow. Definitely sounds like a cool thing you fell into with him. Coipel's a great artist.

Who got some con sketches at WW Texas!?! C'mon, I wanna see pictures!

Barry was such a trooper in regard to sketches... the guy was sitting there for like hours on end, all day every day, sketching.

He was very popular, too, and understandably so... the line for sketches was literally hours long.

STU speaks the truth.

I was the Last In Line (meaning I held the Official DC sign saying just that) on Saturday. There were maybe 30-40 minutes left before the con shut down for the day, and I did not think Barry would be able to get to me. There were other folks behind me, too, hoping to get a sketch or some signatures.

Anyway, Barry told me to put the sign away. He was intent on getting to as many people as he could. The whole team was incredibly generous with their time.

And my Starman sketch looks great. (What, you thought I would get a Legionnaire?)

ooooo can i see it? you have a bunch of jsa sketches now don't know? i always wanted to do a theme based sketch book but can never keep it focused.

I especially like the Green Lantern (Alan Scott) & Flash (Jay Garrick) in Miner's sketch book

I got a quick sketch from David Mack I still need to scan and upload. Maybe tonight.

Wow -- such a cute Violet! Love it!

Thanks for sharing, QD.

The Alan Scott is by Pete Woods of Robin/Detective Comics fame. He and his wife are two of the nicest people I've ever had the pleasure of talking to at a con.

The Jay Garrick is by Chris Giarrusso, who some may know as the guy who did the "Mini-Marvels" books.

The other sketches are by Steve Sadowski, Matt Wagner, Mick Gray, Tom Mandrake, and of course Barry Kitson.

MEL, I'm afraid I just don't have the tech to post any of my stuff here, or I certainly would.
