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.

Here's another solution. Take the list of names and charge an extra $6 for Shipping, and he can do them at home, and mail them out flat rate. It's not like he's going to lose out on earning his money, time or investment back. If your name isn't on the list, have it added, and you'll be in queue for another time.

"JSC's sketches aren't nearly as intricate or involved as Hughes." True, but maybe that's because he'd rather do quick ones to make sure everyone gets one, rather than a select special few?
