FANEXPO 2006 REPORT: PART 3 – ETHAN VAN SCIVER

I met Ethan Van Sciver (again). He is always a great guy to hang with. Of course I put my foot in my mouth as I gave him all my Green Lantern Comics to sign and gave him stuff he didn’t do to sign. (Whoops).

Since I love his Art sooooo much I was willing to pay $25 bucks for a sketch. While I was waiting at his table, I started talking to a little girl and her mother. The daughter was really started getting into comics, just like her dad. The mother was telling me how her husband had sold ALL of his comics to buy her an engagement ring. Now that’s love! So while we are waiting the person in front of the three of us finished getting her sketch of Superman, and then payed her $25. The mother had no idea that the artist’s charge for sketches, so when it is her turn she satarts to say. I had no idea you were charging for a sketch and Ethan said,

“Kids don’t pay for sketches!”

Ethan is a great guy, and he did a killer Plastic man sketch for this kid. I got a very cool Guy Gardner sketch.

(Scans to come later.)

The show overall was Ok. If it wasn’t for the artists and writers I wanted to meet. I probably would not have gone.

So let’s see if they can make me come back next year.
