Adam Hughes stops convention requests at the con., One Bad Apple. Options

Just found this article on Bleeding Cool.

I'm really kind of bummed out, because fixed pricing would have made obtaining a sketch affordable; and I missed my opportunity to get a sketch at Mid Ohio Con last year.

It's nice that he'll still offer it on ebay for folks that can afford it, and that's the problem for me. As a collector I can't afford the high prices Mr. Hughes work will inevitably command on the site where there's more money than sense.

When I went to the Pittsburgh show I spotted an Ethan Van Sciver sketch there at a booth that I saw him drawing at Mid Ohio Con, marked up to $400.

Flippers continue to ruin it for the rest of us. That's the way the cookie crumbles.

Holy crap! I posted about this in my thread. I figured eventually Hughes would get pissed and just stop doing con sketches altogether. I mean why bother? If he can sell his own sketches for thousands of dollars instead of a couple of hundred bucks, why wouldn't he?
