Got some truly exciting news to share! Artist extraordinary, creator of some of my absolute favorite comics and a huge influence on my own work—MR ART ADAMS (follow @arthuradamsart, thank me later!) just volunteered to join in on the fun! Art will be doing a 9”x12” original sketch which I’ll auction off via @eBay in addition to my #60sketchesover60days daily sketch of the day. Art thought it would be fun for you guys to decide what he would draw. Most likes in the comments section is what he will illustrate and we’ll both post up the sketch when it’s done. As with all these sketches, all the proceeds will go to support struggling comic shops in need! Thank you Arthur for your generosity and time and talent. Sound off below! And try and consolidate your voting for optimal results :) EDIT: looks like it’s close between Wolverine and Dr Doom. Gonna let Art decide. Stay tuned to see his contribution!

Excited to share that none other than @ivanreisart will be joining in the fundraising fun! In my mind, Ivan is the proverbial ‘Go-To’ DC artist. The kind of insanely talented draftsman who can bring every (and I mean, every!) character to life (each in their own personal, unique way) when you do some big, epic crisis level event type story! It’s a mantle and prestigious honor that traces back to the amazing work by the legendary @philjimeneznyc all the way back to the master himself George Perez! Ivan has graciously offered to draw a 9”x12” sketch of a character you all will choose. I’ll put it on @eBay when it’s complete and all the proceeds will go to benefit BINC, a nonprofit organization that will help out comic shops in need during this very real life crisis! You know the drill—suggest and upvote what you would like Ivan to draw below! And for those who celebrate it—happy Good Friday ????????
