It's been a couple of weeks since I posted a piece of comic book art, so I thought it was about time to get another one up. There aren't a lot of comic sketch collectors out here on the baseball card blogs, but Commishbob over at The Five Tool Collector has been posting recently about his Batman sketch card project. There is some good stuff there, so if you like comic art or Batman you should check it out.
I got this Power Girl sketch card from eBay. It's from a licensed set, Cryptozoic's DC Comics Superman: The Legend card set from several years back. The artist on this sketch card is Beck Seashols, who works in a cute, cartoony style. She's got a Facebook page, a website, and an Etsy shop with a lot of cool stuff in it. I'm always happy to add a new sketch to my collection, especially when it's a sketch from an artist I haven't collected yet.
Great sketch card! It's simple... but very colorful. Love the watercolor looking background.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was pretty neat. I don't mind a simple sketch, especially if it's the artist's usual style. I like it when artists do something with the background. It really adds a lot to the card.
DeleteThanks for the shout out. I've learned a lot about comic book characters recently by poking around sketch cards. Different artists' interpretation of the same characters is pretty interesting.
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed watching your sketch card collection grow. Some characters have a lot of history, with plenty of costumes to choose from. That along with different art styles makes for infinite takes on a character's look.
