Click here to bid!! (Auction ends on Apr 26, 2011 15:17:02 PDT)
Please read the auction details carefully. Much of the information
gets recycled from each show, but there are some new rules and requests
listed below.
As many collectors and fans know, Adam is renowned for his cover art on such books as Catwoman and Wonder Woman, as well as limited run covers for such titles as Power Girl, the Legion of Super Heroes, Joss Whedon’s Serenity and assorted Star Wars projects,
to name but a few. His designs for Sideshow Collectibles Marvel
Comiquette Statues as well as DC Direct’s Women of the DCU busts and
Covergirls statue series are much sought after and enjoyed. This auction
is YOUR chance to have one of Adam’s pieces added to your collection,
and not just any piece. The artwork you win will be a fully rendered
sketch of the character of your choice. The images attached to this
auction are an example of the quality of work that the winner can expect
to receive; each of those pieces was drawn for winners of past auctions
for guaranteed convention sketches!
To participate in this auction, you must meet the following criteria:
the artwork must be collected from Adam in person by the winner at the
upcoming Boston Comic Con. The dates of the convention are April 30th
and May 1st.. You must be an attendee at the show, and be able to
provide photo ID proving you are the same individual that won this
auction. No one else will be allowed to pick up this artwork for you; so
please if you do not plan on being at the Boston Comic Con, do not bid.
We cannot make exceptions. You must be able to pay in full via paypal
at the close of this auction or make arrangements to pay in cash at the
opening of the show. Failure to do so will result in a second chance
offer being sent out to the next highest bidder.
The following restrictions will also apply to this auction: Your
request may be of a single character of your choosing. Adam reserves the
right to add any complimentary characters that he may feel completes
the piece of artwork. We humbly ask that you limit your input to the
character request, and which of the costumes associated with the
character you would like. Please fell free to request a “feeling” for
your piece if you would like to; for example, do you want it humorous,
or sexy; or featuring a style Adam is known for drawing, like art
nouveau or classic pin-up styles. Requests involving specific poses, or
editorializing the content of the sketch tend to limit Adam’s
creativity, so we kindly ask that you refrain from such
specifications.Your artwork will be completed in gray-scale marker as
all of Adam’s convention sketches are, with painted highlights added as
Adam deems it necessary. The examples included with this auction may
look like color was used; Adam achieved this effect using a combination
or warm and cool gray tones markers. The artwork will be 11 by 14
inches, and all materials used are archival in quality. No lewd
requests will be accepted, nor any content deemed to be offensive. If
you ask for something that is either of these, we will politely ask you
for a second choice for the subject of your sketch.
Your artwork will be completed either prior to, or at Boston Comic
Con, unless other arrangements are made. For example; if you only plan
on attending on Saturday, we will try and make sure that your piece is
completed and ready for you to pick up on that day. Something to keep
in mind about this event: Adam’s time is extremely restricted. He has
panels and signings to attend outside of his booth, which eat up a good
amount of what would otherwise be considered his sketching time. Should
these time consuming events prevent Adam from completing your sketch by
the end of the convention, your sketch will be completed from his studio
at home, and mailed to you at our expense. Adam or myself will be in
touch with you prior to the convention to talk about your sketch
request. However, if you neglect to check in with us at the show and
collect your sketch, you will forfeit it. We will not be responsible for
shipping unclaimed artwork at the end of the show, and as stated
earlier, the art MUST be picked up by the auction winner; no
substitutions will be allowed.
